Services · Mobile app development · Clinic apps

Clinic apps that let Riyadh patients book, check in and follow up without a phone call.

Codeeo handles clinic app development in Riyadh for polyclinics, specialist centres and dental and dermatology groups across the capital. We build the patient app, the reception and doctor tools and the admin dashboard as one connected product, so a patient in Al Malqa or Olaya can find the right doctor, confirm insurance cover, book a slot and receive results in Arabic or English, while your front desk spends less of the day on hold.

Our Riyadh office puts designers and engineers in the same city as your clinic managers. That makes it practical to sit with receptionists during a busy evening session, watch where bookings stall, and design around how your branches really run. It also means workshops with your doctors can happen in person between clinic sessions.

What a Riyadh clinic app can include

Features built around how Riyadh patients choose and visit a clinic.

Riyadh is a large city where people drive to appointments, often after work, and where many residents now ride the Riyadh Metro for part of the trip. Patients compare clinics by district, doctor, language and insurance network before they commit. A useful app answers those questions on the first screen and then removes the waiting that follows.

The features below are the ones Riyadh clinic owners ask about most. We rarely build all of them in the first release. During discovery we look at your booking data, your no-show pattern and the calls your reception handles, and we pick the few features that will save the most staff time. The rest go on a written roadmap. Every feature is designed Arabic first, with English as a full second language rather than an afterthought, because your patient list in Riyadh will include Saudi families, Arab expatriates and international professionals working in the business districts.

Explain your project
  • Doctor and specialty search

    Patients filter by specialty, branch, gender of doctor, language spoken and next available slot. Doctor profiles show qualifications and the services each clinician offers, written in plain Arabic and English, so a parent looking for a paediatrician in north Riyadh can find one in a few taps instead of calling three branches.

    Patients reach the right doctor before they ever speak to reception.

  • Clinic appointment booking

    Real-time slots pulled from your scheduling system, with evening and weekend sessions clearly marked. Booking, rescheduling and cancelling happen in the app, and freed slots return to the calendar straight away so a waiting patient can take them. Reminders go out at intervals you choose to cut no-shows.

    Fewer empty slots and fewer calls to change a booking.

  • Insurance details and approvals

    Patients add their insurance card once. Your team sees the policy before the visit, and where your clinic system connects to NPHIES, eligibility and prior approval status can be shown to staff so surprises at the desk become rare. Patients paying privately see clear self-pay options instead.

    Insurance questions are settled before the patient arrives.

  • Branch finder for Riyadh districts

    For groups with branches in several districts, the app shows the nearest branch, parking notes, opening hours and which doctors are on duty there today. Directions open in the patient's preferred maps app, which matters in a city where a wrong turn can add a long detour.

    Patients pick the branch that suits their route home or to work.

  • Arrival check-in and queue status

    When a patient reaches the clinic, they check in from the app and see their place in the queue. Reception gets an alert, vitals staff see who is waiting, and the patient can wait in the car or the café rather than a crowded room during peak evening hours.

    Calmer waiting areas and shorter queues at the desk.

  • Video consultations

    Follow-up visits, results discussions and simple reviews can run as video calls inside the app, booked and billed like any other appointment. We build this so only clinicians licensed by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties appear for remote sessions, and the visit note lands in the patient record.

    Routine follow-ups no longer require a drive across the city.

  • Results, prescriptions and reports

    Lab results, radiology reports, sick leave documents and prescriptions released by the doctor appear in the patient's file with a notification. Access is protected by login, and sensitive results can be held until the doctor has discussed them with the patient. Patients can also download documents as PDF files for an employer or a school.

    Patients stop calling to ask whether their results are ready.

  • Family and corporate accounts

    One parent can manage bookings for children and elderly relatives. For Riyadh employers who send staff to your clinic, a company account can hold approved employees and cover rules, which suits clinics with contracts in the King Abdullah Financial District and other office areas. HR contacts see visit counts, never clinical details.

    Households and employers book through one login.

  • Payments and deposits

    Self-pay patients settle consultation fees, procedure deposits and outstanding balances with mada, Apple Pay or a card, inside the booking flow. Receipts and tax invoices sit in the patient file, and refunds for cancelled procedures follow the policy your finance team sets, so nobody has to email a bank transfer slip to reception.

    Payment is collected before the visit instead of at a crowded desk.

