Hyperhidrosis Questionnaire
What a hyperhidrosis questionnaire asks, the areas it covers, and sample questions for practice staff.
The hyperhidrosis questionnaire on this page covers when excessive sweating started, where and how often it happens, family history, daily life, and treatments tried. The International Hyperhidrosis Society publishes a Hyperhidrosis History Questionnaire for patients to complete before an appointment.
Hyperhidrosis questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a hyperhidrosis 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.

Hyperhidrosis questionnaire: FAQ
What does a hyperhidrosis questionnaire ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on the International Hyperhidrosis Society's Hyperhidrosis History Questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: onset, body areas, pattern, family history, daily life, and past treatments.
Who fills in a hyperhidrosis questionnaire, and when?
The patient, before the appointment. The International Hyperhidrosis Society suggests printing its questionnaire, writing down the answers, and sharing them with the healthcare provider.
Which sweating does the form ask about?
The International Hyperhidrosis Society form asks patients to think about sweating that is not linked to exercise, stress, or heat.
Does the form ask about past treatments?
Yes. It asks what the patient has tried, such as over-the-counter products, prescriptions, devices, or procedures, and how satisfied they were with each.
Is there a hyperhidrosis questionnaire template?
The International Hyperhidrosis Society publishes its questionnaire as a printable PDF with space for a practice label. The sample questions on this page show a typical set.
What happens after the questions are answered?
The practice's team reviews the answers before the visit. If a patient mentions night sweats or other symptoms, the team decides what happens next; the avatar 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.
