DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Studies show that complementing text with pictures can increase the comprehension and recall of the information contained in the text. In the specific domain of health care, research has also shown that adding illustrations to patient instructions can significantly increase comprehension, recall, and adherence. However, creating pictures to illustrate materials for patients is a time consuming activity that requires solid drawing skills that most medical teams lack. We propose to create an online library of health-related pictures to be populated using a participatory design model in which the efforts and contributions of health care providers and consumers alike will be used to create, assess, and revise pictures, which will be freely available for clinical teams to use in patient education materials. Participatory design is an approach to design attempting to actively involve all stakeholders in the design process in order to help ensure the product meets their needs and is usable. More than a simple participatory design approach, this project will also be based on a crowdsourcing model, which is the act of taking a job traditionally performed by a designated agent and outsourcing it to an undefined, generally large group of people in the form of an open call. All interested individuals will be fre to contribute as much as they desire. The combination of participatory design and crowdsourcing approaches will enable the library to grow and correct itself without a central authority. This approach has been successfully adopted by sites like Wikipedia. Because members of the intended audiences are allowed active participation the entire process, the pictures are much more likely to be better understood by them and trigger the intended response. The number of pictures as well as their quality will continually grow as this is an interactive system. Participants can always make improvements or alternatives to any picture in the library, at any time. The ultimate goal of this project is to have a positive impact on clinical practice by facilitating and enhancing communication between clinical teams and patients. As the picture library expands, an increasingly broad range of educational materials will benefit from it, including informed consent forms.

描述（由申请人提供）： 研究表明，用图片补充文本可以增加对文本中所包含信息的理解和回忆。在医疗保健的特定领域，研究还表明，在患者说明中添加插图可以显着提高理解、回忆和依从性。然而，为患者创建图片来说明材料是一项耗时的活动，需要扎实的绘图技能，而大多数医疗团队都缺乏这种技能。 我们建议创建一个在线健康相关图片库，使用参与式设计模型进行填充，其中医疗保健提供者和消费者的努力和贡献将用于创建、评估和修改图片，这些图片将免费提供供临床团队在患者教育材料中使用。参与式设计是一种设计方法，试图让所有利益相关者积极参与设计过程，以帮助确保产品满足他们的需求并且可用。该项目不仅仅是一种简单的参与式设计方法，还将基于众包模式，即将传统上由指定代理人执行的工作外包给未定义的、通常为大群的人，以公开通话。所有感兴趣的个人都可以随意贡献自己的力量。 参与式设计和众包方法的结合将使图书馆能够在没有中央权威的情况下发展和自我纠正。这种方法已被维基百科等网站成功采用。由于目标受众可以积极参与整个过程，因此图片更有可能被他们更好地理解并引发预期的反应。由于这是一个交互系统，图片的数量及其质量将不断增长。参与者可以随时对库中的任何图片进行改进或替代。 该项目的最终目标是通过促进临床实践产生积极影响 加强临床团队与患者之间的沟通。随着图片库的扩大，越来越多的教育材料将从中受益，包括知情同意书。
