Concept
HealthOS Onco is a patient preparation service for oncology consultation, second opinion, or cost discussion. It helps gather medical data, understand case completeness, see informational directions for doctor discussion, identify key risks, and prepare a doctor report.
The product is patient support for preparing an oncology conversation. Its role is not to replace the doctor, but to help the patient come to the consultation with a structured summary, a list of missing data, and questions worth discussing.
Four Principles
- Verifiability instead of a black box. Every important output should have a source, date, confidence status, and understandable reason.
- Patient confirmation. OCR and NLP may create drafts, but a key fact becomes usable only after user review or attachment to a source document.
- Risk and completeness before cost. Cost context helps prepare the conversation, but it does not push the patient toward a medical decision.
- Reproducible report. A report version is tied to documents, questionnaire answers, the price snapshot, and the version of reference rules.

What the Product Can Do
- collect pathology reports, discharge summaries, imaging notes, lab data, medicines, allergies, prior therapy, and questionnaire answers;
- show which data are critical for an oncology consultation;
- explain oncology terms in plain language;
- create informational direction cards for discussion with a doctor;
- highlight risks and limitations in a readable form;
- prepare indicative cost context with the date of the price snapshot;
- generate a doctor report or a second-opinion package.
What Is Out of Scope
- confirming a diagnosis or oncologic indication;
- issuing medical orders for treatment, medicine, dosage, procedure, or trial participation;
- independent patient decision on treatment direction;
- emergency care;
- promising the final cost of medicines or medical care;
- guaranteeing availability of a specific clinic, doctor, program, medicine, or clinical trial.
First Module
The first module focuses on breast cancer. This scenario is a strong starting point: patient value is clear through receptor status, stage, prior therapy, safety context, and cost context.
Key data for the first module:
| Data | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| ER, PR, HER2 | Receptor status is central to understanding which topics are relevant for discussion. |
| Stage and disease context | Localized, locally advanced, metastatic, primary, or later-line scenarios require different questions. |
| Pathology and imaging | The report should show which facts came from source documents and which remain incomplete. |
| Prior therapy | Surgery, systemic therapy, radiation, and endocrine therapy affect the next conversation. |
| Medicines, allergies, and organ function | Safety topics should be visible before cost. |
| Cost region | Required for indicative, not final, cost context. |
Readiness States
| State | Meaning for the Patient |
|---|---|
| Ready | There is enough data for the report and informational comparison. |
| Partial | A report can be created, but some sections will be limited by warnings. |
| Blocked | A critical gap prevents reliable comparison or report preparation. |
| Needs doctor | Some information should be discussed with a doctor before continuing. |
| Out of scope | The scenario is not part of supported oncology preparation. |
