Description
Lea Doppelbauer and co-authors test how best to show breast cancer patients their own outcome reports as pictures. Their study appeared in 2025. Patients regularly report symptoms and well-being, and charts of those reports can guide shared decisions. Yet little is known about which chart designs patients grasp best. The team had co-designed several designs with patients and clinicians during a large trial of symptom monitoring.
After the trial, patients received a paper survey with their own report in the new designs. They rated how clear and useful each feature was and named their preferences. The team compared answers between the trial's two arms and across chart features. The findings point to designs that patients can read at a glance, a step toward reports that truly inform care talks.
