Doctor appointment booking software in Algeria: keep your software, let Yadoct be the front door to your calendar

You already have practice software, a paper diary or an Excel file, and you have no wish to change everything. Good news: to offer online appointment booking to your patients, you do not have to. Yadoct Pro sits in front of the way you already work, like a front door: appointments taken by phone or at reception and the ones your patients book online land in one calendar, and your medical records stay where they are.

This article explains what that changes for a practice in Algeria, how to start without retyping your schedule, and what it costs.

The short answer

• You keep your software: your records, your prescriptions and your habits do not move. Nothing to migrate.
• One calendar for every appointment: the ones your assistant enters, and the ones patients book on the Yadoct website or in the Yadoct app.
• Your current schedule imported in minutes, from Excel, Google Calendar or a simple photo.
• Appointments entered at the practice are free; only online appointments that were honoured are billed — a no-show is never charged.

Why open your calendar online now

In Algeria, appointments are still mostly made by phone: a busy line at peak hours, an assistant juggling reception and calls, patients who give up or go elsewhere. Meanwhile your patients are already online: at the end of 2025, 37.8 million people were using the internet in Algeria, 79.5% of the population (DataReportal, Digital 2026). They look for a doctor on their phone, often in the evening, when the practice is closed.

A calendar that is open online answers at that moment, around the clock, without one more call for your reception.

Yadoct as the front door: how it works

1. You set the frame: your hours, your reasons for visit, your days off. You decide what opens online.
2. The patient books a real slot on your profile, from the website or the app. The practice's own appointments are in the same calendar: a full slot is no longer offered online.
3. The appointment lands in your calendar, next to the ones taken by phone, on the reception computer as well as on your phone.
4. The patient gets an automatic reminder in the Yadoct app before the appointment.

A booking made on the website needs no account and no app: a first name, a last name and a phone number are enough, and the Yadoct team calls the patient to confirm the request before passing it on to you. In the app, the booking goes straight to the practice.

Practice appointments and online appointments: one calendar

This is what changes everything day to day. Your assistant keeps answering the phone and writing down appointments — but in the same calendar where online bookings arrive. Reception sees the whole day at a glance, and so do you, from your phone.

For walk-in consultations, the waiting-room queue works with the same account: tickets handed out at reception or taken remotely by patients.

Start without starting over: import your calendar

Your upcoming appointments are already written down somewhere. You do not have to retype them one by one:

• A photo or a screenshot of your paper diary or of your software's calendar: Yadoct extracts the appointments.
• An Excel file with name, phone, date and time.
• Google Calendar: your upcoming appointments, imported through your Google account.

You review the list before confirming, and your calendar is ready in minutes.

What stays in your software

Yadoct does not ask you to move your records: your medical records, your prescriptions and your history stay in your current software. If one day you want to go further, the Yadoct Pro practice software is already there, free, on the same account.

The data entrusted to Yadoct is kept on servers located in Algeria, encrypted and accessible only to the authorised people of your practice, in line with law 18-07.

What it costs

• Appointments entered by the practice: 0 DZD.
• Appointments your patients book online: 25 DZD per completed appointment, or 1990 DZD a month unlimited, after a 30-day free trial. A no-show is never charged.

No licence, no installation, no commitment. The details are on the appointment pricing page.

Which practices is it for?

General practitioners and specialists, dentists, group practices and clinics: as soon as the phone rings more than reception can answer. See Yadoct Pro by specialty and online appointment booking for practices.
