For over three decades the company has been investigating the role that health

literacy and information design both play in delivering effective health messages

to the general public - and the platforms that are use to delivered them on

This research began in 1996 in association with Medical Science Research and led to the

creation of our proprietary consumer health information series Diseases Explained

It continued in partnership with US clinical publisher Lexi-Com, Inc in association with

Case Western University Teaching Hospital's Department of Family Practice in Ohio

In 2003 our reference book, A Patient's Guide to Diseases and Conditions, was first published

in the US - and endorsed by The American Academy of Family Physician's Foundation

In 2007 this research also formed the basis for Coventry University's new MA

in Health Communication Design - the inaugural offering at the launch of

the Health Design & Technology Institute in the UK

This work was also certified in 2013 by the Royal Society for Public Health under

the UK Department of Health's new NHS Information Standard

- and endorsed by the Family Doctor's Association

The company has also regularly shared the results of this research with our colleagues

throughout the rest of the healthcare industry in our design training sessions

Participants include - The NHS, Public Health Agencies, Patient Support Groups,

Pharmaceutical Companies, Clinical Laboratories, Medical Charities,
