Patient Decisions Application
This tablet based application aims to aid patient’s make informed decisions about crucial health care choices.
- Thyroid-Prototype The html prototype for Thyroid Cancer.
- Otosclerosis-Prototype The html prototype for Otosclerosis.
- redcap The REDCap versions of the applications.
- storyboard: The storyboard for the application, and extra details around any specific workflows that come up
