Hives Questionnaire

What a hives questionnaire asks, with sample questions on swelling, triggers, and past treatment.

The hives questionnaire on this page covers when hives started, what they look like, how long episodes last, and possible triggers. Its questions are based on the Allergy Hives/Swelling Questionnaire published by Allina Health.

Hives questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar

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

Clinician reviewing a patient's hives 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.

Hives questionnaire: FAQ

What does a hives questionnaire ask?

The sample questions on this page are based on the Allina Health Allergy Hives/Swelling Questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: hives history, swelling, pattern, triggers, past treatment, and earlier care.

Who answers a hives questionnaire, and when?

The patient, about their own hives. Each practice decides whether to send the questions before the visit or ask them at check-in.

Does it ask about ER visits and tests?

Yes. The Allina Health questionnaire asks whether the patient has been to the ER because of hives and whether they have had blood tests.

What if a patient mentions throat tightness or swelling?

AI Doctor records what the patient says and does not interpret it. The practice's own instructions and its team decide what happens next.

Is there a hives questionnaire template?

Allina Health publishes its Allergy Hives/Swelling Questionnaire as a one-page PDF. The sample questions on this page show a typical set.

What happens after the patient answers?

The practice's team reviews the answers before the visit. The avatar only collects them.

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.
