Dataphiles and Infobip take patient comms to new heights by evolving channel partnership
The launch of a new Patient Portal and website chatbot sees Dataphiles use Infobip’s entire SaaS portfolio to innovate digital communications
London, UK: February 2022 – Software solutions company Dataphiles has today announced the expansion of its partnership with global cloud communications provider Infobip, utilising its entire SaaS portfolio to provide revolutionary patient experiences across channels including LiveChat, SMS and email. This incorporates the launch of a new Patient Portal via Dataphiles’ subsidiary company PatientComms, enabling dental practices to manage bookings, payments, check-in, form-filling and many other interactions via a plethora of digital channels.
The COVID-19 pandemic has driven years of change in the way companies in all sectors and regions do business – no more so than in healthcare where the reliance on face-to-face communications and appointments has reduced significantly. Expanding on the virtual waiting room that was launched by PatientComms and Infobip at the beginning of the pandemic, the new portal takes a market-leading approach to patient communications using Infobip’s entire SaaS portfolio to streamline patient communications.
Beyond the use of SMS and email, Infobip’s chatbot-building solution Answers is also being used to enable dental practices to communicate with customers via sophisticated automation. Inbound enquires on dental treatments, practice information and opening hours, for example, can all be managed via a chatbot on the dentist practice’s website, then handed to a customer service representative when needed. This brings a new level of speed and availability to customer service, ensuring patients have access to more straightforward information without having to call or visit the practice.
“We were really impressed with the service provided by Infobip when launching our Virtual Waiting Room in 2020. So, as we looked to evolve our channel portfolio and elevate digital patient communications in tandem with the “new normal”, there was no doubt that we could rely on Infobip’s expertise and far-reaching range of programmable channels to make this a reality. My vision is to expand the service even further, with the ability for customers to book appointments directly via LiveChat and for practices to offer virtual, AI-powered dental exams from the comfort of a customer’s home.”
Kieran Bentham, Managing Director, Dataphiles
Aleksander Daic, Regional Head of Partnerships at Infobip said: “Consumer behaviour has changed indefinitely, and businesses need to continue to innovate and transform to not just meet but exceed these high demands. The new Patient Portal goes far beyond simple booking requests. Utilising our entire SaaS portfolio, Dataphiles can manage digital communications across a plethora of channels, while using our chatbot-building platform to automate more simple customer service requests and ensure dental practices can run as efficiently as possible. We’re excited to continue this brilliant partnership.”
