Cardio-Oncology Questionnaire

What a cardio-oncology questionnaire asks, where its questions come from, and who reviews the answers.

One published version of a cardio-oncology questionnaire, built for breast cancer patients in Australia, records heart risk factors, habits, and well-being before chemotherapy. Clark and colleagues described it in 2017; it combines heart disease risk and cardiotoxicity risk questions.

Cardio-oncology questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar

AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a cardio-oncology questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.

Clinician reviewing a patient's cardio-oncology questionnaire answers collected by the AI Doctor avatar
  • Intake before the visit. Patients answer online before they arrive, or at a kiosk when they check in.
  • Answers ready for the clinician. Clinicians see what the patient said before the visit starts.
  • Less workload at the front desk. Staff spend less time handing out forms and entering answers by hand.
  • Key details at a glance. The care team sees what matters up front and decides who needs attention first.

The form becomes a natural conversation: patients answer by talking, in their own words. AI Doctor is an information and patient-assistance interface. It collects answers for the care team to review. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or give treatment advice.

Cardio-oncology questionnaire: FAQ

What does a cardio-oncology questionnaire ask?

One published version, by Clark and colleagues in 2017, asks about heart risk factors, habits, and well-being. The sample questions on this page cover six of its areas: health conditions, family history, diet, habits, activity, and well-being.

Who fills in a cardio-oncology questionnaire?

In Clark and colleagues' pilot, patients with a new breast cancer diagnosis completed it while waiting for chemotherapy, with a research assistant on hand.

Does it ask about cancer treatment?

In Clark and colleagues' pilot, diagnosis and chemotherapy details came from medical records, not from the patient. Each clinic decides what treatment questions to add.

Is it the same as a cardiotoxicity risk intake?

Partly. Clark and colleagues' version puts heart disease risk questions and cardiotoxicity risk questions in one questionnaire.

Is there a cardio-oncology questionnaire template?

The article describing it is open access. The sample questions on this page show a typical set and do not copy it.

What happens to the answers on mood and support?

The care team reviews them with the rest of the answers and decides on any follow-up. AI Doctor only collects the answers.

Does AI Doctor give medical advice?

No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.

Can patient answers stay on our own servers?

Yes. RAVATAR offers on-prem deployment: the platform can run inside your own perimeter, so patient answers stay there. RAVATAR complies with GDPR and the EU AI Act.
