What matters now
Describe the reason for review, changes over time and the goals you want addressed.
Prepare at your own pace
Help your geriatrician understand what has changed.
Before the appointment, you or an authorised carer can describe the main concerns, medicines, everyday function and goals. Your clinical team reviews the information before using it.

Guided onboarding
Useful information before the first conversation.
You choose what to share. GeriesConsult organises it for the authorised clinical team without treating unverified information as a confirmed diagnosis.
2
Medicines and history
Prepare current medicines, allergies, previous diagnoses, letters and investigations for verification.
3
Everyday function
Explain changes in memory, mobility, falls, self-care, home tasks, driving, mood and safety.
Chat or voice preparation
Choose the way that is easiest to explain your story.
The planned GeriesConsult assistant can guide patients and carers through the same approved intake questions by typing or speaking. It prepares a summary for clinical review; it does not replace a health professional.
- Clear, one-question-at-a-time conversation
- Patient and carer sources kept distinct
- Accessibility and language needs recorded
- Urgent safety answers routed to clear help instructions

How the assistant helps
I can type my answer or use the voice option.
Chat and voice intake will be activated after consent, escalation, retention and clinical response-time controls are approved.
Cognitive screening
A screening result is one part of the assessment—not a dementia diagnosis.
Where clinically appropriate and properly licensed, online cognitive tasks may help the clinician understand which domains need closer review. Results must be interpreted alongside history, function, examination, collateral information and investigations.
C
Testing context
Language, education, culture, hearing, vision, fatigue and technology can all affect performance.
D
Domain pattern
The clinician reviews attention, executive, visuospatial, language, memory and orientation findings—not only a total.
R
Clinical review
A geriatrician or other qualified clinician decides whether further assessment or investigation is required.
GeriesConsult chat, voice and screening tools do not diagnose dementia and do not determine legal capacity. If there is sudden confusion, new weakness, severe illness or immediate danger, call 000 or seek urgent medical care.
