Fertility pre-operative history, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a fertility pre-operative history 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.

Fertility pre-operative history: FAQ
What does a fertility pre-operative history ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on the Patient Preoperative History form of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Fertility and Reproductive Medicine. This page groups them into six areas: past surgery, allergies, medications, medical conditions, anesthesia, and habits.
Who fills in the fertility pre-operative history, and when?
The patient. Northwestern Medicine asks new patients to return it with the health history form one week before the appointment.
Is it only for patients having surgery?
Not at Northwestern Medicine. Its fertility center lists it as a required new patient form and describes it as the medical history needed for the first appointment.
Does it ask about anesthesia?
Yes. The Northwestern form covers earlier anesthesia problems, airway and mouth questions, and sleep apnea alongside general health.
Does it ask about medicines?
Yes, every medicine with dose and frequency, including over-the-counter drugs, inhalers, herbals, supplements, and aspirin. The avatar records them and never tells a patient to stop or change a medicine.
What happens after the fertility pre-operative history is completed?
The practice's team reviews the answers. Decisions about anesthesia and the procedure follow the clinic's own protocol and physicians.
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.
