The problem it solves

You lose money and time slots every time a patient forgets their appointment and doesn't show up. Your front desk doesn't have the bandwidth to call and text every patient with reminders, and once someone misses their visit, nobody follows up to get them rebooked.

Who it fits

A healthcare practice or clinic that wants to reduce no-shows without adding front-desk staff.

How it works

  1. Triggers when a new appointment is booked in your scheduling system
  2. Creates or updates the patient's contact record with the appointment details
  3. Sends an instant confirmation text mentioning the appointment time and location
  4. Enrolls the patient in a reminder sequence leading up to the visit
  5. Checks after the appointment time and automatically starts a re-booking text sequence if the patient no-showed

You decide how many no-shows a reminder would have prevented, from your own experience. We assume no rate, and we do not count slots you would have refilled anyway.

What you get

Confirmed and reminded appointments, plus automatic re-booking outreach for anyone who misses their visit.

What you need

An Aloware account with API access and a booking system that can send appointment data, such as Calendly, Acuity, or SimplePractice.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
