Book a slot, join the queue from home, and walk in when it’s your turn.

## Challenge

Waiting rooms are where clinics lose goodwill. Patients arrive early because they can’t see the queue, the room fills up, and the front desk spends its day answering “how long?”. The desk also has to keep the order fair when patients are late, miss their number or walk in without booking, and a queue on a phone is only useful while it matches the room.

## Solution

Make the queue number the interface. A patient picks a day and a slot, then gets a ticket showing the number being served, their own number and how many people are ahead. The app turns that into the decision that matters, when to leave, and sends a reminder with directions when it’s time to go. We explored three tickets: a progress ring implied a known end time, a full timeline asked people to read, and a large number with one line of context won because it reads from across a room and from a lock screen.

## Technology

React Native gives both phones one codebase, since patients bring both kinds. Live queue updates keep the ticket current and push notifications carry the nudge to leave. Staff don’t need the phone app: a simple web view at the desk calls the next number and shows who is waiting, and calling has to stay a single tap or the queue on the phone stops being true.

## What we’d measure

Clinic Queue App is a goodtogrid studio concept, not client work: a phone app for clinic patients and a web view for the front desk, designed so people can wait at home instead of in a crowded waiting room. No clinic has used it, so there are no results yet. In a pilot with a real clinic, the studio would measure three things. Time spent in the waiting room comes first, because moving the wait out of the room is the whole point. Missed appointments come next, since a live number and a reminder to leave should help patients arrive in time for their turn. The third is how often the desk is still asked how long the wait is, a direct test of whether the queue on the phone answers that question on its own.

- Time spent in the waiting room
- Missed appointments
- “How long?” asked at the desk

A studio concept: numbers we’d watch on a live product, not results we’re claiming.
