Doctors’ practices in the Netherlands. An AI that answers your practice’s calls when every line is busy
When the lines are busy or the practice is closed, Vicem answers and takes a clear message.
In the Netherlands, you give out a Vicem number or forward the calls you miss from your own. Callers there usually speak Dutch, and Vicem answers each one in their own language.

How it works in the Netherlands
Give out your Vicem number
Put your Vicem number on your website, card and profiles, and pick up in the app when you want to talk.
Keep your number
Forward the calls you miss to your Vicem number. It’s a US number, so your phone company may charge for each forwarded call.
Callers in the Netherlands usually speak Dutch. Vicem answers each caller in their own language, in any of 37 languages, and says it’s an AI in that language too.
After hours and urgent calls
Vicem answers when the practice is closed, and when a caller says it’s urgent, it tells you right away. It can share the out-of-hours advice you give it.
For a real emergency, you can have Vicem tell callers to hang up and dial 112.
Appointments and requests
Vicem takes the appointment request: the patient, the reason and the times that suit them. Your team confirms the time.
