Patient engagement software

Patient engagement software that meets people where they already are

Patient engagement software for clinics is patient communication done properly: SMS, WhatsApp and email in one shared inbox attached to every patient record, reminders and campaigns that run on their own, and two-way replies the whole front desk can answer. Capra is built for clinics and private practices rather than health systems, and connects to the record and calendar you already use.

The problem

When every channel is a different tool, patients go quiet

A texting tool here, WhatsApp on someone's phone, email somewhere else. Replies get missed, context gets lost, and the patient who asked a simple question stops asking.

78.6%

Attendance with text reminders, up from 67.8%

In a Cochrane review, attendance rose from 67.8% to 78.6% when patients received a text message reminder, at a lower cost than phone calls.

Replies lost between tools

A reply on one channel is invisible to colleagues working in another, so patients repeat themselves and staff duplicate work.

Consent tracked on paper

When consent, verification and opt-outs live apart from the messaging itself, every new campaign is a compliance risk.

One inbox, every channel

The same conversation, on the channel each patient prefers

Switch channels to see how a reminder, a reply and a confirmation look on SMS, WhatsApp and email, and how every one of them lands on the same record.

Same inbox, same record

Plain text, delivered through Twilio. Patients answer with a word, and the answer updates the appointment.

Patient communication for clinics, not a health-system engagement platform

Most engagement platforms are built for hospital groups: outreach at scale, call-center queues, enterprise contracts. A clinic needs the front desk to answer a WhatsApp from one number, a reminder to go out on its own and a reply to land on the record. Capra is sized for that, from a single clinic to a multi-site group, with a named onboarding lead rather than an implementation project.

  • Built for clinics and private practices, single-site to multi-site
  • Reminders, replies and campaigns from one number per clinic
  • Live within a few days, with a named onboarding lead

Campaigns and reminders that land at the right time

Build and schedule email or SMS campaigns to tags and contact groups, and let automated appointment reminders chase confirmations for you. Rate-limited, timezone-aware delivery keeps everything reliable.

  • Target by contact groups and tags, timezone-aware scheduling
  • Automated multi-channel reminders and bulk CSV import
  • Opens, clicks, bounces and unsubscribes in one view

Security & reliability

Built for healthcare, trusted with patient data

Defence in depth, from the first message to the last record. This is how we operate, not a badge.

Encrypted in transit and at rest

Connections use current TLS with HSTS, and stored data is encrypted with keys managed by our cloud provider.

Least-privilege, role-based access

Permissions come from defined roles, privileged access needs multi-factor authentication, and rights are reviewed regularly.

Monitored and logged

Security-relevant events are recorded, retained and reviewed so unusual activity can be investigated quickly.

Backed up and resilient

Critical data is backed up regularly and protected like production, with processes to restore service after a disruption.

Hosted where you need it

UK clinics are hosted in the UK by default; deployment in other regions, including the UAE, is available on request with the same protections.

Connected to your systems

Capra connects to the record, calendar, accounting, messaging and claims systems you already run; integrations are built with you during onboarding.

FAQ

Questions, answered

What is patient communication software for clinics?

Software that lets a clinic message patients on SMS, WhatsApp and email from one shared inbox, with reminders and campaigns that run automatically and every message on the patient record. It differs from a health-system engagement platform in scale and setup: one clinic number, a front desk that answers, and go-live within a few days.

Which channels does the patient engagement software support?

Capra sends and receives across SMS (powered by Twilio), WhatsApp Business, and email with domain verification and DKIM. Patients reply on whichever channel they prefer, and every message lands in one shared inbox attached to their record.

Can we send bulk outreach campaigns?

Yes. Build and schedule email or SMS campaigns to contact groups and tags, with rate-limited bulk sending and timezone-aware delivery. Engagement analytics track opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes in one view.

Do patients need to install an app to receive messages?

No. Patients receive reminders and messages on the channels they already use, and join video visits straight from a browser link. There's nothing for them to download or set up.

Is patient messaging secure?

Consent tracking, contact verification and suppression lists support careful data handling, and all data is encrypted in transit and at rest with role-based access and full audit logs. Signed agreements are available on request.

Can several team members work the same inbox?

Yes. The shared inbox is built for teams: assign conversations, triage what needs attention, and reply across SMS, WhatsApp and email together, with every message visible on the patient's record.

How are consent and opt-outs handled?

Consent is tracked on the contact, contact details are verified, and suppression lists stop messages reaching anyone who has opted out. Campaign analytics show unsubscribes alongside opens and clicks.

Can we see whether messages were delivered and read?

Yes. Engagement analytics track delivery, opens, clicks and replies for campaigns and reminders, and secure chat shows read receipts, so your team knows what has actually reached each patient.

Does it connect to our EHR?

Yes. Appointments from your EHR or practice management system drive reminders, and conversations are visible from the record, through an integration scoped and built with you during onboarding. Calendars sync from your first days.
