medical narration

what is medical narration?

Technological advancements, updated practices, and industry-wide changes are a constant in medicine. Billions of dollars are spent in training programs, conferences, and seminars that help keep doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals up to date on their skills and training. As a result, the demand for high quality voice over and video content is at an all time high.

Because the training for these professionals is so important (it helps them save more lives, after all) it’s important to create medical narration content that is highly effective and high quality.

Types of medical narrations

Medical content comes in many different flavors. For example: a fast-talking medical disclaimer in a television commercial, or perhaps an educational course module for professional development. Here are some more types of medical narrations:

• Content for healthcare professionals: content for university courses, continuing education, or professional development is a necessity in the medical field. Treatments and technology advance at a rapid pace in this field, so professionals must stay on the forefront of best practices to ensure the best possible care for their patients.

• Important safety information: when sharing information about a perscription drug through an advertisement, it’s required by the FDA to “present a fair balance between information relating to risks and benefits” in the ad. Therefore, it’s important to choose the right voice to present this fairly balanced information to potential patients.

• Medical device video voiceovers: whether it’s a tongue depressor or a defibrillator, instructional videos are crucial to ensuring that medical professionals use equipment properly. A professionally narrated medical device video helps users utilize equipment to its fullest potential, which can help save lives. Additionally, manufactures of such equipment often commission videos that will inform their userbase, and help sell the devices to more medical facilities by demonstrating their efficacy.

There are many more types of medical narrations as well: recorded appointment reminders, automated prescription refills, quality control surveys, and more. For all of these medical narrations, it’s important to choose the right voice for the job. Someone with a calm, reassuring voice that is clear and professional would likely be a good choice.
