How Inform works
HotDoc Inform works by displaying health messages to patients after they have booked an appointment through HotDoc, confirmed an appointment reminder or checked-in online.
The feature allows practices to educate patients on 20+ preventative health services and encourage them to book in for check-ups. Campaigns are set to only target the most relevant patients.
To date, millions of Australians have viewed HotDoc Inform campaigns, triggering thousands of additional appointments.
