The agent replaces multi-page paper forms with a guided conversation that collects patient history, cognitive concerns, medications, and referral information one question at a time. This approach increases completion rates, reduces errors from illegible handwriting, and delivers structured data to clinicians before the assessment appointment begins.

Yes. Tars connects with EHR platforms including Athenahealth, DrChrono, and AdvancedMD through direct APIs, Zapier, or webhooks. Intake data collected by the agent can be pushed directly into patient records, eliminating manual transcription and ensuring clinical staff have complete background information at the point of care.

Tars is fully HIPAA compliant with SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR, and ISO certifications. All patient responses, including sensitive cognitive health and medical history data, are encrypted in transit and at rest. Tars supports Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) for covered entities that require them.

The agent can present standardized screening questions in a conversational format. However, it functions as a data collection tool rather than a clinical instrument. Scoring and interpretation remain the responsibility of the licensed neuropsychologist. The agent ensures that screening responses are captured consistently and accurately for clinical review.

The agent uses simple language, short questions, and a one-at-a-time presentation format that is more accessible than dense paper forms. For patients who require assistance, a family member or caregiver can complete the intake on their behalf. The conversation can also be paused and resumed later if the patient needs breaks.

Practices that conduct cognitive evaluations for memory disorders, ADHD assessments, traumatic brain injury evaluations, learning disability testing, and forensic neuropsychological examinations all benefit from automated intake. Any practice that currently mails or emails intake packets to patients before appointments can improve completion rates and data quality with a conversational agent.

Most practices configure and launch the agent within a week. The setup involves mapping your existing intake questionnaire into the conversational format, connecting your EHR or practice management system, and embedding the agent on your website or patient portal. No technical expertise is required from your clinical staff.

Yes. The agent supports conditional branching, so patients referred for ADHD evaluation receive different intake questions than those referred for dementia screening or post-concussion assessment. Your clinical team defines the branching rules, ensuring that each patient provides the specific background information relevant to their evaluation type.
