How Axel Encounter streamlines your daily operations

Axel Encounter’s self check-in solutions and self-service payments eliminate bottlenecks and optimize patient flow management across the clinic. They relieve the administrative rush faced by healthcare professionals while providing patients with a seamless visit from start to finish. 

Interactive kiosks: More than just checking in 

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.

Mobile check-in and digital guidance on the go 

Axel’s mobile check-in solution allows patients to easily check into their appointment or join a queue using their own smartphone. When using strong identification, patients can also securely pay for their visit. The web-based application guides them throughout the entire appointment. It is completely frictionless to use, running directly in the mobile browser with no separate app downloads required.
