Resources

Practical materials for patients, clinicians, researchers, and partners.

Find public guides and explainers about MDA, Mito Map, consent, referrals, privacy, research collaboration, and visit prep. If you are getting ready for a clinic visit, open the patient visit summary template first so you can write down what changed, what you want to ask, and what you want to remember.

For patients and families

Start with the pages that explain what happens next.

How it works shows when to join, when Mito Map helps, and when to come back.

Community lists stories, events, and ways to stay connected between visits.

FAQ answers common questions about privacy, consent, and referrals in plain language.

You can use these pages without sharing detailed records. If you later choose to join Mito Map, private health details stay there, not in public forms.

Use the public pages to jot down what changed and the questions you want to bring to your next visit or call. Open the patient visit summary template if you want a simple one-page note to fill in before clinic.

If you want a printable next step for clinic, download the handout or open the quick-start one-pager and bring it to your care team.

Contact is for general support, privacy, or operational questions when you need a person.

Visit prep

Bring a short summary so the visit starts with what changed.

If symptoms, medicines, tests, or goals have changed, a short note makes it easier to keep the appointment focused. You do not need a full history in one sitting. Start with the most recent changes, then add the questions you want answered.

Write down what changed since the last visit, especially anything new, worse, or still unclear.

Bring the top questions you want answered so the conversation can stay focused.

Use the patient visit summary template if you want a simple page to fill in before clinic.

If you already use Mito Map, bring the current summary with you instead of rebuilding the story from memory.

Evidence and results

Reviewed results live on the Impact and Publications pages.

This page explains the program and the review process. If you want the public evidence trail, start with Impact for aggregate outcomes and Publications for reviewed milestones, presentations, and plain-language summaries.

Impact

See aggregate outcomes, update trends, and public reporting without private records.

Open impact

Publications

Browse reviewed milestones, publications, presentations, and plain-language summaries when they are ready.

Open publications

Care conversation prep

Use the public summary to write down what changed and the questions you want to bring to your next visit.

Guidelines and consensus

Start with the original source, then use MDA for the plain-language path.

If a page cites a guideline or consensus statement, use the MDA summary for context and then open the original source before sharing it in clinic. MDA links to the source so readers can review the exact language; it does not claim endorsement unless the source itself says so.

Use the original guideline or consensus paper for the clinical details.

Use the clinician quick-start one-pager when you need the MDA and Mito Map boundary.

Use the referral handout when a patient wants a printable next step.

Keep charts, labs, genetics, and urgent questions out of public forms.

For biomarker and endpoint work

Use cohort readiness to judge whether a signal is worth reviewing.

MDA can show whether a cohort is becoming more useful for biomarker and endpoint planning by sharing aggregate participation, update freshness, and reviewed evidence. Exploratory signals stay exploratory until they are reviewed, and detailed health data stays in Mito Map.

Good fit: aggregate summaries, readiness snapshots, and source-locked claims for reviewed outputs.

Not here: raw charts, lab files, genetic reports, or patient-level matching.

Next step: Use Research for collaboration requests and Publications for reviewed evidence.

For clinicians

Use one short follow-up message instead of rewriting the same explanation.

These materials keep referral language plain, lightweight, and privacy-safe. Start with the quick-start if you need the boundary, then use the after-visit message when a patient wants a simple next step.

Clinician quick-start one-pager

A short download that explains the MDA and Mito Map boundary, what to share, and what not to send.

For researchers and institutions

Review the collaboration rules before requesting nonpublic data.

The institution playbook explains the value exchange, required institutional approvals and signatures, MDA's data and IP defaults, licensing boundaries, negotiation options, and the one-page intake decision.
