I am generally very cynical about most AI startups but I think there's tons of room in this space -- it's an obvious fit, can provide simple workflows to solve pain points for both providers (your customers) and patients. Your model also builds inroads towards tons of extensible real-world applications in the healthcare world.
Worth noting Ambience Healthcare (and probably many others) approaching this space from a slightly different angle, while you're making the pre-intake forms more useful, they're transcribing the doctor-patient conversations.
Overall I think both approaches are solid. Be careful though as there's an increase in dark patterns around intake forms in the past couple years, I've noticed some concerning privacy practices. As a patient, this centers around being handed an iPad to fill out which contains an agreement that gives away a lot of the privacy of your health data. I expect more patients to start complaining about this practice and for it to eventually be clamped down on by some federal authority.
News articles have noted these privacy concerns around Phreezia[0], BetterHealth, and GoodRx so far. I doubt your group is headed that direction though -- most of the companies / business units who do that have a very limited business model that stops at "gather health data and either resell the data or use it internally to target advertisements", whereas your business appears to be strongly focused on creating real value for doctors and patients.
