Automating the patient appointment journey

Trusted AI technology to power a more efficient healthcare system

At OTUA, we make the process of booking healthcare appointments easy and accessible for all.

Our automated digital and telephone platform OTTO uses AI technology to improve the patient journey, streamline communication and enhance productivity across healthcare organisations, helping the NHS tackle waiting lists faster.

By reducing the administrative burden on booking teams, we free up valuable time, money and resources that can be reinvested into frontline patient care.

“OTTO is transforming the way patients interact with our services, improving their booking experience and helping us deliver care more efficiently and effectively.”
