Surgical-IRIS Education

About SIRIS

SIRIS is a surgical patient education interface built on Mayo Clinic's IRIS platform. It helps patients ask specialty-focused education questions, review Mayo Clinic resources, and prepare questions for their care team.

Powered by IRIS

SIRIS uses Mayo Clinic's IRIS External API TEST environment to answer education-focused questions from available patient education sources.

Surgical education focus

Each chat is shaped by the selected surgical specialty, with related topics, glossary terms, resources, and visit-preparation tools.

Educational use only

SIRIS is not medical advice, a diagnostic tool, or a way to determine surgical candidacy. Urgent concerns should go to the care team or urgent/emergency care.

Patient preparation

What SIRIS helps you do

SIRIS supports visit preparation. It does not diagnose, give medical advice, determine surgical candidacy, or replace your care team.

Prepare for surgery-related conversations

SIRIS helps patients and caregivers understand education topics before a visit so conversations with the care team can be more focused.

Review general surgical education

SIRIS can explain broad preparation, recovery, warning symptoms, and care-team question topics using available patient education materials.

Save questions for the care team

Patients can save questions from chat or add their own list of topics to bring to a surgical visit.

Export visit-preparation notes

SIRIS can export saved questions and Saved Q&A so patients have a cleaner visit-preparation summary.
