Secure Texting for Pager Replacement

According to a HIMSS research study, over 90% of hospitals still, rely on pagers to coordinate patient care.

That is why we developed Qliq, the best secure texting platform and pager replacement solution that connects doctors and nurses and facilitates true patient-centered communication.

How engaged are your patients? If you’re honest with yourself, the answer probably lands somewhere between somewhat and not at all. Even as people grow more interconnected online and engaged in their favorite brands, very rarely do we see them taking the same interest in their own healthcare journey. The conversation is rarely two-sided, relying mostly on the doctor or nurse telling them what they should be doing rather than providing input on their day to day activities which could impact their care.
