Web Design

Astute Technology can develop an attractive and user-friendly Web interface that fits your company's or organization's needs. Our primary concern is that all our Web sites are easy to navigate and appealing allowing users to focus on your message and content. We have a team of award-winning graphic designers who are experienced at working with different clients and meeting their needs.

Astute's experience includes developing Web sites for medical associations like the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (www.ASGE.org) and the American College of Cardiology (www.ACC.org), as well as, pharmaceutical initiatives such as Center for Pharmacy (www.centerforpharmacy.com). We design and develop entire sites from initial phases through full deployment or offer you solutions to redesign your existing site to update the look and feel or make it more exciting and meaningful. We can also design a site that links from your existing Web site that has a matching look and feel. Examples of this can be seen in most of our webcasting and continuing education initiatives that we have placed online for organizations like Oncology Educational Services and The INOVA Health Systems.

We do all of this by working with you to find the solution that is unique for you and your audience. During development, we provide you with compositions and prototypes to ensure that we are on the right track. And, when appropriate, we prioritize our development so that you get your most important features on-line first.

Animation and Medical Illustration

Astute's talented staff of highly-trained medical illustrators and animators have developed a wide range of material from still medical illustrations for printed pieces to 2-D and 3-D animations and medical training games for Web sites. We have created patient education illustrations and animations for such diseases as diabetes, asthma, GERD, hypertension, and depression. Some of these instruct users on how to use medical equipment or what causes their disease, while others show how medications work and what effect they have on the body. We also develop interactive activities that allow users to learn by being involved in the experience. For example, we created an interactive game to instruct patients on how to minimize asthma triggers in their homes ("Ease the Wheeze") and another to instruct how Hepatitis affects the liver ("HepaChallenge"). Recently we created an animation to show what occurs during hearing implant surgery www.cochlearamericas.com/what/223.asp.

Astute can target a wide variety of audiences for you. We create animations for medical professionals, pharmaceutical sales representatives, adult patients, and children. The animations range from showing orthopedic surgeons how an ultrasound device helps heal bone fractures to teaching children how John Glenn's flight into space affected his sleep cycle.

Our medical illustrators work with you to determine your goals and priorities. Our process starts by creating thumbnails that demonstrate the content and flow of the animation. We then develop sketches, render the color images and finally, animate them. As we develop your product, you see every step in the process via our client services web interface, SAMI.
