At the Health Design Lab, we wanted to develop a way to educate the public about medications that was informative but also entertaining and engaging. We used HOCKEY to teach people about the various diabetes medications depicted through an illustrated story and accompanying hockey cards.

Looking for a cheap patient guide that can be tailored by the user, localised, and used by the web savvy or the web-naïve? That can be imbedded in clinic, home, or work and takes advantage of other high quality resources?

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.

Want to see the latest research on your health topic of interest while you listen to an expert review and add their two cents? Want to watch it in the comfort of your home; when you are ready? Welcome to the Health Design Lab's narrated slideshow explainers.

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.
