National data indicate that more than one-third of U.S. adults have limited health literacy, which contributes to poor health outcomes and affects patient safety, and healthcare access and quality. Although several tools screen for limited health literacy, they are primarily used for research.1
VUCA Health, a Lumistry Company, offers tools for patients to help them understand their health and medications. Their purpose all comes down to improving health literacy. At VUCA Health, they want to empower patients with trusted and easy-to-comprehend information to participate in care decisions and self-manage their health.
Their library of solutions includes medication-specific videos that discuss indications. VUCA Health also offers guides to using inhalers, self-injection techniques, and more. And they have a wide-ranging compilation of vital information for specific disease states.
The video collections are:
• Available in both English and Spanish.
• Designed for 5th-grade reading level.
• Average about two minutes in length.
• Professionally produced for enterprise quality.
• No exchange of personal health information is needed.
