SMS as a link between doctor’s office and patient
Patients’ e-mail inboxes are often overcrowded with advertising and SPAM mails. However, SMS messages are rarely received and therefore read within 5 seconds. Especially in sectors where dialogue is difficult, SMS can be used sensibly and cost-effectively to improve communication channels and increase patient satisfaction.
