#EYA2014 - Healthy Life: AniMedes
The European Youth Award is a pan-European contest to select and honour "Digital Creativy for Social Good!". The seven categories of #EYA2014 concentrate on Europe’s most pressing challenges as defined by the Council of Europe and EU strategy Europe 2020 in 2014. Winner in the category Healthy Life is AniMedes.AniMedes is an innovative, multilingual app that provides complex medical information to patients prior to surgery by digital and mobile means. Patients can inform themselves about upcoming treatments by watching short, easily understandable, 3D-animated patient education movies at a bedside terminal, iPad, Windows-PC or on other devices. Every movie contains information about the indication, treatment, risks and side effects or possible options. 3D-animations in clear audiovisual language constitute a valuable information source, especially for illiterate patients, people with reading or learning disabilities, or simply people who speak a different language than their doctor. Patients watch the movies before their conversation with the attending physician.
Die Kurzvideos wurden mit freundlicher Unterstützung durch das Grazer Know Center produziert.
