Key Benefits of SMS Healthcare Solutions
The healthcare sector is just beginning to tap into the capabilities of text messaging solutions.
Help patients in real-time
SMS medical alert systems make it possible for patients to receive help in the nick of time. Two-way SMS can also be used to send status updates until qualified help can intervene.
Reduce working hours
Text messages allow healthcare personnel to read and respond at a convenient time. This ultimately leads to more focused work and fewer work hours.
Provide vital results on the go
Medical SMS can be used to provide quick links to MRI results, laboratory parameters, genotyping and other useful information for each vital consultation.
Free up vital funds
Missed appointments, cancellations and hundreds of phone calls can severely impact a clinic’s finances. Healthcare SMS solutions, which are incredibly affordable, will free up much-needed medical funds.
Improve patient-doctor relationships
On his road to recovery, a patient must trust that his physician is focused on his wellbeing. Such trust can be nurtured with the help of, targeted text-messaging systems.
Reduce wait times
The only thing that is worse than waiting in line is having to wait in line when you are sick. Medical text alerts and reminders make it possible for healthcare facilities to inform patients about exact waiting times in real-time.

We recommend segmenting your audience into relevant groups to reduce monthly campaign costs. Organize your lists according to different parameters (e.g., disease type, age, medical history, etc.) and send targeted texts to them.
