Accurx is a British software company working in the health sector.
[1] Accurx's main product is Chain SMS, a messaging program used by doctor surgeries to communicate with patients.
[1][2] The program runs on desktop computers and sends SMS text messages.
[3] Since the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, Accurx integrated a videotelephony system into Chain SMS,[5] using Whereby,[6] and subsequently "more than 90 percent of primary care clinics in England are now using it" for online appointments.
University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust used Accurx’s patient messaging feature in 2022 to communicate with patients via SMS to ask if they still needed their overdue first appointment or follow-up appointment.
