The HealthEngine Apple Watch app allows patients to search for a nearby appointment from their wrist.
Once an appointment is found, the patient will then use Handoff to finalise the booking via their mobile.
The app also allows the patient to manage their bookings, check‐in to their appointment when arriving
at the practice and even receive driving directions.
Dr Marcus Tan, HealthEngine CEO and Medical Director, said the Apple Watch app is just one of the
ways HealthEngine is making healthcare more accessible for patients and improving the overall
healthcare experience.
“Patients want convenience and ease. Our goal is to make finding and booking an appointment easier
and more transparent. With over 40 per cent of our bookings made between 9pm and 2am¹ we know that patients need access
to book any time, day and night. HealthEngine now makes this possible by offering online bookings on
almost any device.”
Darius Wey, HealthEngine’s Head of Core Product, said 70% of HealthEngine’s customers use a mobile
device² to find and book their health appointments and many are multi-device users. “The release of the Apple Watch app demonstrates we’re committed to leading innovation in the online
health industry and driving a mobile first strategy.”
The Apple Watch app follows on from recent iOS app updates including the ability to check‐in to the
practice via the HealthEngine app and the “favourite a practice” feature for one tap searching.
