J Vis Commun Med. 2023 Jun 2:1-10. doi: 10.1080/17453054.2023.2216249. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCare paves efficient ways to sustain life during illness, nonetheless, caring for a chronically ill person is a hard, demanding, tedious and unglamorous work, often fraught with challenges. In contrast, creativity refers to a generative process that brings something new into existence. For instance, creativity implies a moment of discovery, the birth of new ideas, crossing existing boundaries among others. Perfusing creativity with care practices mitigates the difficult experiences, and aid in the healthy management of chal...

Preparing anatomical scan data for sharing online
J Vis Commun Med. 2023 May 30:1-10. doi: 10.1080/17453054.2023.2216238. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis paper gives an overview of working with anatomical scan data such as CT and surface scans. The various types of scans are discussed along with their pros and cons, before going on to provide a detailed guide as to how these can be further post-processed. A method for cleaning and enhancing scan data using the 3D modelling software ZBrush is outlined. Finally, a method for sharing the resulting scans online via Sketchfab is presented.PMID:37249272 | DOI:10.1080/17453054.2023.2216238 (Source: Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine)

Meanings and functions of different types of heart images in the communication of doctors and patients
J Vis Commun Med. 2023 May 11:1-9. doi: 10.1080/17453054.2023.2205911. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImages in medical communication are appreciated by both professionals and patients, but we know little about how they are actually used in clinical practice and in the learning processes of patients. This qualitative study investigates the use and the meaning potential of two different types of heart images: the hand-drawn doctor's sketch and the digital illustration from the web. The analysis starts with how these are recontextualised in social media, tracks them back to their original contexts and finally explores their m...
