Overview

Patients forget appointments or cancel late, leaving empty slots that other patients could have used. Front-desk teams spend time calling patients to remind them, updating the schedule and finding someone to fill each gap. Indite sets up an AI agent that sends reminders, updates your schedule from patient replies and offers open slots to your waitlist, while decisions stay with your staff.

Challenges

Reminder calls take staff time

Calling each patient before their visit adds to the front desk’s daily workload.

Replies don’t reach the schedule

When patients confirm or cancel by message, someone has to update the schedule by hand.

Freed slots go unused

Late cancellations often leave gaps because there’s no quick way to offer them to waiting patients.

Missed visits aren’t followed up

Patients who miss an appointment are easy to lose track of without a clear next step.

Solution

Send timely reminders

The agent sends reminders at the times you choose, such as 48 hours and 3 hours before each visit, with simple options to confirm, move or cancel.

Handle confirmations and changes

The agent reads each reply and confirms, moves or cancels the visit in your schedule, and sends questions it can’t answer to the front desk.

Offer open slots to the waitlist

When a slot frees up, the agent offers it to suitable patients on your waitlist and books the first one who accepts.

Follow up after missed visits

After a missed visit, the agent offers new times, and patients who don’t reply are added to a call list for your staff.

Connects with: your scheduling system (such as FHIR scheduling, Google Calendar or Calendly), WhatsApp, SMS and email.

Business Impact

Routine scheduling steps move off your staff’s desk, while every decision stays with your team.

Reminder calls handled by the agent

Reminders go out automatically, so staff don’t need to call each patient before their visit.

Schedule changes recorded straight away

When a patient confirms, moves or cancels by reply, your schedule is updated without anyone re-entering it.

Open slots offered while they can be filled

Freed-up appointments go to patients on your waitlist as soon as they become available.

A next step for every missed visit

Patients who miss a visit are offered new times, and anyone who doesn’t reply is added to your staff’s call list.
