Tele-Conference The app should also include face-to- face contact between patient and PCP based on appointment.

Contact a Health Care Provider Studies show that patients with Hepatitis C are more likely to contact a health care provider, clinical provider, or nurse than their physician. For that reason, our app should have a feature similar to that of ZocDoc, as the patient will be able to locate Hepatitis C specialists near them.

Search By specialty and location The patient will enter their zip code, reason for visit, and search for a local health care provider, certified in Hepatitis C treatment.

Contact a psychologist/psychiatrist Contacting your psychologist and psychiatrist is a vital part of this process, as the drugs may have damaging side effects that cause patients to quit treatment. In addition, we are trying to treat symptoms, if present. These screens will mimic that of the physician.physician

Finding Support Getting support from friends and family is vital to a patient’s recovery. However, it isn’t easy to break the news. I found 2 pdfs that will help the patient share information about HCV in the gentlest way possible, in addition to: /nextsteps-single-page.asp /nextsteps-single-page.asp

Patients in Your Area This feature of the app will probably be the hardest to develop, but probably the most beneficial to patients. It will allow patients to connect and discuss HCV on a personal level. Patients will have a profile in which they disclose information about themselves and seek guidance from others in their community.
