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.

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content past its date is withdrawn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.
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.
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 Content past its date is withdrawn, not served.
Versioned like content
Education is content, not code. Written, reviewed, versioned and published, and the same version reaches every patient at that step.
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.
No. It explains what a step is for and how to prepare. Anything specific to the patient's own clinical data is the clinician's, through the clinician surface.
Named clinicians, with a different named reviewer, through the same editorial process as the condition and Care Plan content.
No. Who pays does not change the intended purpose, the content or the boundary. It changes the consumer-law information the patient receives before subscribing.
That is pathway tracking and it belongs to running a Care Plan, where the care team is the recipient. IQ Care does not alert clinicians.
