Description

This course, divided into 3 distinct parts, focuses on the fundamentals of effective visual narrative messaging for improving health-related behavior.  We start with the lens of design thinking to learn about communication and interaction challenges in healthcare and what tools can be used to address these challenges. In the second part of the course, students will explore how the visual arts can contribute to positive engagement in healthcare.  And finally, the students will be introduced to the opportunities and challenges of crafting accurate and engaging scientific visualization narratives.
