Breast Cancer Risk Visualisation app for iPhone and iPad

The application aims to explain, visualise and compare a womans risk of developing breast cancer against a comparable average woman in the population. While this application has been designed specifically for patients that attend the high-risk breast cancer clinic in Cork University Hospital, Ireland, it can be used by any patient that receives IBIS scores from a consultant.

It utilises both personal and population based IBIS scores given by consultants of breast cancer clinics. Following a meeting with a consultant and a review of all personal risk factors, the patient will be given a set of individual risk scores and population risk scores. In some instances (but not all), this set may include additional risk figures e.g. BRCA1 and BRCA2, which can also be entered into the application.

The total set of risk scores can then be entered into this application. For each different risk, it will display and compare them in a manner that should allow the user to better understand them. Your consultant will take you through each risk figure in the application during your meeting.

The application can save up to 10 different sets of user risk figures - it does not save any identifiable information about the user, and the risk sets can be easily cleared if so wished.
