How to use your inhaler: a compiled video
A video built from a reviewed script, not generated by a video model, so every frame says what the reviewers approved.
Animated explainer video. For Darnell, 52: new to a daily inhaler, would rather watch than read (illustrative).
Opens in a new tab. A concept demo, not medical advice.
What it shows
- Captions, audio description, a transcript and a still-picture mode
- A pause question: "Which step comes next?"
- Every step on one printable card
- A hand-off to a free pharmacist technique check
Try it
- Play the video and answer the pause question
- Turn on audio description
- Switch to still pictures
How HealthLiteracyCopilot would build it
- A storyboard becomes a scene graph, rendered by HealthLiteracyCopilot's own HTML and SVG renderer, with no video model
- Narration voiced with a disclosed synthetic voice, plus a timed caption file and an audio description track
- Checked with PEMAT-A/V, the CDC Clear Communication Index and a WCAG 2.2 media checklist
- Simulated viewers (simulated participants, not patients) flag the confusing step for human review
Draws on: Create · Assess · Behavior change
Why the techniques work
Findings about the techniques, not results of this concept or of HealthLiteracyCopilot.
Techniques
- Demonstration of a physical skill
- Embedded comprehension check
- WCAG 2.2 media checklist
Behavior change techniques
- Demonstration of the behavior
- Behavioral practice and rehearsal
- Social support (practical)
In pooled studies, video improved comprehension more than written material, with no significant advantage over talking it through in person.
In an experiment with adults 55 and older, spoken messages improved recall over written ones among people with low health literacy.
Guardrails
- It never replaces a pharmacist's technique check
- Each device version is reviewed on its own
- No personal health information is used
- Every output has a complete text and print fallback
Questions
Is this something HealthLiteracyCopilot does today?
Not as shown here. HealthLiteracyCopilot reviews written health content for plain language and accessibility today. These concept demos show where it is going: the same review discipline carried into interactive, audio, video and voice formats. Organizations can help shape it as design partners.
Is the video made by a generative video model?
No. In this concept the video is compiled from a reviewed script and pictures, so nothing appears on screen that reviewers did not approve.
