Pre-appointment paperwork shouldn't start in the waiting room
Doctors collect detailed patient information before every visit - health history, current medications, allergies, reason for visit. Most practices have intake documents that work well. The friction is getting patients to complete them before the appointment rather than on a clipboard at the front desk.
Doc2Form converts existing intake documents into Google Forms. Upload a PDF or Word file up to 5 MB and it detects the fields - text areas, checkboxes, yes/no questions, dropdowns - and builds the matching form in your Drive. Include the link in appointment confirmation messages.
No document ready? Describe mode works too: type a brief description of your intake questions and get a starting form to review.
Your data stays in your Google account
Every form Doc2Form creates is a standard Google Form. It lives in your Drive and responses stay within your account - not stored by Doc2Form after the conversion. You control sharing settings and access.
For clinical data collection, review your obligations under applicable privacy and data protection regulations before using any digital collection tool for patient information.
Common questions
Is patient data secure?
Doc2Form uses Google OAuth. Uploaded documents are processed to build the form and not stored afterward. Responses go directly into your Google Drive under your account's settings.
Can patients fill out the form without a Google account?
Yes. Google Forms can be shared as open links that anyone fills out without signing in.
Can it handle multi-section intake packets?
Yes. Documents with clear section headings produce forms with corresponding sections. Well-structured source documents improve accuracy.
Does it cost anything?
The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for practices that prefer to self-host.
