Healthcare is at once personal and universal. The individual patient experience is shaped by identity, needs and stage of life.

Making an appointment with their doctor was the most common step taken when patients were asked about overall action (40.5%).
Around the point of diagnosis, patients most wanted guidance on how to discuss their symptoms with their healthcare providers and to hear from others experiencing similar symptoms.
