The Hampden Veterinary Hospital app is unique because it has been developed in conjunction with veterinarians, with clients and their animals in mind. The practice has over 20,000 clients and wanted an app that included specific features that were valuable to themselves and their clients but despite extensive research they had been unable to find in any of the apps they had seen for their sector. So they commissioned A Perfect Pocket to build exactly what they wanted.
Being able to contact a practice quickly in an emergency situation is a tremendous benefit and the app features an emergency call button for small, equine or farm animals. Also, each branch of the practice is listed with address and practice information and contains buttons to allow fast contact by telephone and email and further buttons for access to the website and GPS directions to the branch from wherever the client happens to be.
However, the feature that sets the app apart is the ‘My Animals’ database – available on PC, tablet and smartphone. This allows the client to store important information about their animal such as date of birth, height and weight, microchip number, passport number and insurance details. The app also provides the opportunity receive reminders about appointments and periodical check-ups. With this information accessible from a smartphone or tablet their clients will never be at a loss to provide information about their animal quickly and accurately. Importantly, this information is held securely and is only available to the client and the practice.
Other key features include; ‘Push Notifications’, Newsletters, a Share facility (via email, SMS or Social media) and Client Registration forms to allow the client to register themselves and their animal with a particular branch of the practice. Our Push Notifications include Geofencing, a technique developed by the military to trigger an event in the app when a smartphone enters a specified location – high-tech but tremendously powerful and useful!
The app is available on Apple, Android devices both smartphone and tablets plus a HTML5 version.
