- QueueDr
Led · Equity · Sep 2016
QueueDr provides a software platform that connects to doctors’ existing scheduling systems and texts patients to fill last-minute cancellations. Its algorithm identifies similar patients and texts a handful; the first responder is slotted, producing an 80% cancellation fill rate. The company works with private practitioners and specialists, including dentists and therapists, and integrates with partners such as Allscripts, athena, CareCloud, drchrono, and Greenway. QueueDr says it has quadrupled its number of patients in the last three months and increased revenue tenfold over the last year. The three-year-old company recently moved to Norwalk, Connecticut from San Francisco. Management plans to scale the business, build new features, and explore telehealth opportunities to address no-shows in addition to cancellations.
