Patients waste a huge amount of time in doctors' waiting rooms for a consultation that lasts 15 to 20 minutes. Doctors have difficulty organising their consultation schedule because they do not have an appointments system. Doctix can solve both of these problems.
Doctix is not only a medical appointment creation platform. Patients can use Doctix to gain access to doctors' CVs, which makes it easier for them to choose the right professional. Patients also have access to feedback from other patients. All these options make Doctix unique in its category.
Doctix is an online medical appointment platform. The patient can use their smartphone or computer to choose the date and time they prefer. The goal is to reduce wait times in clinics and medical practices. The advantage for the doctor is that the platform allows him or her to properly manage the consultation schedule.
