Does a clinic app reduce patient no-shows?

Automatic reminders are the mechanism. WhatsApp reminders outperform SMS in the Egyptian and Gulf markets, and reminder timing is built as a configurable setting so it can be tuned against the clinic's own data.

Do we need separate iOS and Android apps?

Both platforms are built from a single React Native codebase, so there is no double cost. Some clinics start with a mobile web booking page and add native apps once the flow is proven.

Who owns the patient data in a custom clinic app?

The clinic owns it. Source code and database are handed over, and the clinic chooses whether they run on its own servers or on managed cloud hosting.

Can the app integrate with our existing clinic system?

Yes if the existing system exposes an API. If it does not, the existing patient list can be imported and the app run alongside, or the system replaced with a custom ERP build.

Clinic App & Medical Appointment Booking

Patients book themselves, reminders cut no-shows, and your patient records stay yours

App Development

Clinic App

A booking app for a single clinic starts at about EGP 165,000 (~$3,000) and takes 8 to 10 weeks. The reception phone rings all day, the appointment book is on paper, and a fifth of booked patients never arrive. A clinic app fixes all three: patients book and reschedule themselves, automatic reminders reduce no-shows, and every record sits in a database you own rather than on a booking platform that also lists your competitors.

What patients get

Self-service booking

Live availability by doctor and clinic, booking in a few taps, and rescheduling without a phone call.

Automatic reminders

WhatsApp and push reminders before the appointment. This is the single feature that moves no-show rates.

Patient records

Visit history, prescriptions, lab results and attachments, available to the doctor on the day and searchable later.

Teleconsultation

Video consultations with in-app payment, for follow-ups that do not need the patient to travel.

Online payment

Card and wallet payment through Paymob, Fawry or MyFatoorah, with deposits to hold a slot if you want them.

Clinic dashboard

Bookings per doctor, no-show rate, revenue per service and the busiest hours of your week.

Why your own app instead of a booking platform

	General booking platform	Your own app
Your brand	Your page sits next to your competitors	An app carrying only your clinic's name
Patient data	Owned by the platform and marketed against	Yours entirely, on your servers
Cost	Commission or a subscription that climbs	A one-time investment
Features	Only what the platform offers everyone	Whatever your clinic actually needs

Patient privacy is a build requirement, not an afterthought

Encryption in transit and at rest for every record, with database-level encryption on the fields that identify a patient.
Role-based access: reception sees the schedule, the doctor sees the file, and the two are not the same permission.
Audit logging on every record opened, so you can answer who looked at what and when.
Data residency you choose: your own servers or managed cloud in a region you nominate, with daily backups.
Penetration tested before launch by our own security team, with the report handed to you.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a clinic booking app cost in Egypt?

A core booking app for one clinic starts at about EGP 165,000 (roughly $3,000) and takes 8 to 10 weeks. Adding patient records and teleconsultation puts it in the EGP 250,000 to 440,000 range over 10 to 16 weeks.

Will it actually reduce no-shows?

Automatic reminders are the mechanism that does it, and WhatsApp reminders outperform SMS in this market because people read them. We build reminder timing as a setting so you can tune it against your own data rather than guessing once.

Do we need both iOS and Android?

Usually yes, and we build both from one React Native codebase so you are not paying twice. Some clinics start with a mobile web booking page and add the apps once the flow is proven.

Can it connect to the clinic system we already use?

If your current system has an API, yes. If it does not, we can still import your existing patient list and run the app alongside, or replace the system entirely with an ERP build.

Who owns the patient data?

You do. The code and the database are handed over, and you choose whether they sit on your servers or on managed cloud we run for you.
