Questions
What does TESSA do in questions about screening results?
Post-investigation reviews are short, and people often leave unsure what their results mean or what to do next. TESSA explains as many of their results as they want, in plain language, and helps them note their questions, so the doctor can spend the review on what matters to them. It does this through information gathering, patient education.
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.
