Within the Hour is an app that helps you find last-minute healthcare and wellness appointment openings near you. When a provider has an available slot, you’ll get a notification, and you can quickly book an appointment if it suits your schedule. Think of it as an easy to use cancellation list service or way of finding quick and close appointments. It can also be a way of keeping your place in a queue without remaining onsite.

After signing up, you can join a list by scanning a QR code, entering the WTH# or finding it on the app. It may be important to share your location so that your provider knows that you are nearby. You can also favourite a service like X-rays, dental care or physiotherapy. If you are within range you can receive notifications of availabilities for services you favourite. This can be useful if you need the soonest/closest spot regardless of provider.

By favoriting a service or provider, you’ll be alerted when they have last- minute openings. This ensures that you never miss an opportunity to book an appointment quickly when one becomes available. If you are in a new location this might save having to phone and find opportunities yourself.

The app is free to download and use for patients. Your provider may choose to pay to use the app.

Your privacy is of paramount importance. Within The Hour complies with HIPAA regulations for healthcare services and ensures that your personal information remains secure and confidential. It is monitored continuously by Vanta for compliance and security and strives to minimize health data collected or available.
