For practices treating pain patients

The pain questionnaire that's completed before the appointment

Standardised pain scales, history and triggers captured calmly at home — digitally, with proper scale question types. In the consulting room you start with assessment, not the clipboard.

Paper-based pain history — three weak spots

The clipboard in the waiting room

The patient ticks boxes hastily between the door and being called, the handwriting is illegible, half the pages stay blank. A pain history that needs care gets produced in five rushed minutes.

Scales work poorly on paper

An NRS scale ticked between 6 and 7, pain history as illegible scribbles. Standardised scales depend on unambiguous values — exactly what paper delivers worst.

Retyping eats staff time

Every paper form gets deciphered and transferred into the record by your staff — error-prone and expensive. Multiplied by every new pain patient, it's a silent full-time time sink.

From clipboard to structured pre-visit form

  1. 1

    Map your pain questionnaire digitally

    Pain location, intensity (0-10 scale), temporal course, character, triggers, previous therapies, medication — rebuild your proven questionnaire with real scale question types, or let AI generate a draft in 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Patient answers without waiting-room rush

    Link in the appointment confirmation, one question per screen, scales by tap. Anyone needing to think ("Since when exactly?") saves a draft and checks records at home — answers get more precise than any clipboard.

  3. 3

    Unambiguous values instead of scribbles

    Answers arrive structured and legible in your dashboard: scale values as numbers, history as clear statements. Your staff transfer them into the record without deciphering — and you enter the consultation prepared.

Question types a pain history needs

Scale questions (0-10)

Numeric pain scales as a native question type — unambiguous values instead of ticks between boxes.

Conditional logic

Headache detail questions only for headaches, back questions only for backs — the form stays focused.

Answer piping

Later questions pick up earlier answers ("You indicated knee pain — since when?") — like a good history-taking conversation.

Draft saving

Look up medication names, continue later — no data loss, no starting over.

Frequent questions on the digital pain form

Pain data is health data — is online collection even permissible?
Yes, with the right basis: pain data falls under Art. 9 GDPR and typically needs patient consent in the treatment context — which you build in as the first question. Questee covers the technical side: hosting in Germany, encrypted transfer, tenant-isolated storage and the Art. 28 GDPR DPA.
Can I rebuild established pain questionnaires digitally?
You can replicate the structure of your practice-proven questionnaire with scale, choice and free-text questions. For published, validated instruments, observe the rights holders' licence terms — many practices use their own surgery-adapted form anyway, which is exactly what Questee is for.
How is this different from the paper form in the waiting room?
Three things: timing, quality, effort. The patient completes it calmly at home instead of rushed before being called — answers get more complete. Scale values arrive as unambiguous numbers instead of illegible ticks. And your staff skip deciphering and retyping entirely.
Why not Google Forms or a PDF form?
Google Forms is a non-starter for health data — US provider, no practice-grade DPA, Art. 9 data outside the European legal space. Fillable PDFs fail practically: barely usable on phones, no scale interaction, and returning them by unencrypted e-mail is a privacy problem in itself.
Does the form diagnose or assess the pain?
No. The form structures what the patient reports — assessment, diagnosis and therapy are and remain your clinical task. Questee performs no medical evaluation and gives patients no recommendations; it's the digital clipboard, only better.
Does the form work for follow-up monitoring too?
Yes — many practices additionally use a short follow-up form before each subsequent appointment: current pain level, change since the last visit, medication effect. The same link, again and again — building a documented course across the whole treatment.
How do the answers get into our patient record?
Answers sit structured in the Questee dashboard, your staff get an e-mail notification and transfer the details into the record — legible and far quicker than deciphering paper. There is deliberately no direct interface to practice-management systems; webhooks are available for custom automation.
