Thesis Statement

Trevor McDonald and Noelle Aminoff

Navigating the healthcare system can often feel like a complex maze. With numerous challenges ranging from understanding medications to managing paperwork, these obstacles can create uncertainty and stress for patients and their families. Both of us have personally experienced or witnessed loved one's struggle to advocate for themselves within this system, and we wanted to provide a tool to aid the issue. Our goal is to develop an app that provides easy access to essential information and equips patients with practical tools, to seek outside help and be adequately prepared for appointment day.


Theory of Change: If people learn how to better advocate for themselves and their medical issues, the result will be a more streamlined healthcare system where doctors and patients understand each other because they will have learned more about the healthcare process.

Organizing Sentence: We are organizing NuVu parents to pursue more transparent and easier access to healthcare resources by creating a website/app to achieve a more streamlined medical process by the end of this studio.
