Formbox (formerly Aidbox Forms)
Form building and structured data capturing with Formbox
Formbox was previously known as Aidbox Forms.
The product has been renamed to reflect updated deployment options. The functionality remains the same.
Formbox is a platform for building, managing, and running digital healthcare forms with FHIR-based structured data capture.
It follows the HL7 FHIR Structured Data Capture (SDC) Implementation Guide , supporting standard Questionnaire and QuestionnaireResponse workflows, including structured data extraction and population.
Deployment Options
Formbox can be used in two configurations.
1. Formbox as a Standalone Product
Formbox can run independently as a dedicated form management platform.
In this configuration, it provides:
- No-code Form Builder
- Form Renderer
- Form Gallery
- PDF-to-digital form conversion
- Workflow automation
- Form and response storage
- FHIR-aligned data model
- Embedding via REST API or web components
Formbox can integrate with external FHIR servers and terminology services.
Pre-fill and data extraction workflows are supported by reading from and writing to external FHIR servers in accordance with FHIR SDC.
In this setup, SQL-on-FHIR analytics can be performed on stored QuestionnaireResponse data.
2. Formbox as an Aidbox Module
Formbox can also be deployed as a module of Aidbox.
In this configuration, Formbox uses Aidbox as the underlying FHIR server and provides access to full FHIR server capabilities, including:
- Native FHIR storage
- Pre-fill and data extraction workflows (data is read from and written directly to Aidbox)
- SQL-on-FHIR and advanced querying across FHIR resources
- Full FHIR API support
In this setup, SQL-on-FHIR analytics can be performed across all FHIR resources stored in Aidbox, not only QuestionnaireResponse data.
The form-building and rendering capabilities remain the same in both deployment models.
The difference lies in where and how FHIR data is stored and processed.

Additional Resources
Formbox components can also be explored independently.
Open-Source Formbox Renderer
Formbox includes a headless rendering engine that supports flexible UI customization through themes and design systems.
It can be used independently of the full platform.
The renderer is available as an open-source project:
Public Form Builder
If you want to explore the Form Builder without installing Formbox or deploying an instance, you can use the public environment:
