Hospital queue software for Indian OPDs

Waiting rooms are where hospitals lose the most time. We give it back.

Live Queue • Smart ETA • Less Waiting

Reception, doctors and patients see the same live queue — no paper tokens, no shouting names, no guessing the wait. Works in the browser. Set up in an afternoon.

Now onboarding founding hospitals — setup support included, no case-study theatre.

The old way

Paper tokens were not built for a busy OPD

Most clinics still run the floor on slips, a shouted name, or a WhatsApp guess. It holds — until the waiting room fills and every patient asks the same question.

Reception

No visibility into doctor pace

Tokens go out without knowing whether a doctor is running behind. Reception becomes an information desk instead of a registration desk.

Doctor

Interruptions break the rhythm

Staff walk in with the next file. The doctor looks up. Minutes leak out of every consultation.

Patient

Waiting rooms overcrowd

With no honest wait estimate, people arrive early and stay put. Benches fill for no clinical reason.

Product

One queue. Four screens. Always in sync.

Each role sees only what it needs. Every change — next patient, pause, emergency — shows up everywhere else within seconds.

Open the real product — not a video mock

This is a shared sandbox hospital. Anyone on the internet can use it, so treat it as throwaway data. Do not enter a real patient’s name.

Hospital codedemo-hospital-6rf
Manager PIN9016
  1. Log in to the manager account with the hospital code and manager PIN.
  2. Create a doctor and a reception user. Note the username and PIN issued for each.
  3. Log in to Reception with that reception username and PIN.
  4. Book the patient with their mobile number. A token is issued and appears on every login — reception, doctor, patient, manager.
  5. The patient logs in with that same mobile number and sees their token and estimated wait.

Sandbox gets messy. If doctors vanish or PINs change, write to us — we reset it. This is not a customer hospital.

What changes on the floor

Paper versus Smart Queue

No invented hospital logos. This is the operational difference a medical superintendent can evaluate on a demo call.

On the floor Paper token / shouting Smart Queue
Who is being seen A slip, a whiteboard, or whoever is nearest the door Same live token on reception, doctor and patient screens
Wait time “Five minutes” said all morning Estimate updates as the doctor moves the queue
Emergency case Staff argue, list is rewritten, other patients get angry Priority bump — positions behind stay intact
Doctor on break Queue silently freezes. Patients assume neglect Pause is visible. The wait estimate tells the truth
IT lift None — and that is why it survives Browser only. No install. No HIS rip-and-replace required to start
Built for OPDs

What a busy floor actually needs

01

Real-time sync

A token move on the doctor screen is on the patient’s phone in seconds.

02

Emergency priority

Bring a critical patient forward without resetting everyone else.

03

Multi-doctor queues

Each doctor and department runs an independent live list under one hospital account.

04

No installation

Reception PCs, doctor tablets and patient phones — a link is enough.

05

Break and pause

Lunch, procedure, emergency — patients see a delay notice instead of a dead board.

06

PIN access

Reception and doctor screens are locked by a hospital PIN verified on the server.

Go-live

From empty account to first patient token

Designed so a manager and one receptionist can do this without an IT vendor on site.

Step 1 · ~2 min

Hospital account

You receive a hospital code and separate PINs for reception, doctors and the manager.

Step 2 · ~3 min

Add doctors

Manager adds each doctor. Every name gets its own live queue from that moment.

Step 3 · ~1 min

Issue token 001

Reception registers one patient. The doctor screen and patient link update immediately.

Security & data

Your hospital’s queue stays your hospital’s queue

We do not put other hospitals’ logos on this page. We also do not mix hospitals’ data. Isolation is enforced in the database, not only in the interface.

Hospital-by-hospital isolation

Patients, doctors and tokens for Hospital A cannot be read as Hospital B — including by accident in a shared login mistake.

Role-based views

Reception, doctor, manager and patient each receive only the surface their job requires.

Server-checked PINs

Staff PINs are verified on the server. They are not stored as a sticky note inside the browser app.

Encrypted in transit

Every session runs over HTTPS. Data is encrypted on the wire from the screen to the server.

Built on PostgreSQL with Row Level Security. Isolation is a database rule, not a front-end promise. Full write-up on the security page. We do not claim ISO, HIPAA or DPDP certification we do not hold. The product is designed so Indian hospitals can evaluate data handling before a rollout.

Talk to us

Prices exclude 18% GST. Annual billing is ten months. Limits are enforced on the hospital record — they are not honour-system labels.

Founding programme

Early OPDs still on paper tokens get setup support and a direct line — in exchange for honest floor feedback. Opening terms are confirmed on the demo. We do not publish invented client marks.

Questions a careful hospital actually asks

Do we have to replace our HIS or billing software?

No. Smart Queue is the waiting-room layer. You can start with registration and tokens only. Integration is a later conversation, not a precondition.

Where does patient data sit?

Each hospital is isolated at the database layer. We store what the queue needs — identity for the token, doctor assignment, timestamps. Details are on the security page.

What if the internet drops?

The product is live-cloud. A brief drop pauses live updates; reception can continue issuing on reconnection. For a floor that cannot accept that, say so on the demo — we will be direct about fit.

Will patients need an app?

No. Patient view is a browser link. They sign in with the hospital code and the mobile number reception used when booking them — nothing to download.

Can we see it before we pay?

Yes. The four product links above are the real screens. A demo walks your own OPD flow — typically 15 minutes — with no commitment.

Who supports us after go-live?

You write to hello@smarthospitalqueue.com or WhatsApp the same team that sets you up. Early hospitals are not handed to an anonymous ticket queue.

Walk the product on your OPD flow

Reception, doctor, patient, manager — about 15 minutes. Bring the person who owns the waiting room, not only IT.
