Egg Freezing Consent
What an egg freezing consent covers, who signs it, and the health questions asked before it.
The egg freezing consents described here, from Women & Infants Hospital and Regional One Health, cover retrieval, freezing, storage, and later use of the eggs. The health questions on this page come before the consent visit, where the physician leads the discussion.
Before the egg freezing consent: health questions, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, can collect the patient's health information before the egg freezing consent, in their own language. The consent discussion and the signature stay with the physician.
- 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.

Egg freezing consent: FAQ
What do clinics ask before an egg freezing consent?
The consent covers egg retrieval, freezing, and storage, and the health questions before it follow the Stanford Medicine Children's Health female patient questionnaire. This page groups them into six areas: periods, pregnancy history, medical history, surgeries, medications, and fertility treatment.
What does the consent cover?
The Women & Infants form covers fertility medications and monitoring, egg retrieval, freezing by vitrification, storage, and later use of the eggs. Regional One Health's consent covers freezing and storage too.
Who signs an egg freezing consent, and when?
At Women & Infants, the patient or a legal guardian signs, and a provider confirms the consent. The signature follows the consent discussion with the physician.
Can AI Doctor take the consent?
No. The avatar's part ends with the health questions, while the physician leads the consent visit and the patient signs the clinic's document.
What tests does an egg freezing consent mention?
Regional One Health's form mentions an FSH blood test and screening for HIV, hepatitis B and C, and syphilis. The Women & Infants form also refers to HIV and hepatitis testing.
Does the clinic ask about earlier fertility treatment?
Yes. The Stanford questionnaire asks about fertility medicines taken and any IUI or IVF attempts.
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.
