Yes. Dynamic Add to Calendar is widely used across healthcare to reduce missed appointments - one of the most costly operational problems in the sector.

How it works for healthcare

When a patient books an appointment through your scheduling system, the confirmation page or confirmation email includes a Dynamic Add to Calendar button or link. The button is personalized for that specific patient: their appointment date, time, provider name, clinic location (or telehealth link), and any pre-appointment instructions.

The patient clicks once, and the appointment is added to their personal Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar with automatic reminders from their device - no app download, no account required.

Why it reduces no-shows

The core problem with healthcare no-shows is that appointments are often booked weeks in advance. Patients genuinely intend to attend but forget by the time the date arrives. A calendar entry:

• Makes the appointment visible every time the patient checks their schedule
• Fires automatic device reminders (1 day before, 1 hour before) without any extra work from your team
• Includes the telehealth link or clinic address right in the calendar event - reducing "I didn't know where to go" no-shows

Real-world results

SecureVideo, a platform for HIPAA-compliant healthcare video appointments, has used AddEvent since 2013 to reduce missed telehealth sessions. Adding a one-click calendar button to appointment confirmations is one of their standard recommendations for virtual care providers.

Compliance considerations

AddEvent is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant. For HIPAA-specific requirements, contact the AddEvent Enterprise team to discuss data handling configurations appropriate for your organization.

Plan requirement

Dynamic Add to Calendar is an Enterprise plan feature. Healthcare organizations with ongoing appointment flows typically implement it via the AddEvent API, which is included in the Enterprise plan.
