What Are HealthDay Interactive Infographics?
HealthDay's Interactive Infographics take complex health and medical topics and present them in a way that is appealing, intuitive and engaging. We realize that a new generation prefers images to text, and welcomes the ability to swipe and click-through information. The content is created as a stand-alone HTML file which can either exist as a separate page, or be embedded in an article, blog post, or on your social media.
Why Do Clients Use Our Interactive Infographics?
HealthDay's media clients are looking to present information to viewers in a whole new way, and are particularly focused on new formats that work well on mobile and social media. Our infographics allow the user to quickly flick through to discover information that is of most interest. This ability to quickly get to the most meaningful content greatly increases client engagement. Providing users with an intuitive interface as a portal to further content increases page visit times on websites.
Our Point of Care clients are challenged with the task of making the best of the extended patient wait times. They use HealthDay's Interactive Infographics on digital wallboards either in the physician's office or in the waiting room, built as media around which they are selling advertising. Physicians can use the format to better explain symptoms/prognosis to a patient. In the waiting room scenario, Interactive Infographics displayed on touchscreen digital wallboards helps to entertain and educate patients while they wait for care. This reduces frustration with wait times, and could also be used to capture patient details.
Can Clients Customize Interactive Infographics?
Yes. We have a stock of generic Interactive Infographics that are ready for plug and play. But should a client require a solution for a specific subject area, we can quickly develop an Interactive Infographic to meet that need. You give us the topic, and we use our content to create the end product.
How Are They Delivered?
Delivery can be tailored to meet each client's intended use. We can deliver an HTML page with the Interactive Infographic pre-embedded within. The Infographics themselves can be delivered as a self-contained zip folder of HTML files and related CSS and images. Or it could be as simple as a preview image delivered to your site, which would link through to the files on our server.
