Healthcare Is Not Immune


It's awfully hard to use information if you can't first understand it. Following a path blazed by Target's award-winning ClearRx prescription bottles, Information is Beautiful has redesigned the blood test commonly used to spot heart disease.

In the new version, the test results are easier to understand. With a quick glance, a patient can determine his or her risk for heart disease and learn about how to respond.

I'd love to see this and other redesigns put into use. Give people information they can understand and they will take better care of themselves. After all, knowledge is power!
