What is Instant Consultation?
What is Instant Consultation?
Instant consultation allows you to book a quick appointment with a doctor via video or audio call. Choose a convenient time, and the system matches you with an available doctor to discuss your health concerns and receive advice or treatment from home. It's like having a doctor's appointment at your fingertips!

What better than users sharing their experience? These interview questions gather insights to improve the booking experience for doctor's appointments during non-serviceable hours. I asked 6+ users and interviewed them about their experience and journey.

Interview Statements
Interview Statements
“The most significant frustration is the lack of immediate options during non-serviceable hours.”
“I expect to have alternative options or some way to book an appointment for the next available slot.”
“I expect the app to offer an option to schedule the first available appointment or provide some form of immediate assistance.”
“Sometimes the app crashes, and I lose my progress in the booking process.”
UNDERSTANDING PSYCH LEVEL
User’s Behaviour & Mental Model
User’s Behaviour & Mental Model
Imagine a person coming to the screen to book a doctor appointment which the users is in urgent need for.
While the first screen they see when they try to look out for Instant consultation is a “POP UP” which shows that the services are “CURRENTLY CLOSED”.
I tracked the mental model of the users when i asked them to try booking a doctor consultation during non serviceable hours. Users experience a decline in satisfaction upon encountering a popup stating that serviceable hours are closed.

After all the validation & conducting all the interviews and understanding data metrics and patterns, I concluded with the major problems which were there in the current experience due to which there were bounce rates and user churns.
After all the validation & conducting all the interviews and understanding data metrics and patterns, I concluded with the major problems which were there in the current experience due to which there were bounce rates and user churns.
Lack of Immediate Alternatives
The action feels so forced that there are no alternative solutions or immediate help options provided. This experience of not providing users what they want is itself opening an exit door for them to leave the journey
Disappointed message
A disappointing message can lead to users trusting less to the platform. While as a healthcare business, we should always ensure more care and trust for the users, which doesn’t reflect here
No Communication about service hours
Users came to an app with an intent of booking a consultation, While there are no communication about the service hours which can be annoying and inconvenient

# REACTANCE PSYCHOLOGY
Giving users alternatives
Forcing adoption of a behaviour may backfire.
Thus, I gave users the option to reduce reactance by allowing them to schedule an appointment now for later.
This way, they can book in advance instead of leaving the screen empty-handed during their time of need.
Allowing users to schedule for later, ensuring they can secure a spot even during off- hours.
