Finding a doctor's appointment by voice, in Greek

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Greece has a public system for booking appointments with doctors in public hospitals, health centres and doctors contracted with the national insurer (ΕΟΠΥΥ). It works, but finding the earliest free slot near you means filling in a form, picking a specialty from a long official list, choosing a region, and repeating the search for each kind of provider. On a phone, that is a lot of tapping.

I built a voice front end for it. You say something like «πονάει το γόνατό μου, θέλω ραντεβού στη Θεσσαλονίκη την άλλη εβδομάδα» (“my knee hurts, I want an appointment in Thessaloniki next week”) and the app shows the nearest units and doctors with the earliest free dates. Booking still happens on the official portal.
