What Features Can Be Implemented in a Mobile App for a North American Dental Clinic

More and more modern companies are keen to have mobile apps that help them expand their online presence and attract additional clients. A prime example is the RoomRenderAI app, developed by Focus21 for Triforce Construction (read more about it here).

Recently, an increasing number of dental clinics from Canada and the USA have been approaching us to develop their own mobile apps. They see it as an excellent tool for increasing the loyalty of regular clients who will return to them time and again.

Each dental clinic has its own set of wishes for what should be in the mobile app. However, there are certain features that are commonly requested. We have compiled a concise list of what can be implemented within a relatively short timeframe:

• Electronic appointment booking, allowing patients to easily see a specialist without calls and waiting on the line.
• Creation and management of medical records with treatment history, doctor's recommendations, and other information.
• Push notifications with reminders about taking medications and performing oral care procedures.
• Information center with useful data about oral diseases, treatment methods, prevention, and hygiene.
• Online consultations with doctors to discuss issues and problems related to dental and oral health.
• Review and rating system for the clinic and staff, helping the company improve service quality and enhance client loyalty.
• Personal oral health assistant with a toothbrushing tracker, reminders for regular checkups, and dental care tips.
• Engaging elements for children, including educational games and activities to inculcate proper dental care habits.

The design for the entire app and its individual functional sections is developed considering the brand features of each dental clinic without exception. Regional characteristics of where a specific clinic operates, as well as its individual wishes, are also taken into account.

Furthermore, principles of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) and PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) are also considered, which you can read more about here. These regulate the methods of handling client personal information in Canada and the USA.
