  • 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.
