Patient Portal

We’re excited to introduce the BADBIR Patient Portal, designed to make your clinic visits smoother and more convenient. The portal allows you to complete your questionnaires online—on your phone, tablet, or computer—before your clinic appointment. This means less time spent filling out paperwork during your visit, freeing up valuable staff time.

By completing your questionnaire online, you’re helping save approximately 70g of CO₂ for every visit—an easy way to reduce paper waste and support a greener future! Using the Patient Portal is optional. If you prefer to continue filling out paper questionnaires at your clinic visits, just let your clinician know, and we will accommodate your preference.

If you are a clinician looking for more information, please visit the Patient Portal information for clinicians page.
