More booked patients. Fewer no-shows.

Practices, clinics, and elective providers use VartAI to handle scheduling, intake, and reminders so the front desk can focus on patients in the waiting room.

The reminder cadence that actually works

Three nudges. One reply needed.

T − 7 days
Save-the-date

Confirms the slot and lets patients reschedule with one tap if life happened.

T − 24 hours
Prep + intake

Sends intake forms, parking info, and what to bring. Replies handled automatically.

T − 2 hours
Final nudge

Short reminder with directions. Replies route to staff if anything's off.

Where it shines

The four jobs your front desk wants off their plate

Scheduling

Books and reschedules across providers, locations, and visit types.

Intake & forms

Sends and collects forms so patients arrive ready, not waiting.

Reminders & recall

Cuts no-shows and re-engages overdue patients with consented messages.

Quiet handoffs

Clinical questions go to staff — never answered by the assistant.

Privacy-aware by default.

We avoid PHI in outbound messages, capture consent on every channel, and keep clinical questions off the assistant. BAA available on enterprise plans.
