MyChart's Hello Patient feature leverages geolocation capabilities on iOS and Android devices to detect when a patient arrives for an appointment.

If the patient has completed all check in tasks ahead of time, the patient can be automatically checked in without even needing to visit the front desk.

If the patient does have outstanding check in tasks, he or she can be automatically signed in and then prompted to complete eCheck-in.
