Consent forms signed before the patient sits down.
Attach a consent form to a treatment and Timeo asks the patient to sign it before the visit, on their own phone or on a tablet at the counter.
Paper consent slows the counter down
Clipboards, pens and a stack of forms at reception mean patients fill in the same health questions every visit, staff retype them, and the signed sheet ends up in a folder nobody can find when a question comes up later.
Worse, a busy day makes it easy to start a treatment before the right form was signed. You only notice when you go looking for it.
How consent works in Timeo
Build forms under Settings > Consent forms. Start from a template such as Treatment consent, Health declaration or Photo release, from your existing customer questionnaire, or from a blank form, and add questions: short answers, choices, yes or no, dates, an agreement, or a body diagram where the patient marks areas.
Mark which services each form is required before. When a patient is booked for one of them, staff can send the signing link by WhatsApp from your own number or by email, or hand over a tablet with Sign on this device.
Every form ends with a drawn signature and the patient's full name, and Timeo keeps a PDF on the patient's record. If someone tries to finish a visit with a form still unsigned, Timeo stops them with Consent not signed, offering Sign now or Finish anyway, and records the choice.
Set up your first consent form
- Open Settings > Consent forms and press New form.
- Name it, choose where to start (a template, your questionnaire or Blank form), and add or edit the questions.
- Under Required before, pick the services that need this form, then publish it.
- On a booked visit, use Send link or Sign on this device in the Consent card.
What patients see
A short page titled Before your visit, one form at a time, with a box to sign with a finger or mouse and their full name typed underneath.
When they finish they see All signed and can download a copy of the signed form as a PDF. A link stays valid until a week after the visit.
Questions
Can patients sign on their own phone?
Yes. Send the link by WhatsApp or email and they sign before they arrive. A tablet at the counter works too, with Sign on this device.
What templates are included?
Treatment consent, Health declaration and Photo release, plus a blank form and a copy of your customer questionnaire.
Where is the signed copy kept?
A PDF is stored on the patient's record under Consent forms, with the date it was signed.
What stops a treatment going ahead without consent?
Finishing a visit that still needs a form shows Consent not signed. Staff can sign it then, or choose Finish anyway, and that choice is recorded.
Can I change a form later?
Yes. Field changes wait until you press Publish, which makes a new version. Forms patients already signed stay on their record as signed.
