Keep trusted education moving between touchpoints
Health, aged care, allied health, and community organisations can explore practical ways to stay connected with the people they support. These capabilities can help useful, approved information travel from your website to social channels, inboxes, and opted-in mobile messages.
The right channel depends on your audience, approved information, consent arrangements, and service context. We describe options to explore, not a pre-configured system.

Start with the audience need, then choose the channel
A useful communication pathway begins with the people your organisation supports. The details below outline where each capability may help and the practical considerations to bring into a co-design conversation.
01
Website chatbot
A helpful first answer, after hours
An embeddable website assistant can help visitors find approved general information and understand the next step when your team is offline.
Where organisations may use it
- Answer common questions about your organisation, services, resources, or how to get in touch.
- Direct visitors to approved education, relevant service information, and the right contact pathway.
- Offer a clear starting point for people who arrive outside reception or service hours.
How it can help
- Make existing information easier to find on your website.
- Provide a consistent first response to common general enquiries.
- Create a clearer path from a question to an appropriate next step.
Consideration for your organisation
A chatbot would be configured around approved information, escalation wording, and agreed review processes. It supports general enquiries only. It does not provide clinical diagnosis, clinical triage, or emergency advice.
02
Social media scheduling
Plan a considered presence across connected channels
Plan, prepare, review, and schedule useful educational content across connected channels so your organisation can maintain a consistent, considered presence.
Where organisations may use it
- Map simple education themes around healthy ageing, digital confidence, community participation, or service information.
- Prepare posts for review before they are scheduled to a connected social channel.
- Keep timely reminders and helpful resources visible without relying on last-minute updates.
How it can help
- Give communication teams a clearer planning rhythm.
- Support consistent language and accessible presentation across approved content.
- Help your organisation stay present between appointments, visits, and community touchpoints.
Consideration for your organisation
The approach depends on the channels your organisation connects, the content approval process you prefer, and the audiences you want to reach. Specific integrations and content formats can be explored during planning.
03
Email marketing
Continue education by inbox
Create welcome, follow-up, and nurture communication that helps education continue between appointments and service touchpoints.
Where organisations may use it
- Welcome people who have chosen to receive updates and show them where to begin.
- Follow up an education resource with a related prompt, guide, or agreed next step.
- Build a considered sequence that keeps useful information available over time.
How it can help
- Extend the value of a conversation beyond a single appointment or visit.
- Give people a predictable way to revisit approved education.
- Help teams organise communication around a cohort, topic, or service touchpoint.
Consideration for your organisation
Email communication needs clear permission, suitable sending setup, and content that has been reviewed for the intended audience. Delivery should be discussed once consent and sending requirements are in place.
04
SMS updates
Send timely messages with clear consent
Available in supported regions only. The current SMS marketing setup supports US and Canadian contacts, not Australian recipients. Where supported, it can send concise, timely updates or follow-ups to contacts who have explicitly opted in.
Where organisations may use it
- Share a short follow-up prompt or a link to approved information after a service touchpoint, where the recipient's region is supported.
- Remind an opted-in contact about an agreed next step or helpful resource.
- Provide brief practical updates where SMS is a supported and appropriate channel for the audience.
How it can help
- Put a useful next step within easy reach for people who have opted in and live in a supported region.
- Support concise communication when an inbox is less convenient, where the channel is available.
- Help organisations compare SMS with website, social, and email education before choosing a channel.
Consideration for your organisation
SMS marketing is available in supported regions only. The current setup supports US and Canadian contacts, not Australian recipients, so Australian organisations should not assume SMS is available for their audience. SMS requires explicit opt-in and responsible use. Messaging setup, sender arrangements, carrier requirements, frequency, and appropriate content all need to be agreed. It is not an unrestricted channel and does not replace clinical advice or emergency services.
A pathway to discuss together
How the tools can work together
The sequence below is a practical way to frame a co-design conversation. It is an approach to explore, rather than a guaranteed automated system or a promise that every channel will suit every audience.
01
Identify the audience need
Start with the question, cohort priority, or service touchpoint you want to support.
02
Choose an appropriate channel
Consider where your audience is most likely to find and use the information.
03
Share clear approved information
Use accessible language, agreed boundaries, and information your organisation is comfortable sharing.
04
Invite the next step
Point people towards a relevant resource, enquiry route, conversation, or service contact.
05
Review engagement and refine
Discuss what people are using and where the pathway could become clearer or more useful.
A considered pace matters. Your organisation can decide which audience, message, channel, review process, and next step belong in a pilot before any tool is configured.
Explore a practical next step
Choose the channels that fit your care context
Tell us which audience, service touchpoint, or communication challenge you want to explore. A co-designed pilot conversation can help clarify the content, boundaries, consent arrangements, and channel mix that make sense for your organisation.
Discuss a co-designed pilotEducational scope clarification
Healthwise Digital Pathways provides health literacy and digital education resources. It does not provide clinical diagnosis, clinical triage, or emergency treatment. Any channel, content, and escalation wording would be discussed with your organisation and aligned with approved information.
Responsible communication starts with clear boundaries, suitable consent, and a next step people can understand.
