The Need for a Comprehensive Communication Tool for Patients, Families, Schools, Hospital Educators, and the Medical Team
Overview

Similar to communication tools used by schools and apps used by diabetic patients and their extensive care team, we’d like to create a communication tool for chronically ill children where patients can easily communicate their daily status with their network of school teachers, hospital school teacher, and medical team allowing everyone the ability to follow up accordingly. During the roundtable discussion, we’d like to explore important and required design features of a comprehensive communication tool.
