About this use case

A patient education video explains a condition or treatment in words patients understand, so they can revisit it after the appointment and share it with family. Start from a leaflet or care guide your clinical team has approved. VibeKnow writes plain-language narration and illustrates each step. Have a clinician review it before it reaches patients.

What's in “How to Use Your Asthma Inhaler Correctly”

  • Why technique matters: a wet hit on the tongue means the dose missed the lungs.
  • Prepare: take off the cap, check the mouthpiece, shake well.
  • Breathe out, seal your lips, then press once while breathing in slowly and deeply.
  • Hold your breath for about 10 seconds; wait 30 to 60 seconds before a second puff.
  • Ask your pharmacist to check your technique at your next visit.

What happens after the patient leaves

In the room, everything makes sense. Then the patient is at home with a leaflet, a new routine and a family member asking questions they can't quite answer. Was it two puffs or one? Before food or after?

A patient education video built from the material your team already approved lets them hear the explanation again, in plain words, as often as they need. It also gives carers and relatives the same information the patient received.
