The cost of a busy line

What is your switchboard dropping?

Every unanswered call is a patient who rings the next hospital on their list. Put your own numbers in — nothing here is a claim of ours.

These are your numbers, not ours — drag them until they match your practice. The maths assumes 26 working days and that only one in three unanswered calls was a patient who would have booked. We keep that deliberately cautious rather than quoting an industry average we cannot stand behind.

Listen

It speaks the way your patients actually speak

Most patients do not talk in one language. They start in Hindi, land a date in English and finish in Telugu. A single-language script loses them at the first sentence.

Hinglish

“Haan ji, kal 4 baje ka slot free hai — book kar doon?”

Tanglish

“Naalaikku evening 6 manikku slot irukku — book pannalaama?”

Tenglish

“Repu morning 10 ki appointment confirm chesanu, sir.”

Kanglish

“Naale afternoon 3 gantege slot ide — book maadla?”

Manglish

“Naale ravile 11 manikku slot free aanu — book cheyyatte?”

English

“Of course — I can fit you in tomorrow at 4 pm.”

What it handles on the call

Every language your patients actually speak

29 languages, 10 of them Indian, and it code-switches mid-sentence the way real people do — Hinglish, Tanglish, Tenglish, Kanglish. Not a menu of separate scripts.

Routes by department

Cardiology, orthopaedics, radiology, billing. The caller says why they are ringing and lands in the right place, or gets booked without being transferred at all.

Books on the right consultant’s calendar

Every doctor connects their own Google Calendar. The agent reads that consultant’s real availability mid-call, books a confirmed slot, and texts the patient.

No queue, ever

Forty callers at 9am are forty simultaneous conversations. Peak-hour volume is not a staffing problem any more.

Sounds like a person, not an IVR

Warm, expressive speech that adapts its tone — nobody presses 1 for anything, and nobody is told their call is important to us.

Answers only from what you gave it

Upload timings, departments, consultants, fees, preparation instructions. It answers from those and says so honestly when a question falls outside them.

Your systems

It does not replace what you already bought

The usual reason a hospital says no to something like this is that they finished a system migration eighteen months ago and will not do another. You do not have to.

Your HIS stays the source of truth

Push patients and prescriptions to us, or let us read them live. Your system keeps its authority — we never become a second record you have to reconcile.

No rip and replace

VaaniYantra sits in front of what you already run. If you bought a hospital system last year, this does not compete with it.

Per-consultant calendars

Each doctor owns their own availability and their own patients. Nobody is booked into somebody else’s clinic.

Export whenever you want

Patients, appointments and call logs export to CSV on demand. Your data is not hostage to staying subscribed.

The technical detail lives in the Integration Guide — hand it to whoever runs your systems.

After the visit

Every patient walks out with your chatbot

Most of the calls your desk takes are not new bookings. They are “what did the doctor prescribe?”, “when do I come back?”, “can I move Thursday?”. Those never need to reach a human.

  • They sign in with their mobile number

    A one-time code, nothing to install and no password to forget. Family members sharing one number each get their own record.

  • They re-read the prescription

    Structured medicine lines — the drug, the dose, the schedule in plain words. Not a photo of a page they cannot read.

  • They ask the follow-up question

    Answered from your knowledge base and their own records, in their own language, without ringing you.

  • They move their own appointment

    Rescheduling stops being a phone call your staff has to take.

Your clinic’s assistant
Hi Ravi 👋 You saw Dr. Rao on 14 July. How can I help?
Meri dawai kitni baar leni hai?
Amoxicillin 500 mg — 1 tablet, twice a day (BD), by mouth, for 5 days, after food.
Next appointment kab hai?
Tuesday, 5 August at 11:00 am with Dr. Rao. Shall I move it?

Illustration of the patient chat. It answers only from records your clinic has filed, and never offers medical advice.

Or they just message you on WhatsApp

Nothing to install and nothing to open. A patient messages your clinic on WhatsApp and asks what they would otherwise ring your desk to ask — timings, departments, fees, which consultant to see, how to prepare for a test — and gets an answer in their own language, drawn from what your clinic has filed.

It answers about your clinic, not about their file — anything personal or clinical becomes an appointment instead. And if what they write sounds urgent, it stops answering and gives them emergency numbers straight away.

Available as a paid add-on, priced separately.

