Consent is a dialogue not a form
"Consent feels less like a demand, and more like a conversation"
Unlike other solutions, we are unique in providing an entire consent management platform that covers all components of informed consent and has the ability to protect against over 90% of malpractice (consent) cases, not just the 5%, that other digital consent companies can with a
paperless consent form/leaflet.
You don't want to make a boring form. And your patients won't interact with one. Consent is a dialogue, not a form.
One question at a time like a conversation keeps your patients engaged. You get more thoughtful responses, and higher completion rates.
There's a better way to ask.
