Patients online
Mobile App (patients and staff)
One installable app at /app — no store account, installed from the browser on Android and iPhone. Who signs in decides what it shows: a patient’s care (book, results, medicines, queue, video, consents, vaccinations, bills, meals, call for help) or a staff member’s day (check-in, duties, swaps, tasks, self-service, indoor location). Push notifications; Arabic and English.
