IVF clinic software: patient portals, consents & messaging

IVF clinics: a clear path through a hard journey. Calmer patients, quieter phones.

Instructions arrive on paper, by email and over the phone. Scans move with the cycle, day 1 calls jam the line on a Sunday and nurses spend every afternoon ringing patients with tonight's dose. We build patient journey systems for fertility clinics that show each patient what's next and keep every message secure. Then we host them and look after them.

Looking for fertility clinic software that makes the patient journey clearer?

Fertility treatment is emotional, expensive and changes by the day. A single cycle means consents for both partners, cost estimates, a medication plan that shifts after every blood test, scans that move with the body and a two-week wait nobody enjoys. Most clinics hold it together with a clinical system built for the lab, a phone that never stops and nurses who carry half the schedule in their heads.

Wollopit builds custom patient journey software around how your clinic actually runs. Each patient gets a clear timeline of what's next. Day 1 gets logged without a phone call. Results and dose instructions go out securely once a nurse approves them. Consents get signed online and storage renewals chase themselves. We connect to the clinical and billing systems you already rely on and host the lot on our own managed servers.

01The problems

What we hear from IVF clinics

Does your fertility clinic have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.

The clinics we talk to have brilliant scientists and caring nurses. The trouble is the admin around them, which lands on the people patients need most.

  • The problemDay 1 calls jam the phonesPatients ring to report day 1 at 6am on a Sunday, get voicemail and spend the morning worrying they've missed the window.
    How we fix itPatients log day 1 in the portal or by SMS any time. It lands in the nurse queue with the right next step already worked out.
  • The problemThe afternoon results callMorning bloods come back and nurses spend hours ringing patients with tonight's dose, playing phone tag till close.
    How we fix itNurses approve instructions on a dashboard and patients read them securely in the portal. Read receipts mean you only call who hasn't seen it.
  • The problemPatients drowning in instructionsA folder of printouts, three emails and a sticky note on the fridge. Nobody's sure which version is current.
    How we fix itA personal treatment timeline for every patient showing where they are, what's next and what to do today.
  • The problemMedication mix-upsDoses change after every blood test and patients panic about whether it was 150 or 225 and exactly when to trigger.
    How we fix itA live medication schedule with reminders, the exact trigger time, injection how-to videos and a tick when it's done.
  • The problemAppointments that won't sit stillScans and bloods move with the cycle. Changes go out by phone and patients turn up at the old time.
    How we fix itAppointment changes pushed to the portal and SMS instantly, with confirmations so the front desk knows they've landed.
  • The problemThe same questions every dayCan I exercise? Is this spotting normal? Can I fly? Nurses answer them one call at a time.
    How we fix itSecure messaging with urgent flags and a triage queue, plus a clinic-approved guide library patients can check first.
  • The problemConsent paperwork mountainsMultiple forms per cycle for both partners, witnessing, versions that change and a treatment day held up by one missing signature.
    How we fix itOnline consents for each partner with ID checks, version control and a readiness check before treatment goes ahead.
  • The problemCost confusionPatients don't know what's out of pocket, what Medicare covers or what's due when. Billing gets the awkward calls.
    How we fix itItemised cost estimates per stage, informed financial consent signed online and payments taken in the portal.
  • The problemStorage renewals chased by handEmbryos and eggs in storage for years. Renewal letters, fees and consent to continue chased by post and phone.
    How we fix itA storage register with automatic renewal reminders, online consent and payment plus an escalation list for no replies.
  • The problemDonor and surrogacy programs on spreadsheetsDonor screening, counselling, cooling-off periods and matching tracked in a spreadsheet one coordinator understands.
    How we fix itA donor and surrogacy tracker showing every step, every required session and what's blocking each match.
  • The problemNew enquiries go coldReferrals arrive by fax and secure message, web enquiries sit in an inbox and nobody follows up after the info night.
    How we fix itAn intake pipeline from referral or enquiry to first consult, with info session bookings and gentle follow-ups.
  • The problemThe two-week wait feels like silenceTreatment stops, the calls stop and patients feel dropped right when they're most anxious.
    How we fix itPlanned check-ins, easy counselling bookings and results delivered the way each patient has asked for them.

