Facial Paralysis Evaluation
The intake questions for a facial paralysis evaluation, the areas they cover, and sample questions for practice staff.
The facial paralysis evaluation on this page is a typical set of intake questions about facial weakness, asked before an ENT visit. The questions are built from Queen Victoria Hospital's facial palsy referral proforma and the University of Michigan otolaryngology new patient questionnaire.
Facial paralysis evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a facial paralysis evaluation 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.

Facial paralysis evaluation: FAQ
What does a facial paralysis evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on Queen Victoria Hospital's facial palsy referral proforma and the University of Michigan otolaryngology new patient questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: onset, weakness, eyes, ears, other signs, and health history.
Is there a separate form for facial paralysis?
Queen Victoria Hospital in the UK has a facial palsy referral proforma, filled in by the referring clinician. The questions on this page reword its points for the patient.
Is it the same as a Bell's palsy evaluation intake?
Partly. The questions on this page are about facial weakness in general and do not depend on a diagnosis.
Who answers the facial paralysis evaluation questions?
The patient. Queen Victoria Hospital's proforma asks the referring clinician to attach the patient's medical history and medication list.
Is there a facial paralysis evaluation template?
The sample questions on this page show a typical set. They also draw on the eye and ear questions of the University of Michigan form.
Does it ask about the eyes?
Yes. Queen Victoria Hospital's proforma lists double vision among its points. The University of Michigan form lists double vision and eyelid redness or swelling.
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.
