MIPOGG vs Aorta

Geared towards healthcare providers, researchers, and trainees, the McGill Interactive Pediatric Oncogenetic Guidelines (MIPOGG) app is a decision aid to determine which patients with cancer should be evaluated in genetics. The questions are simple to answer based on the type of tumor with which a patient was diagnosed. All cancer types relevant to children and adults aged less than 40 years old are included. Educational modules provide additional insight on the associations between each cancer and genetic syndromes.

Aorta App is an evidence-based digital companion designed to support both clinicians and patients in understanding and navigating aortic conditions. Developed in partnership with the Montreal Heart Institute, the app combines reliable medical knowledge, practical tools, and clear explanations to make complex information easier to navigate. For clinicians, Aorta App provides quick access to clinical guidelines, calculators for reviewing aortic measurements, and tools to track changes over time. It also highlights guideline-based considerations for referral to specialized care or genetic evaluation and includes a directory of specialized care centers to support informed clinical decision-making. For patients, the app offers clear, supportive education about aortic conditions and how genetics may play a role. Users can learn about imaging and diagnostic tests, treatment options, and lifestyle considerations, as well as information on symptoms for which medical advice should be sought. The app also connects users to emotional and community support resources, helping them feel less alone in their health journey. By bringing clinicians and patients onto the same page, Aorta App helps improve communication, simplify care pathways, and empower individuals with the knowledge and confidence to take an active role in managing their aortic health. The information provided is intended to support, not replace, discussions with qualified healthcare professionals.
