What started out as research for a work project about genetic counseling and cancer risk assessment led me to explore and deeply understand my family’s history of breast cancer, my personal risk assessment and my recommended screening options. Come along for the ride and learn about my experiences! Cancer screening saves lives by detecting diseases early when they’re most treatable. This presentation is important because it highlights the real-world impact of understanding genetic risk and screening options. By sharing my personal and professional journey, I hope to inspire better design solutions that empower patients to take charge of their health, ensuring screening tools are accessible, clear, and supportive for those navigating critical decisions.
