A smartphone app developed at the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) has won its fourth award the prestigious Coup de Coeur des ministres honour at Les Prix d’excellence du réseau de la santé et des services sociaux.
The Opal app (opalmedapps.com) provides patients access to contextualized medical data and personalized educational material, including lab results, medical notes and treatment plans.

The user-friendly app is currently being tested by approximately 200 patients at the Cedars Cancer Centre and over the next two years, will be expanded to five other cancer centres in the Montreal area.
The Opal team is also developing a version for caregivers.
