Workflow

Capture intake questionnaire responses by voice during the call instead of mailing forms to patients.

AI conducts natural intake conversations, capturing all questionnaire data on the call. Patients never see a form—they hear questions and speak answers. Staff gets clean, structured data immediately.

How it pays back

Forms Completed on the Call

Patients don't fill out paper forms in the waiting room or at home. The intake questionnaire is part of the call—natural, conversational, faster than reading a form.

Higher Engagement Than Portal Forms

Patients who ignore email links or printed forms will answer questions verbally during a live call. Voice interaction encourages participation compared to asynchronous forms.

Immediate Data Review for Staff

Responses come back structured and labeled, so your intake coordinator or nurse can review them right away. No deciphering handwriting or chasing down incomplete forms.

Better Patient Experience

Patients perceive phone intake as a consultation, not paperwork. They hear questions in a professional tone, speak naturally, and feel attended to—not like they're filling out a DMV form.

Conversational intake design

Natural question flow adapted to patient responses, not rigid form order

Structured output

Responses organized by category (medical history, medications, allergies, etc.) for easy staff review

Bilingual intake

Conduct questionnaire in patient's preferred language—English or Spanish

Custom questionnaire configuration

Tailor intake questions to your specialty and practice needs

Frequently asked questions

How is voice-based intake different from a patient filling out a paper form?

Voice-based intake is conducted by the AI during the call—it's conversational and adaptive. The AI adjusts follow-up questions based on patient answers. Paper forms are static and often incomplete. Voice capture is faster, more natural, and feels more personal to the patient.

Can the AI skip questions if a patient says 'not applicable'?

Yes. The AI understands context and can skip irrelevant questions. For example, if a male patient is calling a gynecology practice by mistake, the AI will recognize this and not ask gender-specific questions. It's smart intake, not a rigid checklist.

What happens if the patient doesn't want to answer a question?

The AI respects patient preferences and notes in the summary which questions were declined. Staff can follow up at check-in if needed. The summary clearly shows what information is missing.

Where do questionnaire responses go?

Responses are returned as a structured summary for staff to review. Your clinical team decides what information enters the patient chart and confirms accuracy before filing. This keeps a human in the loop for all clinical data.

Can we use this for follow-up appointments, not just new patients?

Yes. Returning patients can update their medical history, medications, allergies, or insurance during the call. The AI asks only what might have changed, then returns an update summary for staff verification.
