AI for Patient Intake Forms
Design patient intake forms with AI that capture clinical signal without becoming an unfillable wall of text.

The premise
Long intake forms cause incomplete data and rushed appointments. AI can help cut a 60-question intake to the 20 that actually change clinical decisions — but the cuts have to be reviewed by the clinician who uses the answers.
What AI does well here
- Cluster questions by which downstream decisions they actually inform
- Spot redundant questions across forms
- Translate medical jargon into patient-readable language
- Generate conditional branches so patients only see relevant questions
What AI cannot do
- Decide which questions are clinically essential
- Make HIPAA-compliance design decisions about storage and consent
- Replace the clinician's review of the final form
