Medical scheduling via WhatsApp
In Brazil, WhatsApp is the lowest-friction channel for patients. Scheduling via WhatsApp works when:
- the patient resolves everything in a few steps
- the schedule is updated in the system in real time
- there is traceability and data for management
What can be automated
- confirm appointment or exam
- reschedule due to unavailability
- provide exam preparation instructions
- prevention and follow-up campaigns
- pre-appointment data collection (when applicable)
Manual WhatsApp vs smart WhatsApp
Manual: someone replies, checks the schedule, and records it later.
Smart: the agent understands (text or voice), checks availability, and updates the system — with logs and indicators.
Why “no app” changes adoption
Fewer barriers (installation, registration, password) → higher adoption and better schedule predictability.
Expected results
More engagement, more intelligence, lower costs, more prevention.
