This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing whether gentle reminders—sent to either your doctor, you as a patient, or both—can help more people get genetic testing when it could change their medical care. The research focuses on serious inherited conditions like heart problems, neurological diseases, and aortic aneurysms. Researchers want to see which types of reminders work best to help doctors and patients make decisions about genetic testing.
Many patients who could benefit from genetic testing never receive it, even when it could help their doctors plan better treatment. This study is trying to figure out the most effective ways to remind doctors and patients about genetic testing so that people with inherited conditions get the care they need.

Your role will be mostly passive—your doctors and the research team will use your medical records to see if you might benefit from genetic testing. Depending on which group you're in, you might receive a text message encouraging you to talk with your doctor about genetic testing, or your doctor might receive a reminder to discuss it with you. Over 3 years, the study team will track whether genetic testing gets ordered and how it affects your care, with occasional surveys or questions about your experience.
