How does Axel Encounter work?

Axel Encounter's self check-in and payment solutions reduce the stress and rush faced by healthcare professionals and provide patients with a smooth and pleasant patient experience.

Patients use a self-service kiosk for checking in, but they can also use the kiosk for many other purposes, for example, to check and update their contact information, fill out medical questionnaires, ask for help, and even make payments with an attached payment terminal. After the check-in, the patient gets a printout that contains the appointment details, a visit or queue number, and guidance to the correct waiting lobby.

Axel delights young patients with avatars, playful and colorful virtual characters. Avatars offer guidance and information to young patients and they also play a key role when the staff calls patients in.

Patients can also use the Axel mobile web application to check into their appointment or to enroll in a queue. If they check in using strong identification, they also have the option to pay for their reservations. The application guides the patients throughout their visit. Using the application is simple – it works on the mobile phone's web browser, so there's no need to download a separate mobile app.

Healthcare professionals have their own view for real-time monitoring of patient flows. They can see the appointment list of the day at a glance and call patients in with just one mouse click. The call in details are displayed on the info displays and door displays of the waiting lobby. Axel reacts to changing situations in real time keeping the guidance and appointment details always up to date.
