IVF Consent Form
What an IVF consent covers, who signs it, and the health questions asked before it.
The IVF consent described here, from Stanford Medicine Children's Health, covers the treatment plan, ICSI, embryo testing, and extra embryos. It's also called an ART informed consent.
Before the IVF consent form: 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 IVF 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.

IVF consent form: FAQ
What do clinics ask before an IVF consent?
The consent covers ICSI and embryo testing; the questions before it come from its treatment plan and Northwestern Medicine and Wake Forest Baptist Health forms. This page groups them into six areas: treatment plan, past treatment, health history, medications, surgery, and lifestyle.
Who signs an IVF consent, and when?
At Stanford, the patient and partner sign after the consent discussion with the physician. The physician also signs, and so does a translator when one is used.
Can AI Doctor take the IVF consent?
No. The consent discussion, the treatment choices, and the signature stay with the physician, and AI Doctor only gathers health information beforehand.
Is it the same as an embryo freezing consent?
Partly. At Stanford, the IVF consent covers extra embryos, and freezing them has its own separate consent.
Does it cover genetic testing of embryos?
It can. The Stanford form covers chromosomal screening and single-gene testing, and Reproductive Fertility Center lists a separate consent for embryo biopsy and PGS/PGD.
Is it one form or several?
Several at Reproductive Fertility Center, which lists separate consents for assisted reproductive techniques, ICSI, embryo biopsy, embryo freezing, and thawing and transfer.
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.
