Simplified visuals for better patient communication
Use those precious minutes to explain complex information simply and effectively
Many patients find medical information hard to understand.
Using medical illustration can bridge the gap between complex information and patient understanding.
Information is complicated
Traditional patient education materials are often text-heavy and filled with complicated medical jargon.
There’s no time
There are just a few minutes at the bedside to give patients the necessary information.
Patients learn better with visuals
Studies show that people understand and remember information better when it’s presented visually.
This leads to
I create visuals to help patients understand common medical problems quickly.
I know medical concepts can be confusing for someone without a medical background. As both an ER doctor and a medical illustrator, I’ve been creating simple visuals of common medical problems for the last 20 years.
My visuals
| Visuals ARE | Visuals ARE NOT |
|---|---|
| Geared for the patient (health literacy is 2nd-3rd grade level) | Geared for the medical professional |
| Exaggerated (for clinical relevance) | Realistic and drawn to scale |
| Simplified | Detailed |
| Meant to be understood in 2-3 minutes at the bedside | Meant for detailed, sit down and study |
| Based on questions patients really ask | Comprehensive to cover all aspects of a disease process. |
