About this app

ZigBuddy is the home health scheduling app for visiting clinicians. Built for PTs, OTs, SLPs, PTAs, OTAs, and home health nurses who see patients across town all day. Plan tomorrow in two minutes, drive less, and walk into every visit ready.

WHY HOME HEALTH WORKERS PICK ZIGBUDDY
Most route and scheduling apps were built for delivery drivers. ZigBuddy was built from day one for the way home health actually works — variable patient schedules, last-minute reschedules, mileage you have to track for taxes, notes you need at the door, and a calendar that doesn't lie to you.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Plan your day or week in minutes — drag visits onto the calendar, the route updates itself
• Drive less with smart routing — ZigBuddy orders your stops by time window and location
• Track every mile automatically — export tax-ready mileage reports to PDF or Excel
• Quick texts for every patient — save messages you send 50 times a week ("On my way", "Running late")
• Voice in, schedule out — talk a visit into the calendar instead of tapping through forms
• Track patient availability — set it once and stop asking again
• Week optimizer — turn a chaotic week into a smarter one in seconds
• Calendar sync that works — export to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, and Outlook
• Use it everywhere — iPhone, iPad, Mac, and more
• HIPAA-aligned safeguards — encryption in transit and at rest, BAAs available

BUILT FOR EVERY HOME HEALTH ROLE
• Physical Therapists (PT) and PT Assistants (PTA)
• Occupational Therapists (OT) and OT Assistants (OTA)
• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLP)
• Registered Nurses (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN)
• Home Health Aides (HHA)
• Medical Social Workers (MSW)

POWERED BY ZIGBUDDY AI
ZigBuddy AI handles the busywork — parse a patient list from a photo or paste, schedule a week from a few sentences, suggest the right visit to move when something breaks. You stay in control. Review and accept before anything changes.

Ratings and reviews

This is by far the best scheduling inpatient management app. I have used it for 7 years and absolutely love it. I have multiple Home Health contracts and the team of 17 and ptas working with me. I pay for an account for each of them. It is totally worth the cost to improve efficiency and to make sure we don't miss any of the re-evals. The team has anybody has been super responsive and added features that help connect several accounts together and they keep making the app better and better.

Been using since 2020 just now putting a review. I cant imagine doing home health without it (unless the price goes up) the new features once 8 get used to it seem like it will be even more of a time saver

ZigBuddy has made tremendous improvements, especially with its drop-in AI functionality. Everything feels faster, smoother, and more intuitive. As a clinician managing a high patient volume, this app is a must-have. It has significantly reduced the time I spend on organization and administrative tasks, helping me stay efficient and focused on patient care. Great app that keeps getting better with every update. Highly recommend!
