The Challenge

Why forgotten appointments waste doctor time

  • 15-30% of booked patients simply do not show up — no call, no message.
  • Reception manually calls patients the day before — hours of repetitive work.
  • Empty slots from no-shows cannot be filled on short notice.
The Solution

Multi-channel reminders that patients actually see

Opdio sends SMS, WhatsApp, and email reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before appointments. Patients can confirm or reschedule with one tap — reducing no-shows and freeing your front desk.