Safety & compliance

The questions your compliance team will ask

Answered here rather than buried in an FAQ, because this is the page you will forward to them.

Emergencies never reach the model

Chest pain, breathlessness, bleeding and self-harm are caught by a deterministic check that runs before the AI does. The caller gets 108 and 112 immediately, and your team is alerted.

It never gives medical advice

By design, not by prompt. It books, it answers logistics. It does not interpret symptoms, suggest medicines, or comment on a report — anything clinical becomes an appointment.

Documents encrypted at rest

Scans and reports you upload are encrypted in the database, under a key that is not stored in it.

Patients verify before they see anything

A patient reaches their own records only after confirming their mobile number with a one-time code. Family members on a shared number each get their own record.

A doctor releases the diagnosis

Prescriptions and advice reach the patient immediately. The diagnosis waits until a clinician chooses to release it — breaking bad news stays a human act.

You set the retention period

Choose how long call recordings and transcripts live, and delete your data whenever you like. Nothing is shared between hospitals.

Getting started

Start with one line, not the whole hospital

No engineers and no migration. Most practices point their after-hours number at it first and widen from there once they have heard it work.

01

Tell us how your front desk works

Departments, consultants, timings, what callers usually want. We turn it into a behaviour your team can read and edit — no engineers involved.

02

Point a number at it

Bring your existing number through Twilio or Exotel. Route the overflow line first if you would rather start small.

03

Watch it on real calls

Every call is transcribed and logged. Start with after-hours only, then widen it once you have heard how it handles your patients.

Built for how your practice runs

Multi-speciality hospitals

Route by department and book across consultants.

Clinics & polyclinics

Diagnostic labs & imaging

Test bookings, preparation, report timing.

₹3.5 a minute. That is the whole price list.

What that means in practice

A booking call runs about two minutes, so it costs roughly ₹7.00 to answer — whether it lands at 2pm or 2am, and whether it is the first call or the fortieth at once. A missed one costs a patient.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost?+

₹3.5 per minute of call time, billed at the end of the month for the minutes your agent actually spent on the phone. There is no monthly fee, no minimum and no plan to choose. If you are planning at scale across several branches or departments, the rate is ₹3.2 per minute — tell us the volume you expect and we will confirm it in writing.

Can we sign up ourselves?+

Not at the moment. We are onboarding clinics one at a time so every setup gets our attention, so accounts are created by invitation. Tell us about your practice on the contact page and we will get you a login.

Do we have to replace our hospital system?+

No, and we would advise against it. VaaniYantra sits on top of your existing practice-management or hospital system. Your system stays the source of truth and pushes patients and prescriptions to us, or we read them live. See the Integration Guide in our docs.

Can it use our existing phone numbers?+

Yes. Connect your own Twilio or Exotel numbers and route inbound calls to the agent. Many hospitals start by pointing only the overflow or after-hours line at it, then widen once they have heard it on real calls.

Does it give medical advice?+

No, and that is deliberate. It books appointments and answers practical questions — timings, departments, fees, consultants, location, test preparation. It never interprets symptoms, never suggests medicines and never comments on a report. Anything clinical becomes an appointment with your doctor.

What happens if a caller is having an emergency?+

A deterministic check runs before the AI model does — it looks for chest pain, breathlessness, severe bleeding, overdose, self-harm and stroke signs, in English and Hindi including transliterated spellings. The caller is told at once to call 108 or 112, and the alert appears in your dashboard. This is a control in code, not an instruction we hope the model follows.

How is patient data protected?+

Scans and reports you upload are encrypted at rest, under a key not stored in the database. A patient reaches their own records only after verifying their mobile number with a one-time code, and a diagnosis stays hidden until a doctor releases it. Your documents, call logs and patients stay in your account and are never shared between hospitals. You can set an automatic retention window for call content, and delete records from the dashboard. Full detail is on our security and privacy pages.

Can each consultant keep their own calendar?+

Yes. Every doctor connects their own Google Calendar and the agent books against that consultant’s real availability. Invite your team from the dashboard and each of them connects their own — nobody gets booked into somebody else’s clinic.

Can you build something specific to our hospital?+

Yes. If you need it tailored end to end — custom workflows, integration with your existing systems, behaviour beyond what the agent does out of the box — write to info@vaaniyantra.com and we will build it with you.
