#Off the Record

Project for the Innovate New York-Presbyterian Medical Center Pediatrics Hackathon

#What is Off the Record?

As a teen, it’s embarrassing and awkward to openly ask your doctor questions about things like drugs, alcohol, sex, etc. when your parents are in the room. These conversations reveal risk factors that lead to accidents and suicide, the two biggest killers in the adolescent population.

This project allows teens to text a number specific to their doctor which sends them back a link to a uniquely generated secure messaging portal where they can enter in the question or concern they have for their doctor privately and securely. The message is then delivered to the doctor's Electronic Medical Record system and erased completely from the teen's phone. There is no app to install or data on the phone that can be tracked.
