In oncology, consultations are more than just a medical exchange – they are conversations that are laced with anxiety, urgency, and hope. And every day, oncologists guide the patients and their families through one of their most emotionally charged phases, helping them make decisions and navigate their cancer journeys. These decisions come from years of experience and instinct, qualities that no algorithm can replicate.
Yet, with heavy caseloads and limited time, doctors often find it challenging to balance clinical precision with the compassion that patients desperately need. As a result, many patients and caregivers leave the consultations confused and uncertain, with unanswered questions, despite the advances in technology promising simpler solutions. Studies reveal a striking truth: up to 80% of medical information given during a consultation is forgotten immediately, and nearly half of what is recalled is incorrect.
Artificial intelligence has undoubtedly revolutionized data analysis, speeding up scans and suggesting treatment pathways. But AI tools still struggle to provide truly personalized care, limiting generic recommendations rooted in the available datasets. Ultimately, it falls short where human connection is required. Consider this – the human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text alone, and approximately 65% of people prefer visual learning style over auditory and experiential methods. This is where MyCareGorithm steps in to help.
Created specifically for oncology, MyCareGorithm has the single purpose of transforming the consultation encounter. It bridges the gap between raw medical data and the nuanced, deeply personal decisions that define cancer care. It is not designed to replace oncologists, but to empower them by reshaping complex information into clear, concise, and context-aware insights.
Why MyCareGorithm though?
- For patients
- Enhanced understanding and confidence
- Reduced stress
- Better decisions
- For providers
- Enhanced satisfaction
- Efficient in saving hours
- Improved teamwork
- Support in tailored treatment
With its intuitive visual and structured interface, doctors can deliver evidence-based explanations within the limited timeframes. This multimedia tool ensures that patients are properly educated – that they understand their diagnosis and options to be able to make informed decisions. It also helps avoid repetitive conversations and decrease burnouts, allowing the oncologist to focus more on patient-centered care and decision-making guidance, which isn’t usually possible with the time crunch.
To validate its impact, MyCareGorithm was piloted by expert faculty at six distinguished institutions, showing remarkable benefits for patients, caregivers, and providers alike.
- 97% of patients reported that the visual images enhanced their ability to understand their medical condition.
- 95% of caregivers appreciated having online access to revisit information that was shared during the consultation.
- 100% of providers expressed the desire to integrate the tool for themselves and their team.
Mount Sinai Pilot Study
At Mount Sinai Tisch Cancer Center, 32 English-speaking breast cancer patients participated in a study using the visual communication tool.
The results were clear. Patients gained a much better understanding of their diagnosis and their specific treatment options. Clinicians felt that the use of interactive visual diagrams and procedure videos provided the clinical team with a sense of enhanced quality of engagement with patients.
This proves that in oncology, algorithms alone don’t win the trust. People do. And MyCareGorithm is built to keep that human touch at the heart of every critical decision.
