Healthcare Shouldn't Lose Patients to Missed Calls
DaktariDesk connects clinics to their patients using the tools they already have — Google Calendar and WhatsApp. No new software. No learning curve. Just fewer no-shows.
Founded 2025 • Nairobi, Kenya
30%
of clinic appointments in Kenya end in no-shows
Every missed appointment means lost revenue for clinics and delayed care for patients. Receptionists spend hours on the phone chasing confirmations — time better spent helping the patients who actually show up.
The Clinic Impact
The Patient Impact
Born From a Simple Observation
We watched receptionists in Nairobi clinics spend their mornings doing the same thing: calling patients one by one to remind them about tomorrow's appointments. Some answered. Many didn't. The ones who didn't often forgot and never showed up.
The Calendar
Every clinic we visited already used Google Calendar to manage appointments. The data was there — names, times, phone numbers.
The Channel
Every patient had WhatsApp. Not email. Not an app they needed to download. WhatsApp — the platform they check 50 times a day.
The Bridge
A Chrome Extension that sits on top of Google Calendar and sends reminders via WhatsApp. No new software to install. No training needed. It just works.

What We Believe
Three principles that guide everything we build.
Patient-First
Every feature starts with one question: does this help patients get the care they need? If the answer is no, we don't build it.
Zero Friction
Clinics shouldn't need to learn new software. DaktariDesk works with Google Calendar and WhatsApp — tools they already use every day.
Kenya-Built
Made in Nairobi, for Kenyan healthcare. We understand the local context — M-Pesa payments, WhatsApp culture, and the realities of clinic operations.
