Online Peripheral Nerve Injury Patient Resource

Background
Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a lesser known yet common neuropathy involving trauma to the peripheral nervous system. Most PNIs result from unexpected accidents and treatment is filled with uncertainty given variation in injury, treatment options, and recovery timeline. As a result, patients often feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to expect, especially in a clinical setting. 

Project Objectives
To bridge this gap, the focus of this research project was to develop an interactive educational web resource that will help patients understand more about the treatment process. The resource features illustrations, interactive elements, and content in plain language to help patients and their families better visualize and understand their injury. This tool is intended to facilitate patient care-provider conversations and serve as a comprehensive resource that patients can revisit at any point in their PNI journey.

Case study coming soon! In the meantime, feel free to check out the resource here.
