Patient IntakeAutomation
Registration, history and consent collected before the patient arrives, structured for your records system and reviewed by staff, not typed twice.
Patient Intake Automation: what the work involves
At many clinics, intake means a clipboard in the waiting room. Patients fill the same details they gave last time, handwriting is hard to read, receptionists retype forms into the system, and the doctor starts the consultation with an incomplete history. Phone bookings add another layer of repeated questions, and missing insurance or contact details surface only when billing fails.
We create a short, mobile-friendly intake flow sent by WhatsApp or SMS link after booking. It adapts questions to the visit type, accepts answers in Urdu or English, and lets patients photograph an ID card, insurance card or previous prescription, which OCR reads into fields for confirmation. Free-text complaints are summarised by a language model into a concise reason-for-visit note, with the patient's original words kept alongside. Red-flag phrases trigger a notice to staff but the system gives no medical advice. Data goes into your EMR, practice software or a secure database, and reception reviews incomplete or unusual entries before the visit.
Core features
Mobile pre-visit forms
Patients complete registration and history on their phone via a WhatsApp or SMS link, in Urdu or English.
Adaptive questions
The form shows only relevant questions for the visit type, keeping it short and reducing abandoned forms.
ID and card reading
Photos of ID cards, insurance cards or old prescriptions are read by OCR and presented for the patient to confirm.
Reason-for-visit summary
Free-text complaints become a concise note for the clinician, with the patient's original words preserved.
Consent capture
Treatment, data-use and communication consents are recorded with time and version for your files.
Records system sync
Confirmed data flows into your EMR or practice software, avoiding retyping at reception.
What we get right before launch
Health data privacy
Intake collects sensitive information, so we minimise what is asked, encrypt it, restrict staff access by role, and keep it out of general chat channels beyond a secure link.
No clinical advice from the form
A patient who describes chest pain should not be told to wait for an appointment. Red-flag phrases show an emergency message and alert staff, though the system never triages or reassures.
Access for less digital patients
Older patients and those without smartphones must not be excluded. A reception tablet and an assisted paper route stay available, feeding the same system.

Common questions, answered
Does the system give patients medical advice?
No. It collects information and summarises it for staff. Phrases suggesting an emergency trigger a standard message to call emergency services or the clinic, and an alert to your team, but nothing beyond that.
Can patients use it in Urdu?
Yes. Forms and prompts can be bilingual, and free-text answers in Urdu or Roman Urdu are summarised. Clinical wording should be checked by your staff before a template goes live.
How is the WhatsApp link kept secure?
Messages carry only a short-lived link to a secure form, not health details. WhatsApp template rules apply for first contact, and patients must have agreed to be contacted that way.
Will it work with our existing software?
If your system offers an API or import route, usually yes. Otherwise we can deliver structured data as a file or into a secure dashboard, and agree the route before development starts.
