Preconception counseling questionnaire, handled by the AI Doctor avatar

AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on a preconception counseling questionnaire in the patient's own language, strictly following the practice's instructions.

Clinician reviewing a patient's preconception counseling questionnaire answers collected by the AI Doctor avatar
  • 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.

Preconception counseling questionnaire: FAQ

What does a preconception counseling questionnaire ask?

The sample questions on this page are based on El Camino Health's Preconception Personal Assessment Questionnaire and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health preconception checklist. This page groups them into six areas: pregnancy plans, pregnancy history, medications, medical history, diet, and lifestyle.

Who fills in a preconception counseling questionnaire, and when?

The patient, before the first preconception appointment. El Camino Health asks patients to bring the completed form and review it with their doctor or midwife.

What is the questionnaire for?

El Camino Health says its questionnaire helps patients find questions to ask and areas where they want more information or resources.

Is it the same as a planning pregnancy checklist?

It can be. The Los Angeles County version is a checklist: the patient marks each question with a yes answer and fills in the details.

Does it ask about pets and the home?

Yes. The Los Angeles County checklist asks about pets, contact with soil, cat litter, or sandboxes, and a place for a baby to sleep.

Is there a preconception counseling questionnaire template?

The sample questions on this page show a typical set.

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.
