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.

Support Groups

• http://www.hepatitis-central.com/hcv/support/main.html

• This is a wonderful website to incorporate into our app.

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: http://www.hepatitis.va.gov/patient/diagnosis/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.
