Intrathecal Pump Evaluation
What an intrathecal pump evaluation asks, with sample questions on pain, past treatments, medicines, and visit logistics.
An intrathecal pump evaluation records a patient's pain, past treatments, medicines, implanted devices, and visit logistics before a pain team visit. These questions come from general OHSU and Stony Brook Medicine pain clinic forms and UW Medicine and Leeds Teaching Hospitals (UK) pump information.
Intrathecal pump evaluation, handled by the AI Doctor avatar
AI Doctor, a real-time AI healthcare assistant avatar, asks the questions on an intrathecal pump evaluation 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.

Intrathecal pump evaluation: FAQ
What does an intrathecal pump evaluation ask?
The sample questions on this page are based on general OHSU and Stony Brook Medicine forms and UW Medicine and Leeds Teaching Hospitals (UK) handouts. This page groups them into six areas: pain history, daily life, past treatments, pain medicines, health history, and visit logistics.
Who answers an intrathecal pump evaluation?
The patient. UW Medicine's baclofen pump handout describes a meeting with the patient about the pump, and these health and logistics questions fit that kind of visit.
Does it cover the pump trial?
No. Leeds Teaching Hospitals (UK) describes the trial as a test dose of the drug.
Does it ask about MRI scans?
One sample question does. The Leeds Teaching Hospitals (UK) leaflet has a section on MRI scans with a pump in place.
Does it decide who gets a pump?
No. That decision belongs to the pain team and the patient.
What happens after an intrathecal pump evaluation is completed?
The practice's team reads the answers before the visit. AI Doctor only collects them and gives no advice on medicines or on the pump.
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.
