HCApp simplifies the process of determining hereditary cancer genetic counseling and testing eligibility through a questionnaire based on the National Comprehensive Cancer Network's extensive guidelines. Unlike other tools, the HCApp is a point-of-care tool designed to be used in a routine healthcare visit.
- Simple yes-or-no questions
 - Immediate results
 - Fully anonymous with no saved PHI
 
- NO complicated guidelines
 - NO long evaluations
 - NO third-party portals
 
How it works
HCApp uses skip logic and stops once your patient meets eligibility criteria for hereditary cancer genetic counseling and testing, sometimes in as little as 1 minute!
Our app provides you with prioritized questions to ask your patients and assesses patient eligibility with each question, rather than providing results at the end of a lengthy survey.
It also does not store any personally identifiable information—not of providers, nor of patients.
Help ensure care for at-risk patients
We are looking for clinicians to take part in ongoing research to improve HCApp.
The process for becoming a research participant is simple:
- Take our qualification survey to see if you're the right fit.
 - Sign the consent form and then download the HCApp.
 - Take a pre-HCApp use survey and receive a $25 gift card.
 - Use the HCApp with your patients for three months.
 - Take a post-HCApp use survey and receive a second $25 gift card.
