Why is Finding the Right Doctor Difficult? The Limits of Traditional Methods
Choosing the right doctor is the most critical step in a patient's health journey. However, traditional methods often make this process complicated and time-consuming. Issues like calling appointment centers, long wait times, incomplete information, and the lack of objective data on which doctor is better in their field negatively impact the patient experience. Simple lists on websites often fail to provide important comparison metrics such as doctors' areas of expertise or patient satisfaction scores.

Palmate AI is an AI-powered hospital doctor appointment comparison chatbot solution designed to eliminate these challenges. It offers your patients a data-driven, fast, and user-friendly experience to easily find the most suitable doctor for their needs. Your patients no longer have to wait on the phone or make decisions with insufficient information to make the best choice.
Save Your Time: 24/7 Instant Comparison and Appointments
Palmate serves your patients even outside of business hours. Whether it's the middle of the night or the weekend, your patients can compare doctors and book their appointments instantly at any time. This significantly reduces the load on your call center while greatly increasing patient satisfaction.
Data-Driven Objective Decisions: Choose the Best Doctor
Palmate bases the decision-making process on concrete data, not guesswork. By integrating with your hospital's systems (HIS/MHRS), it analyzes critical information such as doctors' areas of expertise, patient scores, reviews, and their earliest availability. This way, it doesn't just present a list to patients but also recommends the most suitable doctor for their needs.
How Does Palmate AI Work? The Step-by-Step Doctor Comparison Process
Palmate's smart chatbot simplifies the doctor comparison and appointment booking process into three simple steps:
1. Understanding the Need
The patient types what they need into the chatbot in natural language. For example, "Who is the best orthopedic doctor for my knee pain?" or "I'm looking for a pediatrician appointment for the weekend."
2. Comparing Criteria and Recommending
The AI analyzes the request and lists the most suitable doctors using data from the system. At this stage, it presents a Doctor Comparison screen based on multiple criteria such as Specialty, Patient Score, availability, and location. The most suitable Recommendation for the patient is made based on data.
3. Confirming the Appointment
The patient selects from the recommended doctors, and the chatbot completes the Appointment process in seconds, sending confirmation details to the patient.
The Difference Between Palmate AI and Traditional Appointment Systems
Unlike its competitors, Palmate is not just an appointment bot; it's an intelligent decision support system. While traditional systems only show you available slots, Palmate provides evidence on 'why' you should choose a particular doctor. This is a key advantage that strengthens patient loyalty and your hospital's digital reputation.
