Sports Physical Form

What a sports physical form asks, why each part matters, and how practices collect it.

A sports physical form is the health history an athlete fills in before a sports physical, with a parent if under 18. It's also called a preparticipation physical evaluation (PPE) history form.

Sports physical form, handled by the AI Doctor avatar

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

Clinician reviewing a patient's sports physical form 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.
