Challenge

Patients booked physio in five steps and a third of them gave up on the time picker. Clinics filled the gaps by phone, which meant the front desk spent its mornings on hold music.

Approach

I sat in on twelve front-desk shifts, cut the flow to three screens and rebuilt the time picker around the week instead of the month. I wrote the slot picker myself in React so the motion in production matched the prototype.

Outcome

Booking takes half as long, no-shows fell 18% in the first quarter and the front desk takes about forty fewer calls a day.
