Our Work
Swallowing Difficulties
Building an online resource & product database to educate patients and HCPs about dysphagia & liquid medicines.
The Challenge
The SwallowingDifficulties.com website is designed to help patients, carers and medical professionals make more informed decisions when taking, administering or prescribing medicines for patients with swallowing difficulties.
The original website and drugs database was difficult to maintain, update and search. Our brief was twofold. The website needed to be rebuilt in a way that made it easy to update. In particular the drugs database which requires regular changes needed to be maintained on an almost daily basis to keep it accurate. Secondly, the design needed to appeal to a broad-spectrum audience whilst proving a platform that allowed individuals to communicate with like-minded people.
