Healthcare & Pharmacy

Turn a waiting room into a well-timed reminder.

GeoNest triggers a pickup notification, a refill reminder, or a check-in confirmation based on where a device is — never based on any medical information.

Use cases

Everything a healthcare & pharmacy fence can trigger.

Enter, dwell, and exit mean something specific here — this is what that looks like in practice.

PUSH · JUST NOW
You've arrived
We've let the front desk know you're here — please have a seat.
Triggered by: enter

Enter

Appointment check-in confirmation

Entry into the clinic fence can confirm arrival automatically, giving front-desk staff a heads-up without a manual check-in step.

EnterPush
SMS · JUST NOW
Your prescription is ready
Please see the pharmacist at window 2 for pickup.
Triggered by: dwell 8 min

Dwell

Prescription-ready notification

A dwell in the waiting area completing signals the wait is likely over — send a pickup-ready text without staff needing to check.

EMAIL · JUST NOW
Refill reminder
Your next refill is due in 5 days — reply to schedule pickup.
Triggered by: exit

Exit

Refill reminder on exit

A visit ending is a natural moment to remind a patient their next refill is coming up, without interrupting the visit itself.

Why teams choose GeoNest

The hard parts are already solved.

Native OS geofencing

Circles and polygons handed to the phone's own geofencing APIs — no continuous background polling.

Three REST endpoints

Register, fetch geofences, report an event — that's the entire integration surface.

Per-app scoping

Every fence, device, and campaign is scoped to a single app — nothing crosses over.

Reuses your channels

Dispatches through your existing email and SMS infrastructure, plus Firebase Cloud Messaging for push — nothing new to wire up.

Questions

Before you draw the first fence.

Does GeoNest have access to any medical or patient data? +

No — GeoNest only evaluates a device's location against a geographic fence you define. It has no visibility into prescriptions, diagnoses, or any other health record.

Is this compliant with healthcare privacy regulations? +

GeoNest handles only location and device data. Whether a specific message or workflow meets your regulatory obligations (like HIPAA) is a decision for your team and compliance counsel — GeoNest doesn't make that determination for you.

Can a fence around a clinic accidentally include the parking lot or a neighboring business? +

Draw the fence as a polygon that traces the actual building footprint, and GeoNest computes the bounding wake-up circle automatically — the precise polygon is what decides containment, not the wider circle.

Can we control how often the same patient gets a message? +

Yes — cooldown is a separate setting from dwell time, so you control the minimum gap between repeat triggers for the same device.
