Follow-up Agent

Missed appointments cost businesses revenue, disrupt schedules, and create unnecessary inefficiencies. The reason? Traditional reminder systems are outdated, impersonal, and ineffective.

Most businesses rely on a basic, one-size-fits-all reminder system that does not actually influence patient behavior. A single text message the day before does not create urgency, rescheduling is often inconvenient, and patients do not feel personally committed to their appointments. This leads to last-minute cancellations and no-shows, leaving businesses with empty slots and lost revenue.

Nexara’s AI-powered Follow-Up Agent solves this by making follow-ups smarter, more personal, and more effective.

 

Why Traditional Follow-Ups Fail

  • One reminder is not enough – People are busy and constantly bombarded with notifications. A single SMS the day before an appointment is too easy to overlook.

 

  • Rescheduling is a hassle – Many patients realize they cannot make their appointment but find it too inconvenient to reschedule, so they simply skip it.

 

  • Generic messages get ignored – Standard reminders like "Your appointment is tomorrow at 3 PM" do not create a sense of obligation or importance.

 

  • No follow-up on no-shows – If a patient misses an appointment, most businesses do not have a system in place to recover that lost booking.

 

How Nexara Fixes It

  • Omnichannel Communication – Instead of just sending one reminder, Nexara engages patients across multiple channels, including AI-powered calls, SMS, and automated rescheduling, ensuring they stay engaged and committed.

 

  • Perfect Memory – Nexara remembers each patient’s history, previous interactions, and appointment details. When it follows up, it speaks naturally, making reminders feel personal instead of automated.

 

  • Multiple Follow-Ups at Key Moments – Nexara reinforces commitment by reaching out immediately after booking, 48 hours before, 24 hours before (with a call if needed), and 3 hours before.

 

  • Effortless Rescheduling – Every message includes a one-click rescheduling link, allowing patients to adjust their appointment instantly without needing to call.

 

  • No-Show Recovery – If a patient misses an appointment, Nexara automatically follows up to get them rebooked, reducing lost revenue.

 

The Results

By combining smart automation, real engagement, and easy scheduling, Nexara reduces no-shows by 15-25% and ensures your schedule stays full without adding extra work for your team.

If your business depends on scheduled appointments, you need more than just reminders—you need a system that actually gets people to show up.
