About Heart Chapters

Who is behind it?

Heart Chapters is a project by Rohin, a final-year medical student at Imperial College London, preparing for an upcoming elective in Southampton. Imperial and Southampton have not endorsed this project.

Clear about its limits

This is an AI-assisted educational prototype. It has not received independent clinical review. Do not use it to make decisions about a child’s treatment.

Every child’s heart and care are different. Your cardiac team is the right place for explanations about your child, their tests and what happens next.

How information is put together

Guides use original plain English summaries of authoritative public information. Each guide links to its references and records when they were checked. Linking a source does not imply endorsement by its publisher.

Scope and accessibility

This first edition covers 14 selected congenital heart conditions and introductory family topics. It is not a complete catalogue. Linked sources and your team can help you explore further.

The accessibility target is WCAG 2.2 AA. The design supports keyboard use, clear labels, visible focus, readable contrast and reduced motion. This prototype has not had an independent accessibility audit or a full assistive-technology assessment, so conformance is not claimed.

Privacy and your Journal

Notes, reading progress and review comments stay in page memory until you refresh or close it. Device saving keeps them in this browser. They are not put in page URLs or sent to a care team. Journals stay in your browser and are not uploaded to our server. There are no Journal accounts or automatic syncing. You can transfer your own notes by downloading a backup and restoring it on another device.

Downloads may contain personal notes. Avoid identifying information and keep files private. Hosting providers process standard website requests. If you choose to load a 3D heart, your browser connects to Sketchfab, an external model viewer. Sketchfab receives standard connection information and has its own privacy policy. Your Journal is not passed to the viewer. Choosing Find a place sends your location search to Photon, a service using OpenStreetMap data. Questions, answers and other Journal notes are not sent to it. Choosing a calendar export shares the appointment details with the calendar you select. Other sites have their own privacy policies.
