Project Description
The patient brochure “Getting in step with your pacemaker” is a support document for patients who are in the process or have already received a pacemaker implant. The brochure intends to educate patients on the parts and functionality of pacemakers to better understand their treatment journey. The brochure begins by providing a brief overview of a heart’s natural rhythm and potential changes in rhythm. It is assumed that the patient has been diagnosed, and their care provider has already explained their heart’s pathology. Following the overview of the heart’s rhythm, the brochure opens to visualize the pacemaker and discusses the major parts and functions of the device. Finally, because the pacemaker depicted is unbranded, the brochure may act as a proof of concept for potential clients in the medical device sector.
