# Neck check-in

> Guided cervical symptom-history check-in with deterministic safety routing, save-and-resume, and clinician review.

# Neck check-in

**Neck check-in** is a guided **cervical symptom-history** flow a patient starts
from [Precision Rehab](/veridian-motion/precision-rehab) (**Start a new
assessment**). It collects structured history (114 questions), applies a
**deterministic, server-side safety gate** (no AI), and produces a
**non-diagnostic** patient summary. Clinician-only reasoning notes are stored
separately and **never sent to the patient's device**.

<Note>
  **Built / rolling out** on synthetic (pre-production) data. Confirm activation
  for your deployment. Status labels: **Built** capabilities below; **Roadmap**
  items are called out explicitly.
</Note>

## How a patient starts

1. Open **Precision Rehab**
2. Choose **Start a new assessment**
3. Complete the guided cervical symptom-history check-in

## Save & finish later

Patients can **save and resume** where they left off. The UI shows
**Question X of N** progress so they know how far they have gone.

## Deterministic safety gate (no AI)

Specific answers or red-flag words in free text are evaluated **server-side**
with **rules only** — no AI models.

| Route         | What the patient sees                                                               | System behavior                             |
| ------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| **Emergency** | A **locked screen** telling them to get help from staff or onsite medical **now**   | Patient **cannot continue** the check-in    |
| **Urgent**    | Direction to tell staff promptly through the facility's **medical-request** process | Check-in handling follows facility protocol |

Every safety trigger is written to the **audit log** with a **timestamp**.

## What patients and clinicians see

| Audience      | Content                                                                                                   |
| ------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Patient**   | A **non-diagnostic summary** only                                                                         |
| **Clinician** | Completed check-ins in a **staff review** view, plus **clinician-only reasoning notes** stored separately |

Clinician-only notes use **database-level separation** and are **never** delivered
to the patient portal or patient device.

## Roadmap

* Shorter **adaptive branching** (skip irrelevant sections)
* Other **body regions** beyond neck
* A **tap-the-sore-muscle** body map

## What it is not

* **Not a diagnosis** or clinical decision for the patient
* **Not** AI-scored symptom interpretation
* **Not** a claim of clinical efficacy or certification
