PRE-EXAMINATION MEDICAL DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A pre-examination patient information gathering system comprising:
- an electronic user interface (30, 130) including a display (32) and at least one user input device (34, 36); and
an electronic processor (50) configured to present an initial set of questions (54) to a patient via the electronic user interface, receive responses to the initial set of questions from the patient via the electronic user interface, construct or select follow-up questions (68) based on the received responses, present the constructed or selected follow-up questions to the patient via the electronic user interface, and receive responses to the constructed or selected follow-up questions from the patient via the electronic user interface.

Abstract
A pre-examination patient information gathering system comprises an electronic user interface (30, 130) including a display (32) and at least one user input device (34, 36), and an electronic processor (50) configured to present an initial set of questions (54) to a patient via the electronic user interface, receive responses to the initial set of questions from the patient via the electronic user interface, construct or select follow-up questions (68) based on the received responses, present the constructed or selected follow up questions to the patient via the electronic user interface, and receive responses to the constructed or selected follow up questions from the patient via the electronic user interface. A physiological sensor (70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80) may be configured to autonomously sense a patient physiological parameter as the patient interacts with the electronic user interface.
