DEPICT HEALTH

DEPICT (Disease-specific E-Patient Illustrated Clinical Timeline) HEALTH was designed to improve communication for cancer patients.

 

The current DEPICT HEALTH instance is for the rare pediatric eye cancer retinoblastoma.

 

With consent, a DEPICT HEALTH account is crated for a retinoblastoma patient. Retinoblastoma healthcare providers, irrespective of geography, enter data at each clinical encounter. This includes data about treatment and outcomes. Patients (or their guardians) have real-time view-only access to their DEPICT HEALTH account and can share this access with others.

 

In this way, DEPICT HEALTH allows healthcare providers and patients to have the full view of a patient's treatment and follow-up, for life! This is vastly different than institution specific patient portals. DEPICT HEALTH is necessary to improve communication for all cancer patients especially patients cared for by large multi-jurisdictional teams and patients with heritable cancer.

​

DEPICT HEALTH was designed by internationally recognized clinician Dr. Brenda Gallie, award-winning Health Informatics Research team at the University Health Network (Toronto, Ontario). The International Retinoblastoma Consortium holds the exclusive license for DEPICT HEALTH and selected Toronto-based medical and healthcare product development studio Evenset to develop the DEPICT HEALTH consent and authentication manager.

​

We need funding to pilot DEPICT HEALTH in Canada. With strong pilot data, we will build a case for DEPICT HEALTH implementation globally.
