Abstract

Approximately 5% of patients miss their appointments each year due to a variety of reasons. This is mainly due to some patients being physically unable to visit their GP, be it mobility issues or having communicable diseases, or others simply forgetting their appointment times due to their busy schedules.

Our WhatsApp connector will allow NHS to send reminder messages alongside existing SMS messages to remind patients of their appointments. Our WebEx connector will provide another avenue for the NHS to set up online meetings for patients who are physically unable to attend. A connector is an API wrapper that can be used in custom Power Apps. Power Apps is a rapid development environment to build custom apps for a business which use connectors.

Our connectors and Power platform will create a streamlined solution to reduce the 5% of patients that miss their appointments per year. The scalability, no-code philosophy of power platform, along with seamless integration with the NHS’ N365 ecosystem will allow for faster development of Power Apps than with a native environment. Our connectors will supplement this convenience. Additionally, the reusability of connectors means that all businesses can utilise our connectors for their apps.

Key Features


Feature Description
Send Messages from Power App to WhatsApp Number (WhatsApp) This is the main goal of the WhatsApp connector. Using a Power App which can call a flow which in turn can send a message
Send Meeting Links from Power App to Email (WebEx) This is the main goal of the WebEx connector. Using a Power App which can call a flow which in turn can send a meeting link to a registered email address
Documentation which walks through how the connector can be used Documentation is something that is part of the connector submission It helps end-users and other developers who want to use our connectors understand how they work and their potential limitations. Documentation can include things such as main features, links to the API used etc.
Sample Power App and Template to support Documentation These are features which will support our documentation. Creating a sample Power App that utilises the connectors provides an example for other developers of how it can be used. A Template is a premade Flow which uses the connectors which can make using the connector easier as an implemetation of it is provided.
