Smart digital forms

AI-Powered Patient Intake Forms That Pre-Fill Themselves

Patients hate paper intake. They hate the clipboard, the tiny boxes, the repeated demographics, the insurance card photocopier, and the unreadable medication list. Most practices still ask returning patients to fill the same 6 pages they filled last visit. Our AI intake forms remember the patient, pre-fill every field from prior visits, ask only what changed, accept voice input for phone callers, render in 30 languages, capture HIPAA e-signatures, and upsert the structured data straight into your EHR.

Field-type library

Every Intake Field Your Practice Actually Needs

OCR auto-extracts member ID, group, payer name
Real-time eligibility check via Change Healthcare
Secondary and tertiary policy fields, gated by conditional
Subscriber relationship and subscriber demographics
Workers comp, MVA, and lien attorney fields when applicable

Medications and Allergies

RxNorm-backed medication autocomplete
Dose, frequency, and route as separate structured fields

Reason-for-visit free text with symptom autocomplete

Pre-fill engine

Returning Patients Should Never Re-Type What You Already Have

The biggest reason patients abandon digital intake is being asked the same questions for the fourth time. Our pre-fill engine pulls every field the EHR already has, presents it for one-tap confirmation, and only prompts free typing for fields that are missing or stale.

Sources We Pre-Fill From

Prior-visit demographics from your EHR
Active medication list via FHIR or vendor API
Allergy list and reactions from last reconciliation
Insurance on file with policy still active flag
Pharmacy of choice from Surescripts
Prior screening scores for trend display

What Patients See

"Is this still your address?" with tap-to-confirm
Medication list with "still taking, stopped, changed dose" buttons
Allergy list with "no change since last visit" shortcut
Insurance card thumbnail with "use card on file" option
Skip-ahead to the fields that actually changed
Average completion time of 3 minutes for returning patients

Voice-to-form for callers

When the Patient Calls, the Form Fills Itself

Not every patient will tap through a form. The elderly, the busy, and the frustrated all still call the office. Our AI receptionist asks the intake questions in natural conversation, normalizes the spoken answers into structured fields, and writes them into the same form record the front desk and clinician will see.

Spoken Demographics

The agent confirms name spelling letter by letter, parses spoken DOB into a date field, and reads back the address for verification before saving.

Spoken Symptoms and ROS

Patient says "my back has been hurting for three weeks." The agent maps to the chief complaint field, captures onset and duration, and flags red-flag symptoms automatically.

SMS Follow-Up for Missing Fields

When the call ends, the patient gets an SMS link to a short form containing only the fields the voice agent could not capture, such as insurance card photos.

Smart conditional logic

Show the Patient Only the Questions That Apply

Paper forms ask every patient every question. A pregnant 28 year old gets asked about prostate symptoms. A 6 year old gets asked about menstrual history. Our conditional engine prunes the form in real time based on the patient's age, sex, visit type, prior diagnoses, and answers given so far.

Conditional Triggers

Age and sex gating for sex-specific ROS sections
Visit type drives specialty intake bundles
Yes-answer triggers reveal nested follow-ups
Chronic-condition flags expand relevant history
Insurance type unlocks payer-specific consent forms
State of residence drives mandated disclosure forms

Real Form Shrinkage

New patient intake averages 47 questions on paper
Our engine shows an average of 19 to most patients
Returning patient intake averages 8 confirmation taps
Specialty bundles add only the fields that specialty needs
Skipped sections never see the patient at all
Median completion time dropped from 22 min to 6 min

EHR upsert

Structured Data Lands in the Right EHR Field, Not a PDF Attachment

Most "digital intake" vendors just attach a PDF to the chart. Staff still has to retype every field. Our forms write structured data through FHIR R4 endpoints, vendor APIs, or scripted UI automation, so the medication list lands in the medication list, the allergies land in the allergy module, and the demographics update the patient header.

Deployment timeline

From Paper to Pre-Filled in 4 Weeks

Week 1: Form Audit

We collect every paper form your practice currently uses, map each field to our structured library, and identify the conditional rules.

Week 2: EHR Wiring

We connect to your EHR, validate field-level reads and writes against a test patient, and configure the pre-fill sources.

Week 3: SMS and Kiosk

We wire SMS link delivery for pre-visit completion, kiosk mode for walk-ins, and the voice-to-form pathway for phone callers.

Week 4: Go Live

Staff training, pilot week with 20% of patients, then full cutover. Paper forms get archived, not reprinted.
