WhatsApp Chatbot for Healthcare
Streamline patient communication on the platform they already use. Automate appointment scheduling, send prescription reminders, answer medical FAQs, and provide post-visit follow-ups — all through secure WhatsApp messaging.
Why WhatsApp for Healthcare?
Patients check WhatsApp far more than email. With 98% open rates, appointment reminders and health updates actually get seen. For healthcare providers, this means fewer no-shows, better patient engagement, and reduced administrative burden.
Real-World Scenarios
See how healthcare businesses use Chatloom on WhatsApp every day.
Appointment Scheduling
Patient messages "I need to see Dr. Smith next week" — the bot checks availability, suggests slots, and confirms the booking.
Prescription Reminders
Automated daily or weekly medication reminders sent via WhatsApp, with refill alerts when prescriptions are running low.
Pre-Visit Instructions
Automatically send preparation instructions (fasting requirements, documents to bring) 24 hours before scheduled appointments.
Post-Visit Follow-Up
AI sends check-in messages after appointments, collects feedback, and provides care instructions — escalating concerns to staff.
