It is not uncommon for appointments to be scheduled months in advance. Lobbie is the first organization to allow patients to opt-in for earlier appointments automatically. When an appointment is cancelled by a patient, a front desk may open the appointment up to patients who have opted into this feature. The patients will receive email offers notifying them of the earlier availability. This keeps the practice's schedule full and the patients happy and well-cared for.
Ever filled out the same job application template thirty different times? Patients often experience the exact same issue when seeking care. Lobbie has begun careful construction of a blockchain ledge for aggregating patient form data to expedite the completion of any form with fields that have already been completed by that patient. The data is owned by the patient, and the patient controls who has access to their ledger.

Clinic ratings are inversely correlated with patient wait time as shown in the figure [1]. If a patient waits for more than 15 minutes in the waiting room (or in their car in the case of remote check-in) your clinic is at growing risk of a negative review from that patient. In addition to alerting your front desk of when this occurs, Lobbie provides patients with all the tools necessary to expedite the check-in process. This includes digital forms sent to the patient at the time of appointment creation, appointment notifications, and self-check-in. We also notify the practitioner if they are late to see the patient.
There are clear trends showing when a patient is scheduled and their propensity to actually show up to an appointment. In the era of AI, we have successfully constructed a model that forecasts the probability of patients showing up to their appointment, based on de-identified data such as past punctuality, practice location, and global patient behaviors. Lobbie is integrating this for patients and front desks to optimize the process for both.
Patient data should be able to be moved safely and easily between systems within a practice. Lobbie features multiple integrations with EMR’s such as AdvancedMD and Athena Health, so all your systems are in sync. As a patient, I expect to be able to see my medical records and any forms I have completed. As a practitioner, I expect to see my patient appointments and data easily on all my platforms. With Lobbie, you can.
