Chain SMS
Accurx's main product is Chain SMS, a messaging program used by doctor surgeries to communicate with patients.[1][2] The program runs on desktop computers and sends SMS text messages.[3] It can integrate with some software used in GP surgeries[3]—SystmOne and EMIS Health.[4] Chain SMS was launched in February 2018 and as of February 2019, was used in more than 1,400 GP surgeries in the UK.[3] Since the COVID-19 pandemic in the UK, AccuRx integrated a videotelephony system into Chain SMS,[5] using Whereby,[6] and subsequently "more than 90 percent of primary care clinics in England are now using it" for online appointments.[7]
SMS messages from Chain SMS appear from "GPSurgery" by default.
