I like the idea of communicating medical information efficiently, but the implementation gets a hard pass from me. It doesn’t help that it’s cool looking if it doesn’t provide any additional value.

The scales aren’t standardized, there are no guidelines for what should be included, the emojiis takes all the attention instead of the medical information, the colour gradient doesn’t add any new information, and everything is given equal attention regardless of the importance of the event. You’re also using personal information which is a giant no-no. Use a fictious persona.

So far all the feedback from doctors and nurses has been really positive so it's good to hear your feedback.

I'm a public person the info is in my book from years ago, so I don't mind sharing real information!

I’m not a doctor but my job entails a lot of communication through both text and visuals. So do what you want with my feedback!

It doesn’t matter that you’re comfortable sharing it. If you’re going to share it with others to introduce them to the concept in any kind of formal setting, you can’t use personal information. Not only is it highly unconvential, but it also draws the attantion away from your concept and towards yourself. I don’t think that’s what you want. You want the people to think «hey, this is a neat concept», not «f**k, this guy has had it rough».

The only way I could think of to incorporate your history into it is if you’re doing a brief and you start with your history/motivation, then present the concept with personas, and then circle back to how the concept would look for yourself. At that point the listeners would be familiar with you and the concept individually, and it’s easier to merge them without drawing the attention away from the concept. They will be reminded of your strong story and you show them how your concept can help explain it in an efficient and understandable way.

This sounds like what I do when I'm doing a keynote. I think to share the tool with a wider audience, I don't have that bandwidth. It's not a product or something I am selling, but something that I felt some people could use with their health care teams!
