  • Smarter, autonomous GP triage with Rapid Health, find out more at https://rapidhealth.ai

    Traditional online consultation systems, even AI-enhanced ones, still require staff to review and respond to patient requests. Smart Triage offers a new and distinct capability - autonomously assessing, navigating, and responding to patients online, eliminating the need for clinical or administrative staff input.

    Smart Triage revolutionises the process, even allowing patients to instantly book clinically appropriate (right clinician) and clinically prioritised (right time) appointments, immediately after their online assessment, without delay. This means less patient waiting and delays to care, and more time for care navigators and clinicians to focus on what really matters - delivering great care.
