- Instantly update phone numbers or addresses without reprinting
- Trackable interactions through digital sharing
- Easy sharing via WhatsApp, SMS, or email

For medical practitioners, a digital card goes beyond sharing a phone number. It serves as a mini clinic portal where patients can view consultation hours, access clinic locations via Google Maps, and book appointments directly.

- Embed Google Maps for accurate clinic navigation
- List medical specialties and clinic timings
- Enable 1-tap .VCF download for patients to save contact
