In Rewritten Me’s first ever ‘extra’ episode, Luan talks to Dr Minas Chrysopoulo who devised the Breast Advocate® app.
Breast Advocate® is the world's first shared decision-making app for breast cancer surgery and breast reconstruction. It's the app that helped Dr Sandy Minck when she was researching her risk reduction surgery (episode 8).
Dr C, as he’s known, is an American-based board-certified surgeon and micro surgeon who co-created the Breast Advocate® with patient advocates and leading specialists.
Listen in to find out how the app’s easy-to-use wizard can be a useful decision-making tool, even for those who live outside of the States. And hear Dr C share how the process of partnering with patient advocates to create the app has helped him become a better clinician.
