Medical and scientific animations

What are science and medical animations?

Medical and science animations are short animated films on scientific topics, usually lasting from one to several minutes. They are special animations because they have an extremely responsible social role. With them, we can present any scientific or medical issue in the most accurate way, making it easier for the audience to understand a difficult topic. This is extremely important in an age of increasingly complex scientific knowledge and ubiquitous misinformation on the Internet.

What role does science animation play?

Patient education

Animations are often indispensable in educating patients, especially about the effects of drugs or the course of medical procedures. They make it possible to present difficult medical or biological subjects in a simplified and easy-to-understand form. In this way, patients can better understand what, for example, an operation or the entire course of treatment will look like, and thus not be so afraid of them. In this way, animations also create greater trust. With their help, the doctor can explain the diagnosis, the planned treatment and the potential risks and benefits of specific procedures in simple terms. After all: once we know something, it is no longer so scary.

Training of doctors and medical staff

Medical animations are also an invaluable tool for medical students and medical staff. Animations assist in the acquisition of knowledge and practical skills. They can be used to demonstrate anatomical body structures, the course of diseases and various surgical techniques. And all this in an accessible and easily digestible way. Today, many scientific publications are in audiovisual form. Our animation studio has also created such animations.

Recognition at medical trade fairs and conferences

Another extremely important benefit is the possibility of using medical animations for marketing and promotional purposes. Thanks to them, we can present the unique features and advantages of medical products, procedures and the latest technologies. Such animations are effective in attracting the attention of potential customers and investors, especially at trade fairs and industry conferences. After all, nothing catches the eye like movement.

Promoting knowledge on medical topics

Medical animations can also be used to promote health awareness. They can be used to present various types of information related to the first symptoms of a disease or information on disease prevention. With good storytelling, patients may also be more willing to take action to look after their health, such as more frequent check-ups.

Presenting research

Animations are also an excellent way of presenting the results of scientific research and discoveries in medicine, biology or biotechnology. With animation, complex processes can be visually presented in a simple way, which in turn makes the essence of the issue easy to understand and - thanks to the visual form - memorable for the audience. This can be used during conferences, symposia or scientific presentations.

Why use animation?

First of all, an animation is easier to read than a long and complicated text. This does not mean that animation replaces it; it is often rather a complement to it. Through visual representation, they show processes that are difficult to understand, such as the action of drugs, chemical transformations, the functioning of organs or the action of cells. They can do this by animating step-by-step sequences, diagrams, simulations or other visual techniques. The form of such animations varies greatly and depends on what needs to be explained. 2D and 3D animations are the most commonly used. 

How much does a medical animation cost?

The prices of medical animations can vary greatly. A great deal depends on the subject matter itself and what form the project will take: will it be 2D or 3D animation? 

Simpler 2D animations tend to be in the range of € 2-3 thousand per minute, while more complex animations using 3D graphics can cost several times more.

Our studio specialises in:

  • medical animations (anatomy, medical procedures, surgery, etc.)
  • process animations
  • educational and informational animations
