Evidence, Animated
Clinical evidence you can watch in a minute. Every number sourced.
Why evidence needs help
Evidence is the foundation of good care, yet it often does not reach the patient. In a national study of 12 US metropolitan areas, adults received 54.9% of recommended care [1]. A companion study found that children received 46.5% of indicated care [2]. Both studies are two decades old, but they measured what still matters: the distance between what the evidence recommends and what patients receive.
Evidence that sits unread in a journal helps nobody. Each film here takes one clinical question and shows what the data say, in about a minute, with the source for every number on screen.
How I make them with Claude
I choose the question and the sources. Claude, Anthropic's AI model, drafts the storyboard and writes each film as code: every chart, trace and caption is drawn by software and cut to a musical beat. There is no stock footage and no AI-generated video.
Before anything appears on screen, every reference is checked against PubMed or the primary document, and every number is traced to its source. I review each scene and decide what stays. Curves labeled "schematic" are teaching illustrations; everything else comes from the cited publications.
