Team Biographies
What Was Accomplished
To ease the stress and anxiety of managing breast cancer, the team at the University of California, San Francisco designed a calendar that integrates details of breast cancer patients’ treatment schedules with their personal schedules to help them better understand and proactively coordinate their care. The application’s components integrated a range of data - upcoming doctor’s appointments, diagnostic tests, etc. - into patients’ own electronic appointment calendars and provided a series of links and prompts with additional information. Using Project HealthDesign’s specifications, the team mapped data and treatment projections to the calendar, thus demonstrating the ability to get data, code them, represent them, and push them out to existing electronic calendars.
