Extract patient intake forms to structured JSON

Patient intake forms collect demographics, insurance details, medical history, and consent signatures. Every facility uses its own layout. Sensible extracts intake form data into validated JSON for EHR integration, insurance verification, and patient onboarding automation.

Why patient intake forms confuse standard parsers

Custom facility layouts, mixed handwriting, and checkbox-heavy medical history sections resist OCR.

Facility-Specific Layouts

Every clinic designs its own intake forms with different field ordering. Sensible adapts to any layout using LLM reasoning and SenseML.

Bundled Applications

Patients fill forms by hand. Sensible interprets handwriting and validation cross-checks values against expected formats.

Dense Checkbox Grids

Intake forms list conditions, medications, and allergies with checkboxes or yes/no fields. Sensible maps checked items to structured arrays.
