Communications integration
Twilio integration for telehealth
Power patient SMS and voice off telehealth events.
Turbopills connects to Twilio so transactional SMS and voice fire on the events that matter: intake reminders, approval notices, shipping updates, and refill prompts. Messaging is programmable and reliable, and PHI exposure is minimized to what each message requires.
What is Twilio?
Twilio is a programmable communications platform for SMS, voice, and messaging APIs, used to build reliable, automated patient and customer notifications at scale.
