Appointment confirmations, done before the front desk opens.

A specialist’s schedule is booked weeks out, and every unconfirmed slot is a coin toss the day before. BonEcho builds Remi into the booking system your clinic already runs, so confirmations stop being a job your coordinators squeeze between patients.

The situation

What confirming by phone costs a clinic.

The old way is one coordinator, one phone and a list: dial, leave a voicemail, call back, write it down, then do it all again for everyone who did not pick up.

It runs in the gaps.

Confirmations happen between the patients standing at the desk, so they are late on busy days, which are the days they matter most.

Cancellations arrive too late to use.

A patient who tells you on the morning of the visit leaves a chair empty. Told five days ahead, you can fill it.

A wrong message is a clinical liability.

Anything a machine says to a patient carries your practice’s name. It has to stay on the schedule and hand everything else to a person.

A morning at a clinic with Remi

What the day looks like with the agent in it.

The agent does the routine and records what happened. The moment that needs a person is marked.

  1. Remi

    Sends Thursday’s patients a confirmation text and email.

  2. Remi

    A patient replies “Yes, see you Thursday.” The visit is marked confirmed.

  3. Remi

    Another patient can’t make it. The front desk is told while the slot can still be filled.

  4. Front desk

    Offers the opening to a patient on the waiting list.

The rules

Who gets told, and when.

These rules are written into Remi itself, so they apply to every text, email and call. Your clinic sets the wording and the hours.

Nothing clinical, ever.

Remi speaks about when and where. Any question about care, results or medication goes to your staff.

Cancellations go to the desk at once.

When a patient can’t attend, the front desk is told while the slot can still be offered to someone else.

One answer ends it.

Once a patient replies, outreach for that visit stops. Nobody is chased after they have answered.

Unreachable patients come back to you.

A patient who has not answered close to the visit is passed to the front desk with every attempt listed.

Remi: appointment confirmations for clinics

Remi works from the schedule your clinic already produces and follows your own scripts, calling hours and escalation rules.

How Remi works
Healthcare questions

What owners ask before they book.

How do clinics reduce last-minute cancellations?

Confirm early and make it easy to say no. At the ENT clinic, 102 patients told Remi they could not attend in time for the slot to be rebooked, and in September cancellations arrived a median of five days before the visit.

Can an AI agent confirm patient appointments?

Yes, for the confirmation itself. Over 30 days at a four-physician ENT clinic, Remi confirmed 833 of 901 appointments by text and call, 92% of the total. The front desk confirmed the other 68 and handled every question about care.

Do we have to change our booking system?

No. Remi reads your schedule and writes each answer back to it, so your booking system stays the record and nothing is re-keyed.

Where does patient data sit?

On your clinic’s own systems, or on infrastructure BonEcho runs for you, depending on the scope of the engagement. Which one is settled before anything is built.
