Appointment and first-contact agent

Patients book, reschedule and ask about services on LINE themselves, against real doctor schedules, so the counter nurse goes back to the patient in front of her.

A doctor, a nurse, an elderly patient and her daughter stand against a mint backdrop; the tablet shows a Tuesday appointment. Clinics & hospitals
“Nurses at the counter answer booking calls instead of caring for the patient in front of them. Half the questions are opening hours and which doctors are in.”

The problem

The counter phone rings all day, and half the calls are the same questions. What time do you open, which day is this doctor in, how much is a health check, do I need to fast. The nurse who should be with the patient in front of her puts everything down to answer, opens the doctor roster and writes the appointment in a book or keys it into the HIS by hand.

Appointments taken by phone and on LINE live in different places, so some days two patients hold the same slot. Patients who forget are reminded by nobody, and the doctor’s chair sits empty while others wait for one.

How we solve it

We connect the agent to the doctor schedules in your HIS or queue system. When a patient messages on LINE OA to book, it asks which department or doctor, offers the slots that are actually free, books one, sends confirmation with preparation instructions and reminds before the visit. If the patient reschedules, the old slot goes straight back to the next patient.

Questions about services, prices and insurance are answered only from the information the clinic provides. When a patient describes symptoms, the agent asks the screening questions your nurses have defined and suggests the right department. It does not diagnose, does not suggest medication, and tells the patient plainly that it is a booking assistant.

Symptoms that meet the criteria you set, such as chest pain, breathing difficulty or bleeding that won’t stop, go to a nurse at once with advice to call 1669. Every medical decision belongs to doctors and nurses, and patient data is accessed by permission under PDPA.

How it runs

Work comes in from
  • LINE OA
  • Phone calls diverted to chat
  • Form on the clinic website
  • Doctor schedules from the HIS
What the AI does
  1. Offer real free slots and book
  2. Answer services, prices and preparation
  3. Screen with the nurses’ form
  4. Send urgent symptoms to a nurse at once
Where it lands
  • Appointment in the HIS with a reminder
  • Nurse gets urgent cases with the details
  • Patient gets pre-visit preparation
  • Dashboard of appointments and questions

Before and after

After
The nurse leaves the patient to answer booking calls all day
Patients book and reschedule on LINE against real doctor schedules
Phone and LINE bookings clash because they live in different places
Every appointment sits in the HIS in one set, with no double slots
A patient forgets and the doctor’s chair sits empty while others wait
The agent reminds before the visit and a freed slot goes to the next patient

Who gets what

Business owner

Fewer empty doctor hours from no-shows and double bookings, and new patients who message after hours no longer slip away to another clinic.

IT director

Connected to the HIS through its API or the channel the vendor supports, installable inside the hospital network, with patient data accessed by permission, an audit log, and the design reviewed with your legal team for PDPA.

The team using it every day

The counter nurse stops being the one who answers booking calls and stays with the patient standing in front of her.
