Empowering Patients: RecoMed Launches User-Friendly Mammogram Booking System

Submitted by: Nasreen Badrodien

RecoMed has introduced a seamless online mammogram booking service in partnership with leading radiology and business companies, creating digital pathways for patients to book appointments directly with radiology providers.

Key features of the platform include:

  • A streamlined booking process for mammograms with radiology providers.
  • Partnerships with Bankmed, Eisai, and prominent radiology companies to simplify access.
  • Direct bookings that allow patients to schedule, attend, and receive results in one efficient process.

Transforming Access to Preventative Care

October, marking Breast Cancer Awareness Month, is a vital reminder to prioritise regular breast cancer screenings. Regular screenings can aid in early detection, and RecoMed’s mammogram booking platform makes it easier than ever for people to take proactive steps towards their health.

RecoMed, a South African health tech innovator, has partnered with key organisations like Bankmed, Eisai, and leading radiology groups such as Morton and Partners, Jackpersad and Partners Inc., Keystone Medical, and Breast for Life. This partnership has digitised the mammogram booking process, removing barriers to access and giving women more control over their preventative care journey.

Simplifying the Mammogram Booking Process

According to Sheraan Amod, CEO and Founder of RecoMed, "Patients can now book directly with radiology providers, simplifying the process and allowing them to manage their health efficiently. This platform puts people in control of their healthcare, enabling them to book, attend, and receive results before even visiting a GP or specialist."

The timing of this launch is critical as breast cancer rates continue to rise. The World Health Organization estimates a 31% increase in breast cancer incidence from 2020 to 2040, with 2.3 million women diagnosed in 2022 alone.

A Collaborative Effort

The collaboration between Bankmed, Eisai, and RecoMed, spearheaded by Bankmed, aims to make preventative screening a priority. RecoMed’s vision is to create more awareness and make it easier for people to schedule appointments, with further initiatives planned beyond Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Amod adds, “Early detection can save lives, and our goal is to reach millions of South Africans through an accessible and cost-effective digital ecosystem.”

Positive Feedback from Users

A recent survey conducted by RecoMed found that users had a positive experience with the platform, appreciating its ease of use and simplified access to care. The service allows people to book a mammogram and receive results that can be discussed with a specialist or radiologist, with some radiologists providing immediate reports.
