Transforming Mobile Healthcare Through Active Communication
Reduced no-show rates by 40% and customer service calls by 10% by designing and validating a proactive WhatsApp-based communication strategy for A+ Fleury’s mobile healthcare service — transforming visibility into operational efficiency.






Context
Grupo Fleury operates a mobile diagnostic service (home exam collection) with high operational complexity and strong dependency on manual coordination between field nurses, backoffice, and customer support for all brands, specially A+.
The mobile journey lacked visibility for patients and internal teams, generating high call center volume, operational friction, and preventable no-shows.
Challenge
How might we increase operational efficiency and patient satisfaction by improving visibility and communication across the entire mobile service journey — without increasing pressure on the call center?
The initiative required:
Reducing no-show rates
Reducing CAC calls related to nurse arrival and delays
Increasing patient trust and perceived quality
Structuring a scalable digital communication model
Key deliverables
AI-powered conversational flows on WhatsApp enabling proactive patient communication
Nurse/Field Technical WebApp for real-time operational coordination
Backoffice Operations Platform to centralize visibility and reduce service friction
End-to-end mobile service journey redesign integrating communication, logistics, and support


Role
As Digital Product Design Manager at CI&T, leading product discovery for Fleury’s Mobile Service (A+ brand), I:
Structured the full discovery framework
Led qualitative and quantitative research
Defined business hypotheses and success KPIs
Facilitated strategic mapping workshops
Designed the future-state journey (To-Be)
Co-created roadmap and MVP validation plan with Product and Engineering


Approach
1. Strategic Discovery
Executive business interviews
Operational deep dive with field nurses and backoffice
Analysis of documented customer complaints
AS-IS service blueprint
Benchmark analysis (including digital-first competitors)
Key insight: Lack of real-time visibility was the main friction across all layers — patient, CAC, and operations.
2. Hypothesis-Driven Validation
We structured two primary hypotheses:
Sending real-time WhatsApp notifications about nurse proximity reduces no-show and CAC calls
Sending delay notifications reduces anxiety, call volume, and service abandonment
We ran a two-week controlled pilot with selected nurses using WhatsApp communication protocols.
3. Measurement Framework
Success metrics included:
No-show rate (control group vs. general population)
CAC call volume related to arrival status
NPS comparison
Qualitative patient interviews




Impact
40% reduction in no-show rates during pilot
10% reduction in customer service calls related to arrival status
100% approval of the communication experience among pilot participants
Validated communication as a scalable operational lever
The initiative evolved into:
WhatsApp tracking notifications
Digital scheduling enhancements
Nurse WebApp
Backoffice operational platform
Structured product roadmap for automation and logistics optimization
Strategic Outcome
This project repositioned mobile healthcare communication from reactive (call center-driven) to proactive and experience-driven — transforming communication into an operational efficiency strategy rather than a support function.
It established a scalable digital foundation for:
Real-time tracking
Intelligent routing
Automated backoffice workflows
CRM integration
