Making paper forms a thing of the past

FormStream is our web-based e-forms (electronic forms) application. It supports the drive to make paper forms obsolete by enabling you to populate, save, process and upload forms in one move.

Developed by Voice Technologies in collaboration with the NHS, FormStream replaces the paper forms commonly used for information capture. Data entered into FormStream forms are saved, processed and uploaded to a patient’s record in one move so it is shared instantly.

FormStream eliminates the need to print, scan and upload paper forms, leaving time-consuming pen and paper trails in the past.
