Design & implementation of an automated questionnaire.
This paper describes a system which allows the patient to answer a structured questionnaire in private, at their own speed and without pressure using a touch-screen personal computer. A clinical report is generated immediately and used to help guide a clinician in a face to face consultation with the patient. Trials in a clinical setting have shown a positive response by both patients and clinicians.
