Video platform

Diagnode has successfully developed a proprietary, secure video platform, setting itself apart in the market. Each video appointment within this platform is allocated a unique link, tailored exclusively to the participating doctor and the patient. The video session is effortlessly initiated by the doctor through a simple click on their designated link, while the patient follows suit. Notably, this cutting-edge video platform operates seamlessly within the web browser, obviating the necessity for an additional standalone application. In addition, a virtual waiting room feature empowers patients to effortlessly check in for their scheduled telehealth appointments and patiently await their turn to be seen.

Intelligent appointment scheduling

Our appointment scheduling system optimises the booking process for patients. It considers factors like appointment type, referrals, practitioner availability, and urgency of the medical condition to guide patients to the best type of appointments. Existing patients enjoy a seamless experience with pre-filled forms and the ability to update information. The system notifies patients if their referral has expired. Patients can upload screenshots and images to aid communication, and our advanced NLP algorithm extracts referral details. The system offers flexibility with video consultations, telephone appointments, or in-clinic visits, catering to diverse patient needs. This enhances convenience, reduces administrative burdens, and improves overall efficiency and accuracy.
