Heart Health Learning
Project
This project focuses on designing a digital educational resource based on evidence (created in Genially) for healthcare professionals training, aimed at supporting patients at risk of heart disease. The tool promotes clear, actionable lifestyle and prevention strategies to reduce heart attack risk, with a strong emphasis on usability.
It addresses a common healthcare challenge: patients often receive large amounts of preventive information during brief clinical visits but struggle to understand, retain, and apply it. Research shows that poor health literacy and information overload can reduce comprehension and follow-through (Berkman et al., 2011).
The project prioritizes usability and educational clarity to ensure the resource is accessible, understandable, and facilitates real-world behaviour change in preventative heart health.
Core usability question: How can a digital educational tool be designed so patients can easily understand, remember, and act on preventative heart health strategies after a clinical consultation?
Technologies: Genially, Adobe Firefly, ChatGPT, Claude, Adobe Photoshop

Design Approach
Clean, static visual design
Utilizes simple, uncluttered visuals to present information clearly in this digital educational resource, which is designed for healthcare professionals training, while avoiding unnecessary interaction and reducing cognitive load, particularly in the context of preventative heart health.
Guided exploration pathways
The digital educational resource is organized in a clear, linear flow, helping healthcare professionals training in preventative heart health move through key concepts step-by-step with ease.
Lightweight decision points
Minimal, intuitive navigation within this digital educational resource allows healthcare professionals training to progress or revisit content without confusion, supporting a smooth and focused experience in preventative heart health.
