HILBI IQ · PATIENT EDUCATION

The right words at the right step

  • Education only
  • No clinical decision
  • Named authors

Education delivered where the patient actually needs it. Written and reviewed by named clinicians, versioned, and identical for every patient at that step.

The right words at the right step

Authored by clinicians

named author, different named reviewer

Reviewed on a cycle

content past its date is withdrawn

What it does

Content delivered at a step in the pathway. Nothing more, deliberately.

  1. Education at the right step

    The material for the step the patient is on. What it is for, how to prepare, what happens next. Not a leaflet at the start.

  2. Written by named clinicians

    An author, a different reviewer, a review date and a next-review date. Content past its date is withdrawn, not served.

  3. Versioned like content

    Education is content, not code. Written, reviewed, versioned and published, and the same version reaches every patient at that step.

  4. The same for everyone at that step

    No personalisation from the record. Personalising clinical material to one person is the line between education and a medical device.

Intended purpose and boundaries

Written so a reviewer can re-run the classification rather than take it on trust.

Intended purposeIn force
To deliver clinician-authored educational material to a patient at a defined step of a care pathway.
What it does not doIn force
It does not interpret the patient's data, does not generate a patient-specific recommendation, does not triage, does not diagnose and makes no clinical decision.
Regulatory positionIn force
On this intended purpose it is not a medical device under EU MDR 2017/745, assessed against MDCG 2019-11.
Content governanceIn force
Named author, a different named reviewer, review date and next-review date, versioned in the CMS.
PersonalisationIn force
By pathway step only. Never by the individual patient's clinical data.
Who paysIn progress
The patient. €9 per patient per month.
LanguagesIn force
Slovak and Czech.
Data residencyIn force
European Union for the Slovak and Czech markets.
What the clinician seesIn force
That material was delivered and whether it was opened. Not an assessment of the patient.
Where pathway tracking livesIn force
Tracking which step was missed and alerting the care team is a function of running a Care Plan, not of IQ Care. See the Care Plans page.

Questions about scope

  • No. On the stated intended purpose (delivering clinician-authored education at a pathway step, with no interpretation of the individual patient's data and no recommendation) it falls outside EU MDR 2017/745 as assessed against MDCG 2019-11. The intended purpose is published above so the assessment can be re-run.

Education is one part of the pathway

The steps, the tasks and the measurement around it are the Care Plan itself.
