Patient Retention by 32%
Through Automated Patient Engagement

About the Brand & the Challenge
Healthcare Plus Clinic is a multi-specialty healthcare provider offering primary care, specialist consultations, preventive health screenings, diagnostics, and wellness programs.
Despite a growing patient database, the clinic relied on manual follow-ups with no structured automation, so many patients failed to return for annual checkups, screenings, and follow-up consultations.

4 Pillars Behind the Campaign
Appointment Reminders
Strategically timed reminders before appointments reduced missed visits.
Educational Newsletters
Content on heart health, diabetes prevention, and wellness kept patients engaged.
Preventive Screening Campaigns
Patients inactive for 12+ months were nudged toward annual checkups and screenings.
Post-Visit Follow-Up
Automated follow-ups after visits improved communication and ongoing engagement.
