## Executive Summary

Advoca is a patient-facing app for cancer patients, rare disease patients, carers, and people managing complex care. It supports appointment planning, visit recording, plain-language summaries, trusted-source follow-up questions, and optional sharing.

From a CAIHL perspective, Advoca is potentially agency-expanding because it is patient/carer-chosen and built around memory, preparation, understanding, and follow-through. It also has detailed public privacy documentation. The profile remains draft because independent accuracy, equity, accessibility, and patient-outcome evidence are still needed.

Agency posture: Potentially agency-expanding
Confidence: Medium draft

## Mixed HugoScore Profile

- Who does this AI serve? Patient-directed. It is designed for patients and carers facing complex care.
- Can patients tell AI is involved? Yes. Recording, summarization, and chatbot features are explicit.
- Can patients meaningfully choose? Yes. Use is voluntary and user initiated, though recording consent remains jurisdiction-specific.
- Can patients correct or challenge what the AI produces? Partial. Public policy describes access, rectification, deletion, portability, and reporting inaccuracies, but the editing workflow needs review.
- Does it help patients understand or act? Yes. Appointment planning, summaries, trusted sources, follow-up questions, and sharing directly support action.

## Patient Agency Interpretation

Advoca is one of the stronger Batch 1 patient-agency candidates because it is built for patients and carers rather than for institutional documentation. Its risk is overconfidence in summaries and chatbot answers, especially if uncertainty, source limits, and correction pathways are not prominent in the app experience.

## Publication Recommendation

Ready for human review as a draft profile. Final publication should wait for app-level verification of recording consent, editing/correction, export, sharing revocation, source curation, and independent accuracy evidence.
