Gynaecology history
Period, pelvic and menopause symptoms are personal, and patients often leave out details in the room. Before the visit, TESSA asks in private about the menstrual cycle, bleeding, pain, contraception, pregnancy history, menopause symptoms and the last cervical screening, and flags warning signs such as bleeding after menopause, so the gynaecologist starts with a complete summary.

Questions
What does TESSA do in gynaecology history?
Period, pelvic and menopause symptoms are personal, and patients often leave out details in the room. Before the visit, TESSA asks in private about the menstrual cycle, bleeding, pain, contraception, pregnancy history, menopause symptoms and the last cervical screening, and flags warning signs such as bleeding after menopause, so the gynaecologist starts with a complete summary. It does this through information gathering, summarisation.
Does TESSA diagnose the patient?
No, TESSA never gives a patient a diagnosis. It collects and collates the information the patient provides, asks probing questions and performs risk assessment; a clinician reviews the summary and decides, and no diagnosis, summary or management plan reaches the patient until the clinician signs.
What happens if the patient mentions a warning sign?
Warning or worrying signs that require immediate attention or action go straight to the care team without alarming the patient. For time-critical presentations, TESSA supports the clinician only and is not currently intended for patient use.
How is patient information protected?
The patient surface runs on session codes, not names, and each institution's data is kept apart with a full audit trail. Our own Anonesia by TINYHealth is a proprietary software and code that removes PIIs, e.g. names, ID numbers and contact details from text before it reaches an AI model.
