Data Capture

Collect intake questionnaire responses during the appointment call instead of waiting for forms

An AI receptionist asks your custom intake questions conversationally during booking, captures responses, and delivers them to your staff in a structured format ready for EMR filing.

How it pays back

Intake questionnaires are completed before the appointment, not during it

Patients finish intake while booking their visit. No waiting room delays, no tablet kiosks backing up, no clinical staff re-asking questions. Your provider walks into the exam room with a completed intake summary ready for review.

Every questionnaire response is captured exactly as the patient answered it

The AI records the conversation and your staff can review the exact wording if they need to clarify or escalate a response. Reduces misinterpretation and supports better clinical decision-making.

Questionnaire data is organized and ready for your staff to file into your EMR

Instead of transcribing answers from paper or email, your staff receives labeled, structured responses. Filing takes seconds, not minutes. Reduces transcription errors and speeds up chart preparation.

Questions are tailored to your practice and patient type

Whether you need allergy screening, medication reconciliation, symptom detail, or specialty-specific questions, the AI asks them in order and captures responses consistently. Every patient is asked the same questions in the same way.

Frequently asked questions

How does the AI know what questions to ask?

Your practice configures a question set during setup. You can import questions from your EMR's intake form, or build a custom list. The AI asks your configured questions in the order you specify, conversationally integrated into the appointment-booking call.

What if a patient refuses to answer a question or gives a vague response?

The AI may ask follow-up questions to clarify, or it notes the incomplete response in the summary it returns to your staff. Your staff can see which questions were skipped or unclear and can follow up during the first visit or by phone.

Can the AI ask different questions based on the patient's age, gender, or reason for visit?

Yes. You can configure conditional logic so that certain questions only trigger based on the patient's responses or appointment type. For example, medication questions for primary care appointments, but not for routine dental cleanings.

Are questionnaire responses automatically filed into my EMR?

Responses are returned to your staff as a structured, EMR-ready summary. Your staff reviews the summary and files it into the patient's chart using your EMR's standard process. Clinical documentation remains under your control.

How are questionnaire responses stored and protected?

All responses are encrypted, stored in HIPAA-compliant systems, and tied to the patient's record. Your staff can retrieve responses via the MedReception portal or EMR. Call recordings are indexed and searchable by your team.
