International clients: free quotes in USD, delivered remotely from India.
Why RCS Messaging Matters for Diagnostic Labs
RCS business messaging brings images, carousels and suggested-reply buttons to the phone's default messaging app, with a verified sender name and logo. For diagnostic labs and pathology centres, that means app-like messages without asking patients to install anything.
Diagnostic labs win business through doctor referrals, home sample collection and convenience. Patients want to know test preparation, timings and when reports will be ready, and they increasingly expect digital reports on their phone.
Challenges Diagnostic Labs Face
- Patients arriving without fasting or other preparation, forcing repeat visits
- Many calls asking whether reports are ready
- Competition from aggregators for home collection bookings
We handle brand verification, design rich cards and suggested replies, and configure SMS fallback for unsupported devices. Campaign reports show delivery and engagement so you can compare RCS with plain SMS.
Diagnostic Labs Playbook
How customers choose
Lab customers usually arrive with a doctor's prescription or for a health package, compare prices, home sample collection availability and report turnaround times, and book online or by phone. The key moments afterwards are the collection reminder, fasting instructions and the notification that reports are ready.
Channel mix
Search ads and price comparison pages capture people looking for specific tests; WhatsApp handles bookings and sends secure report links; SMS carries collection slots and fasting reminders; voice calls confirm home collection addresses; email delivers health package offers to corporate clients.
Campaign ideas
- Fasting reminder the night before a morning blood test
- Seasonal packages, such as vitamin D tests in winter or pre-travel checks
- Repeat-test reminders for patients monitoring diabetes or thyroid levels

Compliance for Diagnostic Labs
Labs should describe tests factually and avoid diagnostic claims in ads. Reports contain health data, so links must be secure and shared only with the patient or the person they authorise, in line with the DPDP Act, 2023.
Test results are health data, so reports should be sent through secure, password-protected links rather than as plain attachments, and message previews should not mention the test. Lab accreditation (such as ISO 15189 or CAP) can be advertised only if current.
RCS business messaging in India requires brand verification and depends on device, messaging app and operator support. Promotional content should follow the same consent principles that apply to other commercial communication under TRAI rules.
For other countries, see our RCS compliance guides by country.
