Breathe Easy with Automated Practice Management
Spirometry integration, asthma action plans, COPD staging and management, and sleep study documentation in one respiratory care platform.
Industry Insight
India has approximately 5,000 pulmonologists for a massive respiratory disease burden — 30+ million asthma patients, 50+ million COPD patients, and over 2.5 million new TB cases annually. Pulmonology clinics experience sharp seasonal surges and need to manage both acute presentations and chronic disease follow-ups efficiently.

Complete Pulmonology Clinics Automation Suite
Every module is tailored to the unique workflows of pulmonology clinics.
IVR & Appointment Management
Pulmonology clinics experience seasonal surges and high chronic disease follow-up volumes. Doctat's IVR handles the fluctuating scheduling demand effortlessly.
- AI-powered IVR lets patients book appointments 24/7 — handles seasonal surges without additional staff
- Smart queue with GPS ETA manages high patient volumes while keeping wait times predictable
- Automated reminders for quarterly asthma reviews, COPD check-ups, and post-TB follow-ups reduce no-shows
- 2-month scheduling forecast helps anticipate seasonal load and plan pulmonary function test slots
Pre-Consultation Intelligence
Pulmonology intake requires details on respiratory symptoms, smoking history, occupational exposure, and current inhaler use. Octa captures it all efficiently.
- Nurse captures vitals, SpO2, smoking pack-years, inhaler adherence, and symptom frequency via structured forms or voice
- Critical flags for acute breathlessness, haemoptysis, or SpO2 below threshold alert the doctor immediately
- Previous PFT results, chest X-ray reports, and medication history auto-surface for returning patients
- Structured intake captures asthma control scores and COPD assessment markers consistently
Prescription Templates & Speed
Pulmonology prescriptions centre around inhalers, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, and antibiotics. Templates make these high-frequency prescriptions instant.
- Pre-built bundles for asthma (ICS-LABA combos), COPD (LAMA + LABA), acute exacerbation, TB continuation, and pneumonia
- F-key shortcuts for common inhaler + oral medication combinations with correct device and technique notes
- Anti-duplicate check prevents prescribing conflicting bronchodilators or redundant corticosteroid formulations
- Instant test requisitions for chest X-ray, sputum culture, CBC, ABG, and IgE levels with one click
Lab & Diagnostic Integration
Pulmonology workups involve sputum studies, blood gases, allergy panels, and imaging. Doctat routes lab orders directly and syncs results back.
- Your lab orders for CBC, sputum AFB, sputum culture, IgE, ABG, and chest imaging go straight to the lab with zero re-entry
- Results sync back into the patient record automatically — track sputum conversion in TB patients across visits
- Auto-billing for every investigation ensures nothing is missed
- Pending result alerts for critical values like sputum AFB positivity or severely abnormal ABG
Pharmacy & Dispensing
Pulmonology clinics frequently dispense inhalers, nebuliser solutions, and antibiotics in-house. Doctat automates dispensing and billing.
- Prescription medicines auto-populate in the pharmacy — inhalers, oral steroids, antibiotics all queued for dispensing
- Dispense, bill, and update inventory in one step with no re-entry of medication names
- Stock alerts for high-demand respiratory drugs like salbutamol, budesonide, and montelukast
- Consolidated invoice covering consultation, lab tests, and pharmacy charges
Patient App & Follow-ups
Chronic respiratory conditions require regular monitoring and inhaler adherence. The patient app keeps patients engaged between visits.
- Patients view prescriptions, lab results, and follow-up schedules on their phone
- Automated reminders for quarterly asthma reviews, inhaler refills, and TB medication completion
- Patients can report worsening breathlessness or symptom changes through the app
- Appointment booking via app handles seasonal demand without overloading the phone lines

What Pulmonology Clinics Doctors Say
“Our pulmonology clinic sees a surge every winter — 100+ patients a day during peak season. Doctat's IVR absorbed the appointment scheduling load completely. We didn't need to hire temporary reception staff for the first time in 5 years.”
“I prescribe inhalers, antibiotics, and bronchodilators in predictable patterns all day. Doctat's F-key templates mean I write COPD and asthma prescriptions in 10 seconds. My average consultation time dropped from 6 minutes to 3 minutes.”
“Asthma patients need quarterly follow-ups for inhaler technique review and symptom assessment. Our follow-up compliance was 45%. Doctat's patient app reminders pushed it to 78%. Better compliance means fewer ER visits for my patients.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Doctat for pulmonology clinics.
Does it integrate with spirometry devices?
Yes, import spirometry results and compare FEV1/FVC trends across visits.
Can patients track peak flow readings?
Yes, patients log daily peak flow readings through the app with automated alerts for deterioration.
Does it support sleep study documentation?
Yes, structured templates for polysomnography findings and CPAP titration results.
Is Doctat suitable for pulmonology clinics?
Yes. Pulmonology clinics deal with high volumes, seasonal surges, and chronic disease management — all areas where Doctat's automation excels. The IVR handles scheduling spikes, templates cover common respiratory prescriptions, and the patient app improves follow-up compliance for asthma and COPD patients.
How does Doctat handle seasonal surges in pulmonology patient volumes?
The AI-powered IVR handles unlimited incoming appointment requests without additional staff. The smart queue manages high patient flow dynamically. Clinics that used to hire 1-2 temporary reception staff during winter seasons find they no longer need to.
Can I customise prescription templates for inhalers and respiratory medications?
Yes. Build bundles for asthma step-up therapy (ICS-LABA combinations), COPD maintenance (LAMA + LABA), acute exacerbation protocols, and TB regimens. Include device instructions and technique notes. Assign to F-keys for instant prescriptions.
How does Doctat handle lab orders for sputum studies and chest imaging?
Order sputum AFB, sputum culture, chest X-ray, CBC, or any other test with one click during consultation. The requisition goes to the lab, results sync back automatically, and billing is generated. Track sputum conversion in TB patients over time.
How does the patient app help pulmonology patients between visits?
Patients view prescriptions, check lab results, receive quarterly follow-up reminders, and report worsening symptoms. For chronic asthma and COPD patients, this continuity reduces emergency visits and improves overall disease control.
Can Doctat manage TB treatment follow-up schedules?
Yes. Set up follow-up reminders aligned with TB treatment milestones — sputum conversion checks, continuation phase transitions, and treatment completion dates. Automated reminders ensure patients don't default on their treatment regimen.
Does Doctat help with in-house pharmacy management for respiratory medications?
Yes. Inhalers, nebuliser solutions, antibiotics, and oral steroids are dispensed through the pharmacy module with auto-billing and inventory tracking. Stock alerts prevent running out of critical respiratory medications.
