How does it work?
iPLATO’s Engagement Hub is generally commissioned by central or regional stakeholders, such as a cancer screening team or a digital-first health checks unit.
This includes:
A central system for managing patient campaigns (the Hub)
Connectors to enable data sharing with GP practices (the Spokes)
Message credits for SMS
Integration partners
Direct integration with the accredited GP Clinical Principal System providers using NHS-assured API’s.
The Engagement Hub can be used for automated clinical engagement such as appointment reminders, invitation messages, and bespoke health promotion campaigns, which could also include Patient Questionnaires.
