Important information, easy to understand
Story Doctor uses animation, storytelling and language to make health and community information more accessible to individuals, families and communities.
From “Keeping Strong” In your first language
Many stories are voiced in Indigenous languages as well as English, so the message comes through clearly.
From “Angiogram” Shown, not just told
Animation explains what happens in hospital, at the clinic or at home without relying on written English.
From “Wellbeing” Made with community
Stories are developed with cultural consultants, translators, community members and health experts.
From “Phone Boy” Simple to use
Big pictures, spoken titles and no sign-up. Open it in a browser and start watching.
What people are saying
My Aboriginal Liaison Officer team are so very grateful for the support, we just love working with iTalk Studios, together we can, will and do, make magic.
The Story Doctor animations provide a culturally safe platform that educates and provides the relevant information suited to our Aboriginal patients in Central Australia.
Our collaboration is a wonderful combination of health-education and creativity at its finest. I set out to create resources to empower and inform patients at the Royal Adelaide Hospital, I didn’t envision the result could be so powerful. Your team’s animation and story telling bring humanity and life!
Having Story Doctor in Alice Springs Hospital would be enormously beneficial for the wellbeing of all patients, and helpful with the relationships between patients and doctors because of the challenges of communication between staff and Indigenous patients.
It would increase the health literacy of our patients and provide substantial improvement in the capacity of patients to provide their genuine, informed consent. This means that they can be true participants in their own health journey.
I wanted to take a moment to express how much of a pleasure it has been working with you and your incredible team. Thank you for your outstanding work!
The team at italk Studios was fantastic to work with. Your professionalism, creativity, and ability to bring our vision to life were exceptional. It was a smooth and highly collaborative process that delivered great results.
You have no idea of how moved people are….. Poignant.
