For orthopaedic practices

The medical history form that arrives before the waiting room

Pain location, pre-existing conditions, existing imaging — your patient completes the form calmly at home. Legible, complete, no clipboard scrawl.

Recognise this from your practice?

Clipboard histories are illegible

The patient scribbles on their knee in the waiting room, the tick for "pain region" lands between two boxes, and "current medication" says "see list" — which never arrived. Your assistant deciphers and retypes it all.

Imaging only surfaces in the consulting room

Whether an MRI, X-ray or CT already exists often only comes up mid-consultation — "the CD is still at home". The appointment ends with "bring it next time" instead of an assessment.

Waiting-room time eats consultation time

New patients arrive 15 minutes early to fill in paper — and still overrun. If one is late, the whole morning slips because the history is still missing.

How it works with Questee

  1. 1

    Set up your digital history form

    Build your form once: pain location as a selection, pain intensity as a scale, pre-existing conditions, previous surgery, medication, existing imaging. With AI support the draft is ready in 30 seconds — you refine it clinically.

  2. 2

    Patient completes it at home

    The link goes out with the appointment confirmation. One question per screen, on the phone too, with draft saving — anyone who needs to find their medication list can resume later. Conditional logic only shows surgery questions if there was surgery.

  3. 3

    A legible history before the appointment

    Answers are structured and legible before the patient arrives. You see in advance that an MRI exists and can remind them to bring it. The appointment starts with examination, not interrogation.

Built for health data

Hosted in Germany + DPA

Art. 9 GDPR health data stays on German servers — Art. 28 DPA included, no US cloud.

Conditional logic

Questions on surgery, implants or imaging only appear when a previous answer calls for them — short form for simple cases.

Pain scales

Pain intensity 0-10 as a scale question — documented comparably instead of scrawled freely.

Save & resume

Patients can pause and resume via the same link — important when reports or medication lists need finding first.

E-mail notification

The practice is notified as soon as a form arrives — your team checks completeness before the appointment.

Your practice branding

Your practice logo and colours (Pro) — the form feels like part of your practice, not a third-party tool.

Priced for a practice

Free to try (3 forms, 100 responses/month). Pro for daily practice use: €12/month (€9 annually), unlimited forms, your branding, AI included.

Questions from orthopaedic practice

Are we even allowed to collect health data via an online form?
Yes, with the right basis: health data is a special category under Art. 9 GDPR and requires explicit consent, which you can collect directly in the form. Questee hosts exclusively in Germany, provides the Art. 28 GDPR DPA and transfers data encrypted. As usual, align the assessment for your practice with your data protection officer.
How is this different from the paper form in the waiting room?
Three things: the form arrives completed before the patient does — no waiting-room quarter hour. It is legible and complete because required fields cannot be skipped. And it is smart: conditional logic only asks the questions relevant to the case, instead of two pages of "if applicable".
We use Doctolib for appointments — is that not enough?
Doctolib is strong at appointment booking but not a flexible form builder: you cannot freely build an orthopaedic history form with pain scales, branching logic and your own clinical questions there. Questee complements it — the form link simply goes into your appointment confirmation, whatever you use for scheduling.
How do the answers get into our records?
Answers sit structured in the Questee dashboard and can be exported or passed to your own systems via webhook. There is deliberately no direct interface to practice management systems — you keep control over what enters the patient record and how.
What about older patients without a smartphone?
The form runs on any device with a browser — including a relative's laptop. And paper remains the fallback: even if half your new patients complete it digitally in advance, it noticeably relieves front desk and consultations. Large type and one question per screen particularly help less tech-savvy patients.
Can patients upload their reports or images?
Yes — via file upload patients can attach the written MRI report or referral letters, for example. Note: this does not replace DICOM transfer into your imaging archive, but gives you a picture of the history in advance. The medical assessment naturally stays with you.
How quickly is such a form ready to use?
With AI generation you describe your form in one sentence and get a draft with suitable question types in about 30 seconds. You then review and sharpen it clinically — realistically the form is done in one quiet afternoon and in every appointment confirmation from the next day.
