Patients attending Nuclear Cardiology departments for myocardial perfusion imaging often arrive with negative expectations and misconceptions about their appointment experience.  Patients undergoing cardiac imaging are often struggling with chronic illness and existential uncertainty.  Although leaflets deliver the appropriate clinical information about their appointments, they don’t serve the prescient need for reassurance.

This mobile Application was developed in collaboration with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. With this development, I utilised the psychoeducational effect of narrative to deliver information to patients attending MPI appointments.

During 3 months of clinical observation I witnessed the compassionate, service of the Advanced Technologist team. Through life drawings and gesture based sketches, I captured realistic depictions of the patient experience for the purposes of patient centred education.
