GDPR compliant. Encrypted messaging. Learn about our security
No-shows cost $150K+/year.
📅
20% average no-show rate.
Phone-only reminders fail to reach patients reliably. One in five appointments sits empty, costing your practice revenue and staff time.
💰
$200 lost per no-show.
Every empty slot is revenue that walked away. Across a full year, that adds up to six figures in lost income for most practices.
📩
15% email open rate.
Reminder emails go unread. Patients don't check their inbox the way they check their Messages app. You need a channel they actually use.
📞
Patients dodge phone calls.
Unknown numbers get ignored. Voicemails go unheard. Your front desk spends hours calling patients who never pick up.
Where patients respond.
98% of iMessages are read within 3 minutes. Practices using iMessage reminders see no-show rates drop from 20% to under 10%.
