DrDoctor

For example, patients can book and manage their appointments online or by SMS using DrDoctor. It identifies, and targets long waiting patients, and automatically books them into empty slots in clinics. Patients fill out digital assessments before or after their appointments, which can then be used to personalise their care pathway. It uses the data collected to run analytics, identify at-risk patients and provide earlier interventions.

Together, this provides an end-to-end digital experience for patients. It typically cuts time to first contact by 8 days, increases utilisation by 10%, and cuts waiting lists by 10-15%. 96% of patients recommend the service, which is used in multiple NHS hospitals and by over 4M patients annually. DrDoctor's evident effectiveness as a waiting list solution has led to its growth up to Series B funding so far. And its 2023 round is being channelled into expanding its sales and development teams and scaling across the NHS.
