The problem we solve: Clinics use postcards/emails/calls/texts to remind patients to schedule preventive care. 1 in 100 patients responds. This is because such reminders require patients to call back the clinic to schedule visit. Patients are busy, hate waiting on phone, and forget to call, resulting in anemic response.
About our solution: 1 in 3 patients responds to SimplifiMed. SimplifiMed chatbot is integrated with major EHRs and works in background to nudge patients to schedule preventive care and help them book the visit in under 60 seconds-24/7.
Progress to date:We have a fully developed product that went live in Jul 2017. We are partner with Epic and Athenahealth and currently working on partnerships with GE and Allscripts.

Thank You
The reason you did not get preventive services (vaccination, annuals, etc) is because you got notified in the following two ways:
1. A postcard in your mail, asking you to call the clinic during normal business hours to schedule the visit. Because you are a busy person, you forget to call the clinic. Even when you call, you hang up after waiting 15 minutes on phone.
2. An email that your doctor has sent you a "secure message". You never check the secure message because like rest 93% Americans, you find patient portals very difficult.
Now imagine, if you get an SMS notification from your child's doctor, informing you that it's time to get flu shot and asking you if you would like your child to get one at their clinic. If you answer yes, it immediately shows you available appointments and you are done booking an appointment under 30 seconds. Moreover, because it is SMS, you don't need to respond immediately. You can respond to it later in the evening after you have discussed with your spouse. No need to call the clinic during normal office hours, wait on the phone, or spell your name one letter at a time.
Now imagine that you can book an appointment or request a medication refill, the same way. By texting to your clinic 24/7. Without downloading an app or entering a password.
Thats what SimplifiMed does. Just help you connect with the clinic so that you can get the care you need hassel-free.
A terrific example of a tool that usefully offloads routine from clinicians--doctors and nurses--who no longer need to prompt patients and parents to do the right thing for their care and disease prevention.
An innovative and simple solution that helps doctors to see more of their patients and make more money, all while providing great value to their patients.
Good to see a Blueprint Health company on MedStartr - Good luck Chinmay!
