Patient Portal from the Patient View

This guide explains the Patient Portal from the patient perspective. It helps clinic teams understand what patients see when they log in, update their profile, review appointments, and follow their treatment information.

Profile and Settings

Patients can update their contact information, address details, emergency contact, language preference, and visual theme from the profile area. If required profile information is missing, the system can prompt the patient to complete it.

Appointments

Patients can view upcoming and past appointments, check appointment details, and confirm or cancel when the clinic allows it. After confirmation, the appointment status is updated automatically.
