You don't need an account, we won't ask you for any personal information, and it can take as little as five minutes –
you'll create a list of questions for your doctor in three easy steps.
Avva's design and functionality was built on the input of breast cancer survivors and advocates.
We're always looking for more feedback and input from people who are just as passionate
about improving the breast cancer patient experience as we are.
The questions list tool we've launched is only a small part of the fully-featured suite
of tools we are building to help empower breast cancer patients to manage their treatment, so
you are interested in learning more about the tools we're building, providing us with feedback,
or getting involved, please don't hesitate to contact us and we'll get back to you.

Avva prepares patients for a focused and relevant discussion with their physician.
Avva is designed to help patients think through their individual concerns ahead of time and come
into a visit with a focused list of questions for the physician. The system does not provide
medical advice to patients and is not intended to replace the interaction between patient and
physician, but rather to complement it.The system categorizes patients along several dimensions such as treatment type, age, and pathology characteristics, then uses an algorithm to match the patient to suggested questions that they may want to ask their physician. This means that patients see suggestions that are highly relevant to their particular situation rather than a generic list where many of the questions may not be applicable in their case.
We've worked hard to make sure that Avva is as convenient and helpful for physicians as it is for patients. Patients simply print out their list of questions and bring it to the visit, so there's no system to log into for the physician and no disruption to your workflow.
