The honest answer depends on your clinic, so here is how to work it out rather than a promise.
Work out your own break-even
- Missed follow-ups. How many patients given a follow-up date last month did not come back? Multiply by your follow-up fee.
- No-shows. How many booked patients did not turn up? Multiply by your consultation fee.
- Time. How long do you and your staff spend each day on registers, looking up old records and writing prescriptions by hand?
- Compare. If recovering even a small share of those visits is worth more than the monthly price, the software pays for itself.
You can find Vaidya OS's price on the pricing page.
Where software actually helps a solo clinic
- Follow-ups that go out on their own. Set a follow-up date and, on a paid plan, the patient gets a WhatsApp reminder the day before and on the morning of the date.
- Records you can find. Search a name or phone number and the visit history and prescriptions are there.
- Faster prescriptions. Save the medicine lists you write most often and reuse them.
- A queue that runs itself. Patients check in by QR code and get a token.
How to test it in your own clinic
- Before you start: note last month's missed follow-ups and no-shows from your register.
- During the 14-day trial: run the QR check-in, the queue, records and prescriptions with real patients, and see how much register work disappears. Automatic WhatsApp reminders do not run in the trial.
- In your first paid month: switch WhatsApp reminders on, then compare returning patients and no-shows with the month before.
When it may not be worth it yet
If you see only a handful of patients a day and few of them need follow-ups, a paper register may still be enough. The case gets stronger as volume and chronic care grow.
