2D Medical Animation Services
In industries that provide a complex service, animation videos are an absolutely invaluable aid. And, the medical field is a prime example of how animation videos can keep everyone - from staff to patients - informed, comfortable and happy with your service. Medical animation is, as its name suggests, a specialist type of animated content that's precisely designed for the medical sector.
These videos span a huge variety of styles, content topics and target audiences, depending on the exact needs of the medical provider. The aim of these videos is to create a clear and succinct explanation of a complicated topic. And so, as you can imagine, this improved communication is particularly valuable in healthcare -not only in supporting patients and helping them to feel informed and comfortable, but also in training staff, and keeping site visitors complicit with the latest regulations.
For instance, the topics that 2D medical animation videos commonly cover include:
- An explanation for site visitors - outlining what they should do upon arrival
- Health and safety guides for visitors’ time with you
- Useful information for patient waiting rooms - such as, healthy eating guides
- Supporting key messages from your staff - such as, a guide to taking antibiotics
- On-site safety messages - this was commonly used to support COVID-19 safety efforts
- Supporting older patients, and helping them to use new technologies - such as, a guide to making online bookings
- Responding to seasonal developments - creating a guide to flu prevention in winter, and hay fever signs during the summer, for example
- Updates about specific viruses or illnesses that are spreading - to inform the public, and help them deploy preventative measures
- Directing patients to other resources - such as, charities, support groups or online resources
The importance of animation across the medical industry
Now, while you could use written text with stationary illustrations to convey these messages, here’s why 2D animated videos are well worth the investment. Firstly, did you know that 96% of people have watched an explainer video, in order to learn more about a product or a service? As you can see from this monumental stat, explainer videos naturally garner attention and draw audiences in. Thanks to their bright colours, bold designs and personable characters, they easily stand out (even in a busy environment) and are highly watchable.
Secondly, studies have shown that video content improves viewer retention of your key messages. Recent research has revealed that viewers remember 95% of a message when it is delivered by video. But, when the message is delivered by text alone, this figure plummets to just 10%.
As you can see, explainer videos are a hugely powerful tool, particularly when you’re explaining important topics to patients or delivering staff training sessions. It is also important to note that medical animation videos are not short films - they are clear and to the point. These videos are made to be understood by as many people as possible, and deliver the key messages simply and articulately.

Our approach to 2D medical animation
At OK Social, we work with each brand on a close one-to-one basis, to devise a targeted piece of content that fulfills all of their specific requirements.
We know that, to achieve the best results, each piece of content needs to be as unique as the brands themselves. This goes beyond creating recognisable characters and entertaining storylines, to precisely engineering the content to match the brand’s tone of voice, and the exact target audience.
When working with brands to create medical animation videos, our approach includes:
- Understanding our clients’ requirements - we start by meeting the clients, and gaining a firm understanding of their KPIs for the animated medical videos. This includes the target audience, intended use case and plans for publishing, plus brand guidelines and tone of voice.
- Conducting research and developing a script - the most common requirement for these videos is that they successfully enhance healthcare education, be it for internal training or patient education. So, to ensure these videos are as informative and valuable as possible, we do extensive research, to develop a comprehensive yet precise educational script.
- Storyboarding and designs - throughout the creative process, we guide the client through the key stages of animation, keeping them constantly informed and involved. So, once the script has been finalised, we start creating the storyboards, and making the vision for character and setting designs a reality.
- Animation production - the beauty of animation is the wide range of types of animation for healthcare that are available for organisations to choose from. During the production phase, we will work with the client to identify the most effective animation type for their specific video. Then, we will give the story and its characters life, through a sleek and entertaining animation style.
- Sound and voiceover - the final step in the creation process, we add sound effects and a voiceover to bring all of the other elements together. While the sound effects ensure a professional and entertaining finish, the voiceover keeps the content engaging, informative and crystal clear.
- Feedback, revisions and delivery - throughout the process, we give the brand multiple opportunities for feedback. This ensures the content is in complete alignment with their goals and vision. Finally, once the cycles of feedback and revisions are complete, we deliver the animation in their chosen format, ready to share with their audiences.
