Simple, elegant, and easy to use.

Apps and software in healthcare – whether for patients, doctors, or anyone else – aren't known for their simplicity or ease-of-use. We set out to build Avva Advocate with a firm belief that it's possible to create an application to help breast cancer patients that's simple, intuitive, and a pleasure to use. If you already use online tools or apps for social networking, finance, and others, you'll feel right at home using Avva Advocate. But even if you don't often use technology and don't yet feel comfortable in the world of apps and smartphones, Avva Advocate is still for you. Give it a try, and you'll see that using an app to help manage your treatment doesn't have to be complicated or intimidating.

Frequently asked questions just
got personal.

If you've already done some research about breast cancer on the Internet, then you know it's hard to find information that applies to you and your treatment situation. Generic informational resources can definitely be helpful, but printing out a long list of questions from the Internet and handing it to your doctor can sometimes be counter-productive if the majority of those questions don't apply to you and your doctor spends valuable visit time sifting through a generic list. Our approach is different: you see suggested questions that are specific to what you'll be discussing at your visit, and specific to your personal treatment situation. The result is that you come to the visit with a shorter but much more relevant list of questions.

Patient-powered and constantly improving.

Each time you use Avva Advocate, you're tapping into a community of breast cancer patients whose input is constantly evolving and improving our suggested questions. We keep track of how often questions are asked and make sure the most commonly asked questions rise to the top of our suggestions. And each time a patient asks a question that wasn't already in our suggestions, it will be saved anonymously as a suggestion for future patients. What you see when you go through our suggestions isn't a static list — you're seeing a list that's been shaped and improved by countless patients just like you who've already gone through the process.

A record of every visit, right at
your fingertips.

Recent studies have shown that it's common for patients to forget up to half of what the doctor tells them during an office visit. To help address this, doctors and patient advocates often recommend that patients bring a family member, close friend, or caregiver with them to each visit. This is excellent advice, and we recommend that you go one step further — bring Avva Advocate with you into the visit as well. You or your caregiver can save typed answers to your questions or record the conversation with your doctor during the visit. Then, anytime you need to recall important information from a past visit, you can easily look it up — it's all right there and neatly organized on your phone.
