01 · The problem
What problem does it solve?
A multi-doctor clinic books by phone and a paper register, and takes walk-ins on top. Patients arrive at 10 for a 1 pm turn because they don’t know how the queue is moving.
Reception spends the day answering “how long?”, the waiting room overflows, and patients who step out miss their turn.
Crowded waiting rooms
Uncomfortable for patients, risky for infections.
Busy reception
Phones ring all day with the same question.
No-shows
Empty slots that nobody else could book.
Missed turns
Patients who step out lose their place.