  • Reception and doctor dashboard

    Staff see the day's bookings, arrivals, insurance status and no-shows per branch. Managers compare utilisation by doctor and by session, and adjust schedules where evening demand outruns morning demand. Permissions keep each role to the data it needs. Daily summaries reach each branch manager before the morning session begins.

    Clinic managers plan rosters from real booking data.

Who this is for

Four Riyadh clinic situations we are asked to solve.

Riyadh's private clinic market ranges from single specialist practices to groups with branches spread from the northern districts to the south of the city. Each starts from a different place. Some have no app at all and live on phone calls; others have an app built years ago that patients have stopped opening. These are the four starting points we see most often, and the approach that usually fits each one. In every case the first release is kept small enough to launch, measure and improve.

01

A specialist clinic whose phone never stops

Dermatology, dental and orthopaedic clinics in areas such as Olaya and Al Yasmin often have strong demand and a reception team that spends most of the day on calls. We start with booking, reminders and check-in, connected to the scheduling system you already use. The aim is to move routine bookings into the app so your receptionists can focus on the patients standing in front of them. Patients still reach a person when they need one, but routine changes no longer wait on hold.

Booking and reminders usually repay the first release fastest.

02

A group opening new branches in north Riyadh

As new residential districts fill up in the north of the city, many groups add branches faster than their systems can follow. We design one app that knows every branch, its doctors and its hours, so a new location is added in the dashboard rather than in a fresh release. Central reporting shows which branches need more sessions. Each new branch inherits the group's services and pricing rules, then local managers adjust doctors and session times.

Adding a branch should be an admin task, not a development project.

03

A clinic serving employer and government contracts

Clinics that look after staff from large Riyadh employers need company accounts, eligibility rules and reports for the employer's HR team. We build these alongside the patient app, so an employee books like any other patient while the clinic keeps the contract terms and visit counts in order. Monthly summaries for each employer can be exported from the dashboard instead of being compiled by hand at the end of every month, which is often where these contracts create the most admin.

04

An older app that patients ignore

If your current app is little more than a brochure with a phone number, we review what patients actually do on it, keep the data that matters and rebuild the flows around booking, results and payments. Existing patient accounts can usually be migrated so nobody has to register twice. We also check store ratings and support tickets to see which complaints keep coming back, so the rebuild fixes the real problems first. Before release we run the new version past a small group of loyal patients to make sure nothing they relied on has gone.

How a Riyadh clinic app moves from idea to the app stores.

  1. 01On-site discoveryWe spend time in one or two of your Riyadh branches, at reception and in the back office, and map how bookings, insurance checks and results move today. We also listen to a sample of reception calls, with permission, to see which questions come up most.
  2. 02Scope and integration planWe confirm which clinic system, lab system and payment provider the app must connect to, and agree the first release in writing with your medical and operations leads. Risks such as a vendor with no API are named at this stage, along with the workaround we propose.
  3. 03Arabic first designScreens are designed right to left first, then mirrored for English, and tested with patients of different ages so older family members can book without help. Large text settings and simple wording are checked on every key screen.
  4. 04Build in short cyclesPatient app, staff tools and dashboard are built in parallel sprints, with a working build on your phones every fortnight so feedback arrives early. Each build includes notes on what changed, so your team knows exactly what to test.
  5. 05Pilot branchOne branch runs the app with real patients first. We watch check-ins, cancellations and support questions, fix what slows people down, then roll out to the remaining branches. Reception staff get short guides and a direct line to our team during the pilot weeks.
  6. 06Ongoing releasesAfter launch, booking data and staff feedback guide the next set of features, released on a schedule your clinic managers can plan around. Release notes are shared with your branches before each update reaches patients.

Technology

What we build this with.

Patient apps are built in Flutter or native Swift and Kotlin, with a web dashboard for staff. Integrations use the APIs your clinic and lab systems expose, and hosting is set up in Saudi Arabia where your data policies call for it.

What Riyadh clinic owners ask before building an app.

A patient app, staff tools and an admin dashboard, connected to your clinic system.

The patient side covers doctor search, booking, reminders, check-in, results and payments. The staff side gives reception a live view of arrivals and insurance status, and gives doctors their session list. The dashboard is where managers add branches, doctors and services and read reports. We agree with you which parts belong in the first release, based on where your Riyadh branches lose the most time today. Anything left out is listed with a rough order for later releases.
