Fix tech issues before they cancel the visit.
Camera blocked. Browser wrong. Visit link expired. These are fixable in seconds – if the patient gets the right answer in time. Chatref answers from your tech guides before they give up.
Why it matters
The problem this solves.
The challenge
Technical issues are the top reason patients drop off before their first virtual visit.
What it costs
A missed visit because of a browser block costs your platform a completed appointment and patient trust.
The Chatref way
Chatref walks patients through camera, browser, and connection fixes from your guides in real time.
The Chatref solution
How Chatref handles tech setup questions.
A patient hits a camera permission block, browser warning, or expired visit link. Chatref answers with the exact fix from your tech guide – the right browser setting, the reload step, or a fresh link – and the patient joins their visit.

It gives device-specific steps that match our guides exactly. Patients trust the answer because it matches what they see on their screen.
