Digital Patient Intake for Cardiology

Q: Can the conversation detect a cardiac emergency?

Yes. If the patient's answers suggest a possible emergency (for example, severe, sudden-onset chest pain), the conversation stops and the patient is directed to call 112 immediately, instead of continuing the intake.

Q: Can the cardiovascular risk fields be customized for my practice?

Yes, the question and field structure can be adjusted to match your clinic's specific protocol.

Q: Can elderly patients complete the conversation on their own?

Yes, or they can be helped by a family member, caregiver, or clinic staff, on a tablet in the waiting room.

Q: How long does the conversation take for a first cardiology consultation?

On average 6–8 minutes, slightly longer than a routine check-up, due to the number of risk factors covered.

Previza's conversation captures cardiovascular risk factors and exertional symptom patterns before the patient walks into the practice.

A cardiology consultation often starts with questions about smoking, blood pressure, cholesterol, and family history of heart disease — essential information for risk assessment, but time-consuming to collect properly during the visit. When time is tight, these questions risk being asked superficially or skipped altogether, and the doctor loses important context before interpreting a symptom like chest pain or palpitations. Previza structures these questions into a conversation the patient completes before the appointment, so risk factors and relevant history reach the doctor already organized.

What the Conversation Covers

Questions in the Cardiology Conversation

—What's the reason for the visit, and how long has the symptom been present?

—Does the symptom occur during exertion, at rest, or constantly?

—Does the patient smoke or has smoked? For how long, and how much?

—Has the patient been diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol?

—Is there a family history of heart attack, stroke, or sudden death at a young age?

—What cardiovascular medications is the patient currently taking, and for how long?

—Has the patient had prior cardiac tests — EKG, echocardiogram, coronary angiography?
