HeartOpinion

Functionality & Mechanism

This communication platform, developed by Boston Children's Hospital, facilitates the initiation of a second opinion consultation for cardiac conditions. The system provides a structured intake portal for users to register an account and submit a narrative medical history and specific queries related to their condition. This initial submission is then reviewed by the clinical team at the Benderson Family Heart Center. The platform's workflow concludes with the clinical team making direct contact with the user to formally begin the process of collecting relevant medical records for the consultation.

Intended Use & Scope

It functions as an initial point of contact and information submission portal to begin a formal clinical consultation. This app is intended for informational/educational purposes and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
