Collaboration between MSB VCL and Indiveo

Doctors spend a lot of time explaining treatment procedures. Lost time, according to multiple studies. Once at home, patients cannot reproduce this information properly. As a solution to this problem, Indiveo has developed a digital concept that allows smart animations (DiVis) to be sent to patients in a simple way.

The medical specialists of MSB VCL at Leeuwarden Medical Center are the first to invest in the production of dozens of DiVIs. Together, MSB VCL and Indiveo have developed a community model through which other MSBs and hospitals can also participate in the development of DiVIs (digital interactive video information) for patients.

Indiveo is an initiative of pulmonologist Ralph Koppers. He observed in his own work that many of his patients cannot reproduce the information provided in the consultation. "The patient gets stuck in the conversation with the diagnosis, 'that what is wrong with him.' He has to process that before other information comes in." With Indiveo, information is offered at home, customized and visual. Thus, it can be viewed infinitely many times at leisure, alone or with loved ones.

Providing information to patients is a topic of wide interest. With Indiveo's visual animations, it's simple to see how an examination or treatment proceeds. "One patient expressed that she was no longer afraid of the examination now that she knew how it would go." Also, with Indiveo, 30% of consultation time is freed up for personal contact with the patient.

The animations and visual content offered in Indiveo were developed by physicians and are widely applicable. They offer good, unambiguous information, mostly based on national standards and common practice. Indiveo is therefore applicable throughout the Netherlands. Sharing this information and applying it uniformly can thus lead to quality improvement and cost savings in healthcare.
