(0 reviews) What does the tool do?
This online tool is an interactive way to track your nephrotic syndrome journey from first symptoms and diagnosis to treatment. Presented as a map, with a bicycle showing you where you are in the journey, you can plot your journey. On the map, tree grove icons have a specific name and clicking on it gives more information relating to that topic such as biopsy, treatment, etc. Guide post icons offer basic information about that stage of the journey such as first symptoms, diagnosis, etc.
The tool also allows you to record questions for your health care team, record your current treatments, invite a health care provider to participate in Insider and view readings suggested by your provider.
