DSC2U provides customized information for people with Down syndrome from age 1 through adulthood/senior years. When caregivers access DSC2U online, they will be asked to identify current symptoms in their loved one with Down syndrome along with any past medical or behavioral diagnoses and any recent blood work or diagnostic testing. DSC2U also contains optional questions about nutrition, education, therapies, life skills, and community resources. Their responses will be analyzed by a computer, based on state-of-the-art guidelines designed by national Down syndrome experts. </p> <p>The caregiver will instantly receive two personalized documents: <a href="/assets/documents/en/CaregiverPlanExample.pdf" target="_blank">one for themselves</a> and <a href="/assets/documents/en/PCPPlanTemplate.pdf" target="_blank">one to share with their primary healthcare provider</a>. These documents contain customized suggestions that are designed to help their loved one get healthcare tailored to their own specific needs. The documents are based on the caregiver’s answers to the DSC2U survey and draw on national guidelines for the care of persons with Down syndrome. </p> <p>DSC2U does not offer direct access to physicians at Massachusetts General Hospital, nor does it offer caregivers access to MGH physicians by e-mail, text, phone, or videoconference. It is not meant to help in emergencies or to address urgent medical issues. For those circumstances, please call 9-1-1 in the U.S. or go to your nearest medical provider. DSC2U offers instead the most current recommendations and resources to caregivers through personalized online documents. </p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-faq-the-science" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-55"><h4 class="display-5">What is the science behind DSC2U?</h4></a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-faq-the-science"> <p>We tested DSC2U in a national randomized controlled trial with 230 families from around the U.S. who did not have access to a Down syndrome specialty clinic. DSC2U is effective. People with Down syndrome whose caregivers used DSC2U had a <a href="/assets/documents/en/DSC2U-visual-abstract.png" target="_blank">1.6-fold increase in adherence to recommended guidelines</a>. About 97% of caregivers found the output of DSC2U easy to understand, and 100% of caregivers would recommend DSC2U to other families. About 97% of primary care providers agreed with the customized recommendations of DSC2U, and 100% of primary care providers were interested in the information. You can read the <a href="https://rdcu.be/b6Hk4" target="_blank">full research paper</a>, <a href="https://www.pcori.org/research-results/2016/does-web-based-platform-caregivers-help-people-down-syndrome-get-recommended" target="_blank">this summary</a>, and/or listen to a <a href="https://media.acast.com/genepod/onlineaccesstodownsyndromehealth-caretool/media.mp3" target="_blank">podcast</a> summarizing the results.</p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-faq-the-time" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-55"><h4 class="display-5">How long does it take to complete DSC2U?</h4></a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-faq-the-time"> <p>The more of the intake that you complete, the more customized recommendations you will receive. For some caregivers, DSC2U can take as short as 10 minutes to fill out. Other caregivers can spend up to 45 minutes, choosing to fill out all of the questions. The intake form does not need to be completed in one session. Your responses will be saved, and you can always return to finish. Once your DSC2U intake form is completed, you will be given access to your personalized Caregiver Checklist and Primary Care Provider Plan, which will be accessed in your DSC2U portal. You may return to your DSC2U portal at any time, for no additional fee, to access these customized documents. You also have the option to click the download button to print or save a copy of these documents for your records.</p> <p>Caregivers are welcome to return and re-complete DSC2U as many times as they wish. We recommend re-completing DSC2U at least once each year, timed with your loved one's annual wellness visit with their primary care provider. Your previous responses will not be saved so that you can enter new symptoms/concerns and receive new customized information. Caregivers will be charged the same user fee upon each usage.</p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-55" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-55"> <h4 class="display-5">What languages is DSC2U available in?</h4> </a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-55"> <p>DSC2U is available in English and Spanish.</p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-2" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-2"> <h4 class="display-5">Who developed DSC2U?</h4> </a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-2"> <p>DSC2U was created by Dr. Brian Skotko, MD, MPP, and the clinical and research teams from the Down Syndrome Program and Lab of Computer Science at Massachusetts General Hospital, a not-for-profit academic hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School. The team worked in close consultation with <a href="/team" target="_blank"> key stakeholders</a>, including parents and caregivers of people with Down syndrome, representatives of Down syndrome advocacy organizations, primary care physicians, and national medical experts. </p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-3" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-3"> <h4 class="display-5">How is DSC2U funded?</h4> </a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-3"> <p>DSC2U was created with the help of a <a href="https://www.pcori.org/research-results/2016/helping-families-get-health-screening-recommendations-patients-down-syndrome" target="_blank"> generous grant</a> from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), a federally funded program established to help patients and their caregivers make better informed decisions about healthcare. This funding ended in July 2019. DSC2U has never accepted any funding from pharmaceutical companies or commercial entities.</p> <p>Now that the PCORI grant has ended, DSC2U continues to be maintained and updated by the same team at Massachusetts General Hospital but must pay its own way. It is solely maintained by philanthropic donations and user fees. </p> <p><a href="https://www.lumindidsc.org/" target="_blank"> LuMind IDSC Foundation</a> is the founding philanthropic supporter and will collaborate with Massachusetts General Hospital to bring DSC2U to more than 200,000 families who do not have access to a specialty Down syndrome clinic like ours.</p> <p>Donations and user fees are received and processed by Massachusetts General Hospital, and are used to cover the expenses associated with maintaining and improving this resource. These expenses include such things as ongoing review of new research results, administrative costs, and computer software updates. </p> </div> <br /> <a data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapseFAQ-en-5" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapseFAQ-en-5"> <h4 class="display-5">Will families be charged a fee to access DSC2U? </h4> </a> <div class="collapse" id="collapseFAQ-en-5"> <p>Yes.

A one time purchase can be made each time caregivers would like to complete DSC2U for updated recommendations, or a plan can be purchased. The one year unlimited plan allows caregivers to complete DSC2U and get new recommendations as often as they wish within a year of purchase. If the person with Down syndrome is covered under one of <a href="/insurers">these insurance plans</a>, this option may be available at no charge. The annual subscription will also allow caregivers to complete DSC2U and get new recommendations as often as they wish within a year. This plan auto-renews every year and offers the best value.
