HDL director Dr. Mike Evans answers the old question "What is the single most important thing we can do for our health" in a totally new way. Made with a fantastic creative team, the video has revolutionized peer-to-peer healthcare. Over 25,000 people a day have watched the video since it was posted in December 2011 with over 2 million views, and it is being translated into 7 languages by the community.

At the Health Design Lab we focus on designing teaching tools that are not just evidence-based but also incorporate principles of design - making resources findable, useable, accessible and beautiful. The Diabetes Tools available on this website aim to help people with diabetes make knowledgeable, informed decisions to stay healthy.

We often talk about clinician experts, but what about patient experts? The Health Design Lab, with our resident filmmaker Wendy Rowland, have captured expert patients from across Canada telling us about what they would tell their best friend if they had the same cancer diagnosis. Beautifully shot, edited, and curated into bite size digital storytelling pieces.

When clinicians create helpful health media, these tend to stay in the clinic or hospital. We think if they're good, they should enjoy wider distribution. See how the Health Design Lab embeds quality health products into the general media.
