The men behind SchedFull know that businesses lose money when appointments are cancelled or not kept. It's why they designed a software platform that helps confirms things like doctors appointments and reschedule people who cancel.
Thanh Tran, a serial entrepreneur in health-care technology, teamed up with Tashfeen Ekram, a radiologist at Henry Ford Hospital, to create the technology so people would keep doctors' office appointments and reschedule the people who cancel them. They are also trying to work the software platform into other businesses, such as salons.
"We saw potential in other industries, not just health care," says Thanh Tran, operations officer for
SchedFull.
SchedFull is offering its services in a public Beta right now at a $20 monthly subscription rate. Each lost appointment costs a medical office well in excess of $100, so Tran and Ekram see the software creating a significant value. The software currently has a couple dozen Beta users and Tran expects that number to grow as his two-person team continues to build out its software .
"We're looking to get more resources," Tran says. "We're looking for funding."
