Get Empowered. Make smart choices.An app designed to make cancer screening and its decision-making process simple and
reliable
BackgroundEarly detection is an important component to
the Nation’s cancer control efforts. However:
Not every person benefits from screeningScreening can be distressingNot all cancer screening procedures reduce Ca
mortalityScreening recommendations vary across
organizationsThus, patients need to be
informed about their optionsinvolved in the screening decision process
Aims of the AppProvide tailored cancer screening recommendations
based on recorded cancer family history and demographic variables
Educate users about screening procedures & cancer prevalance & mortality data by US state
Provides Pros and Cons of screeningProvide decision tool to aid in the decision making
processTestimonials from people who did/did not screenProvide action plan to assist in identifing physicians,

Theoretical FrameworkSelf-regulation framework guides the development.
SLR has these key elementsCancer relevant expectations, beliefs, including self-
efficacy beliefs and beliefs about screening and treatmentCancer relevant affective statesPerceived competencies
The app will speak to each of these 3 key components, by: Addressing beliefs and expectationsProviding reassuring messages and resources to cope
with distressOffering detailed action plans
Development of the AppA prototype of the app will be shown to members
of the target audience via focus groups:Men and women eligible for prostate and breast
cancer screeningWomen eligible for cervical cancer screening
We will invite a diverse group of men and women, representing different ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds.
Focus groups will be transcribed and coded. App will be revised based on focus group results.
Usability Testing of the AppMen and women from target audience will be
asked to use the appUse talk-aloud method (i.e., ask users to
describe what they want to do with the app and record their successes and failures while using the app)
Revise app according to changes of usabiity testing
Launch HealthOwl
HealthOwl on these PlatformsThe app will be available:
on the webOn mobile platforms
iPhone, Android, Blackberry & Windows Phone 7 , and the Web (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari )
Use of public available dataScreening recommendations and screening
information will be generated from NCI’s PDQ and Medline+.
Prevelance data by state and county level for all major cancers from http://statecancerprofiles.cancer.gov
Two ways to obtain tailoring data1) User input answering a few questions
aboutFamily history of cancerSexAgeRace/ethnicityInsurance
2) Data input through EPIC. Connect the App via a website to EPIC and relevant data will be transferred into the program.

Pros and Cons About Screening
User can read Pros and Cons re prostate cancer screening, e.g.,: PRO: Prostate screening can
help find prostate cancer at an early stage. Then a decision has to be made whether it should be treated or observed.
CON: Researchers have not demonstrated that earlier treatment prolongs or saves lives

Help with Decision—Value ClarificationUser rates each of the Pros & Cons according to their
perceived importance (1=not important; 5=very important)Users receive a summary score and an interpretative
statement about their screening intentions
Patient storiesBased on our work with prostate cancer patients,
these stories represent aggregated opinions by men about their experience with prostate cancer screening.
Coping with UncertaintiesThe goal is to provide reassurance about the
screening procedure and emotional support to those worried about detecting cancer. Use of GPS to deliver tailored resources
Provide resources: •Cancer Information Service (1-800-4Cancer)•American Cancer Society (Man to man support group)•State-specific resources: e.g. for New York
www.newyorkprostate.com
Finding a doctorAn action plan is an important factor in
translating intentions into screening. This pages helps patients find a physician who would
conduct the screening based on their health insurance. It also provides resources for those who are not insured.
Set a reminder for your screening appointmentThe unique part of
HealthOwl is the ability to set screening appointments as recurring events in the future.
Create reminders to create an appointment and for the screening itself
Prior to a scheduled date a reminder email and/or a text message will be sent to the user.
Connecting to family members
Share this app with family members and friends or email or text the link of the HealthOwl site.
This is a good way for family and friends to learn about cancer screening.

options, tailored according to their age, race, gender, and family history of cancer;
