The New England Journal of Medicine created the Double Take series to harness the power of video stories to bring trusted health information to medical audiences and non-medical audiences. They brought us on as their main external partner on the project. For season one we created videos on five health topics – Sickle Cell and Gene Therapy, Migraine, Weight, Atrial Fibrillation, and Malaria.
For the second season of The New England Journal of Medicine’s Double Take series, we created video stories on: Type 2 Diabetes, Gun Storage, Community Violence, Medical Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder, Alzheimer’s Disease, and Depression.
