VUmc – Infographic Biobank Hereditary Colon Cancer
(design, educational, for low literate, illustration, infographic, medical)
For the Amsterdam UMC, the VUmc location, I created an infographic about assisting medical scientific research for people with hereditary colon cancer. The illustrated information leaflet informs patients on why they might want to participate, what they are giving their consent for, and how their data will be handled.
A brief feedback round showed that patients are very happy with the infographic and find it to be a significant improvement compared to the (purely textual) information they previously received.
Following the success of this infographic, we are also working on other infographics about hereditary cancers, including ones for people with functional illiteracy and people experiencing a language barrier.
