Related, I created the @genehouse.co “Things We Say” dictionary that breaks down our cultural names for illnesses (so we will know what we and the docs are talking bout). If you wanna add a term, click the “Suggest a Term” link in the dropdown ☺️

I was just doing some testing with editing the in-app family trees and it made me smile. Because to me, it really does feel like our own safehouse of health. I am so excited to be creating a SECURE place for Black people to document/store/utilize our family health history stories. 💙💚

it might sound silly, but what I love about the graphic in this post is that it accurately depicts the right-handed twist of dsDNA as well as the major and minor grooves when it comes to something so fundamental and so important, it's urgent and necessary to get the details right no room for slop

🗣️VIRGINIA!!! A positive TB case has been confirmed within Rockingham County Schools. This case was active in the past and is *not* actively spreading. BUT they are still doing contact tracing to see if anyone has a latent infection (which means they have TB in their bodies but it’s basically sleep)

My Alma Mater published an article *about me*. And I’m VERY proud! I’ll post the link and say more later but here are two excerpts:
"Doctors don't have the time to sit and digest everything patients share-that's where
GeneHouse steps in," says Bonner. "I want GeneHouse to bridge the gaps in care by giving doctors concise, detailed patient narratives."
GeneHouse, Bonner explains, isn't just about family health history collection; it's about fostering trust in health care, especially with a Black community that has historically been justifiably wary of the medical system. She recognizes the critical role of patient confidence in health care and strives to ensure that GeneHouse's data collection methods respect patients' fears. "If patients feel protected, that makes them more vulnerable, and that gives them the space to say more"" says Bonner.
The role of GeneHouse extends beyond the individual patient level. Bonner also sees it as a tool for health care providers. By packaging relevant patient information through assessment by GeneHouse's genetic counselors, the app can help doctors make informed decisions and avoid missing critical context in a patient's care.The Future of GeneHouse
GeneHouse has taken years to develop, evolving from concept to design with the help of a designer who has brought Bonner's vision to life. Now nearing beta testing, she has ambitious plans for GeneHouse's future, including hopes for funding to fully launch the platform. "I want GeneHouse to be a one-stop shop for patients, from gathering information to getting genetic testing to finding the right care."
Beyond her aspirations for GeneHouse, Bonner is also an advocate for health equity and data transparency. She hopes that GeneHouse can contribute to greater health equity by addressing the systemic biases that often affect marginalized groups. In discussing health care in America, she emphasizes the broader implications of policies on health equity, noting how socioeconomic factors, access to health care, and systemic support all play crucial roles in determining health outcomes.

Storytelling is a huge aspect of the Black community. At GeneHouse, we use narrative medicine techniques to bring a voice to our family health history narratives. With the trust of the community, we hope to implement precision health and literally save lives. Join us on this journey! 💚💙 (5/5)

Along with the clinical recommendations, users will also have access to content that focuses on Black health and Black families. Things like teaching family members to associate hearing “I have sugar” with a diabetes diagnosis. Or “bad nerves” with anxiety. Or preventative care guidelines. (3/5)
