Wise Decision is a visual aid tool for patients that provides information relevant to medical decisions. Patients can actively participate, seek clarification, and communicate various options using interactive animations. The tool helps patients understand the risks and benefits of various treatments, examinations, and lifestyles by presenting the information visually. This encourages the consideration of treatments with fewer adverse effects while reducing biases resulting from narratives. Risk information, such as disease incidence and drug side effect ratios, is displayed through shading or colour changes using a denominator of 100 icons.
Wise Decision has the potential to enhance the efficiency of doctor-patient communication and bridge the knowledge gap between medical professionals and the general public. It can be synchronised with Electronic Health Records (EHR) to provide personalised risk data, aiding patients in comprehending the risks and benefits of various treatments, tests, and lifestyles. Additionally, the tool has the capacity to reduce medical disputes, prevent wastage of medical resources, improve overall medical quality, and enhance patient satisfaction.