03The systems

The big ones

Your whole patient journey, on one system.

These are the systems fertility clinics ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly useful when they're joined up.

Treatment timelines

Every patient knows exactly what's next.

Each patient gets a personal timeline for their cycle, from first consult to result. It moves when their cycle moves, so today's task is always at the top and nothing lives on a printout.

  • Timelines per cycle type
  • IVF, FET, IUI and egg freezing
  • Today's task always at the top
  • Day 1 logged in the portal or by SMS
  • Appointments shown as they change
  • Partner access on a linked login
  • Plain-English step explanations
  • Works on any phone, no app needed
  • Past cycles kept for reference

Nurse dashboard

The afternoon phone marathon, finished.

Day 1 logs, results back from pathology, instructions waiting for approval and patient messages all land in one queue. Nurses approve tonight's plan in a few clicks and only pick up the phone for the patients who actually need a call.

  • One queue for the whole nursing team
  • Day 1 logs with the next step suggested
  • Results ready to review
  • Instructions sent only after approval

04How it changes

Before and after

The afternoon results call, wolloped.

Here's how one afternoon in the nurses' station could change. Every clinic runs its protocols differently, so we map yours first.

Before

  1. Morning bloods come back and the call list starts
  2. Nurses ring each patient with tonight's dose
  3. Half go to voicemail so it's phone tag till close
  4. Patient scribbles the dose on the back of an envelope
  5. A worried callback asking if it was 150 or 225
  6. Nobody's quite sure who was told what

After

  1. Results land on the nurse dashboard as they arrive
  2. A nurse approves tonight's instructions in a few clicks
  3. Patient gets a secure notice and reads it in the portal
  4. The dose and time drop into their medication schedule
  5. A reminder buzzes at injection time with a how-to video
  6. Read receipts show who's seen it. Nurses only call the rest

07How we work

The process

Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.

We get properly below the surface of your fertility clinic: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.

  1. 01

    Think

    We sit with your nurses, front desk, billing team and scientists, then follow a real cycle from referral to result to see where it hurts.

  2. 02

    Archi-tech

    We plan it before writing code: your protocols, consents, approvals, privacy controls, integrations, hosting and cost.

  3. 03

    Build

    Real engineering, shown to your clinicians early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, like day 1 logging or results instructions.

  4. 04

    Look after

    We host it securely, maintain it and keep improving it. When something needs fixing you call the people who built it.

08Questions

FAQ

Things IVF clinics ask us.

Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.

How is sensitive patient information protected?

With encrypted connections, strict role-based access, audit trails and careful handling of what's stored, following the Australian Privacy Principles. It's hosted on our own managed servers in Australia.

Will instructions go to patients without a clinician checking them?

No. Dose and treatment instructions only go out once a nurse or doctor has approved them. The system handles delivery, reminders and read receipts. Your clinicians stay in charge of the decisions.

Do we have to replace our clinical or IVF lab system?

No. If IDEAS, Meditex, Genie or another system is doing its job, we build the patient portal, messaging and consents around it and connect where it allows. If something is holding you back, we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.

Can both partners use the portal?

Yes. Partners get their own linked logins so each can sign their own consents, see the timeline and get reminders. You control what each person can see.

Will patients actually use it?

It runs in the phone browser with no app to download and it's built to be calm and simple. Patients who'd rather call can still call. Most just want to stop hunting for the right printout.

Can it handle embryo storage renewals?

Yes. A storage register tracks renewal dates, sends reminders, takes consent to continue and payment online and flags anyone who hasn't replied so your team can follow up.

How much does a fertility clinic system cost?

It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.

How long does it take?

Smaller pieces like online consents or day 1 logging can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.

Who looks after it once it's built?

We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need a change or something isn't right, you ring the people who built it.

We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?

Usually, yes. Most IVF clinics we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
