Sofia's story, 44 years old

When I was told I needed surgery, everything happened very fast. Consultation, date, signature… done. At the time I went along with it, because you trust the process. But once I was home, doubt started creeping in. Were there other options? Nobody mentioned a second opinion to me. I didn't even know it was easily accessible. I would have needed a space to ask my questions calmly. MyTwin would have reassured me during that somewhat dizzying period.

How MyTwin can help

In this type of moment, MyTwin provides a concrete answer by facilitating access to a specialized second medical opinion.

The platform allows centralizing all elements of the medical file (reports, imaging, tests, medical correspondence) then, if the patient wishes, sharing them securely with doctors specialized in the relevant condition.

MyTwin can help to:

  • Organize and structure medical information related to the procedure
  • Facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the medical situation
  • Connect with expert doctors in the relevant condition
  • Obtain a second medical opinion within short timeframes (a few days)
  • Approach the therapeutic decision with greater clarity and peace of mind

The objective is to ensure the patient does not face an important decision alone, by facilitating access to complementary expertise, while maintaining a simple, secure and structured framework.
