In this AppDate, SEAN BACHER highlights Luno’s saving wallet, Ollie Health virtual healthcare, Secure year-end payments with Karri, Apocalypse Survival Training and Deezer’s Flow and Songcatcher widgets.
Ollie Health makes booking appointments with healthcare professionals as easy as possible, all the while keeping social distancing to a maximum. It provides access to a range of healthcare professionals across the country – ranging from general practitioners to dentists, psychologists, chiropractors, physiotherapists. Ollie Health enables users to filter professionals by medical aid as well as find and book virtual appointments within minutes.
“We are currently seeing healthcare professionals jump from using Zoom, Skype, and even WhatsApp video to perform virtual consultations, yet there is an opportunity to create a better experience with Ollie Health,” says Marc Knowles, founder and CEO of Ollie Health. “Video sessions should be simple, not stressful.”
Appointments, sessions, booking reminders, personalised video links, and preferred practitioners can all be managed from one app.
