How to sign an informed consent online
Informed consent is a required step before many treatments. Collecting it digitally speeds up the visit and avoids piling up paper forms.
Is digital consent valid?
As a private agreement between the professional and the patient, electronic signatures are valid. It's worth checking your professional board's and country's requirements, since some specialties have specific rules.
How to do it
Upload the consent PDF, enter the email or hand it over on a tablet, and the patient signs with their finger and confirms with a code. The document is signed with its audit trail.
Smoother for your practice
The patient signs before the appointment or at reception, with no paperwork, and you keep every consent documented and easy to find.
Frequently asked questions
Is an informed consent signed online valid?
Yes, as long as the patient could read the full information before signing and there's a record of that acceptance. The audit trail documents who signed, when and from where — exactly the traceability consent requires.
How does a clinic or practice use it?
Upload the consent form as a PDF, place the patient's signature area, enter their email and send it ahead of the appointment. The patient reads it calmly at home and arrives with consent already signed, with no paperwork at reception.
Where is the signed consent stored?
The signed PDF, with its certificate page, is available to download from the dashboard. Because it includes the original document's SHA-256 fingerprint, you can prove at any time that the archived file is exactly the one that was signed.
