Post cardiac cath follow-up questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a post cardiac cath follow-up questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.
- 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.

When is a post cardiac cath follow-up questionnaire used?
After the patient goes home from a heart cath. National Jewish Health's handout says cath lab staff call about 24 hours after the procedure to see how the patient is doing.
Why does it ask about the limb used?
The catheter goes in through the groin or the arm. National Jewish Health's handout asks patients to report numbness, tingling, or pain in that limb.
Does the avatar decide if a symptom is urgent?
No. It collects the answers for the cath lab team, who decide what happens next.
Is there a post cardiac cath follow-up questionnaire template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set, based on the warning signs in the UW Medicine and National Jewish Health handouts.
What happens after the follow-up?
The cath lab team reads the answers and decides on any next step. UW Medicine's handout says follow-up visits are usually 2 to 4 weeks after discharge.
Does AI Doctor give medical advice?
No. It collects information for the care team. It doesn't diagnose, triage, or recommend treatment.
