Empowering people to take control of their health Boston Heart Diagnostics

Boston Heart Diagnostics brand system

Boston Heart Diagnostics is a diagnostics lab that offers healthcare providers and their patients novel and proprietary testing, individualized reports, and integrated lifestyle programs. Through extensive research and clinical studies, they showed that standard lipid profiling did not adequately identify individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease. They developed and made available advanced methodologies to identify individuals at risk and address this unmet medical need.

In order to effectively spread their message to the medical community and its patients, they needed a consistent and personalized brand that could speak to their purpose and goals and that would also drive internal alignment. The brand would establish Boston Heart as the scientific leader in cardiovascular diagnostics, one that offers integrated, turn-key solutions for healthcare providers. By using direct and simple language, bold and legible typography, and educational graphics, the energetic brand was designed to be straightforward, but positive, hopeful, trustworthy, approachable, and, above all, helpful

Helping patients to understand their risk factors and engage in personal health initiatives

Diagnostic Report

Patients with cardiovascular disease often struggle to adhere to lifestyle changes because they do not understand their risks and they feel disassociated from their health. Informed and engaged patients can make better decisions about their health and, in the case of lifestyle changes, which we know are extremely effective at preventing and mediating cardiovascular disease, patients are more likely to adhere to these changes.

The Diagnostic Report, important for patient health insights, traditionally consisted of jargon only helpful to HCPs. It was redesigned to be a tool for the patients, completely personalized to give a clear understanding of their individual health risks. These documents, recognized for being innovative detailed a patient’s condition with intuitive graphics and simple language paired with a layperson’s explanation of the cardiovascular system and a description of the implications of these test findings on their health.
