Our position

Why we build for healthcare

Most practices we work with are not looking for a hospital information system. They want patients to find them, book without phoning, turn up on the day, and pay without a fight with the medical aid. That is what we build. We start with the website and online booking, because that is where the money is, and add the back-office pieces only when they are actually costing you.

Regulations we design against

  • Protection of Personal Information Act 4 of 2013 (POPIA)
  • National Health Act 61 of 2003
  • HPCSA guidelines on advertising, telemedicine and record-keeping
  • Medical Schemes Act 131 of 1998
  • WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility conformance

Challenges

What people in this sector actually raise

These are the problems that come up in a first meeting, with the cost of leaving each one unaddressed.

  • 01

    Patients cannot find you online

    Someone searches "dentist near me" at nine at night. If your practice does not come up, or the site will not load on their phone, they book the practice that does.

    New-patient enquiries going to whoever ranks above you
  • 02

    Bookings still go through the phone

    Reception is on the phone all morning taking appointments, and every call that comes in while they are busy is a patient who gave up.

    Lost bookings, and a receptionist who cannot do anything else
  • 03

    No-shows

    Appointments booked weeks ahead with nothing to remind the patient, so the slot is empty and nobody could fill it.

    15–25% of slots lost in a typical practice
  • 04

    Medical aid claims coming back rejected

    Codes and authorisations checked by hand, with mistakes only surfacing weeks later when the money does not arrive.

    8–15% of claims rejected on first submission
  • 05

    Admin eating clinical time

    Notes, referrals, scripts and authorisations done after hours because there was no time between patients.

    Two to three hours a day that should have been yours

What we build

Systems for healthcare operations

  • A practice website that gets found

    Fast, mobile-first, and set up properly for local search so you appear when someone nearby is looking for what you do.

  • Online booking

    Patients book real available slots themselves, day or night, straight into your existing diary. Reception stops being a switchboard.

  • WhatsApp and SMS reminders

    Automatic reminders before the appointment, with an easy way to reschedule so a cancellation becomes a slot somebody else can take.

  • Claims checked before submission

    Codes and authorisations validated at capture rather than discovered weeks later when the payment is short.

  • Practice branding

    Signage, stationery, and a look that matches the standard of care you actually give. Patients judge on this, fairly or not.

  • Patient records and referrals

    Where you need it, a tidy record that talks to your labs and referral network through the standards they already use.

AI opportunities

Where AI genuinely pays in this sector

Ranked by how proven the approach is. We are explicit about what is experimental, because deploying an experiment as though it were proven is how AI programmes lose credibility.

  • Consultation notes drafted for you

    proven

    The conversation is transcribed and a draft note prepared for you to check and sign. It never files anything on its own.

    Typical return45–70 minutes back per clinical day
  • Claim rejection warnings

    proven

    Flags a claim likely to bounce before you submit it, and tells you which part is the problem.

    Typical return50–65% fewer first-round rejections
  • After-hours enquiry assistant

    proven

    Answers the routine questions — hours, location, what you treat, whether you take a scheme — and takes a booking or a callback request.

    Typical returnEnquiries captured instead of lost overnight
  • Busy-period forecasting

    emerging

    Predicts your quiet and busy weeks so staffing and leave can be planned rather than guessed.

    Typical return10–18% better use of staffed hours

Questions

Healthcare — common questions

The questions we are asked most often by operators in this sector.

  • We are a two-doctor practice. Is this overkill?
    No. A good website with online booking and automatic reminders is the single highest-return thing a small practice can do, and it is a modest project. You do not need the rest of it unless something is genuinely costing you.
  • Will it work with the practice management system we already have?
    Usually. Most South African practice systems expose a way in, and we would rather connect to what you have than ask you to change something your staff already know.
  • Is patient information safe?
    Yes. Patient data stays on infrastructure you control or in South Africa, access is logged, and nothing is sent to an AI provider unless you explicitly choose it. HPCSA and POPIA obligations are designed in from the start.
  • Does the AI diagnose anything?
    No, and it never will. It drafts notes for you to check and flags claims that look likely to bounce. Every clinical decision stays with the clinician.
