At In-Range Animation, we combine our passion and expertise in animation with our firsthand experience living with type 1 diabetes. We develop web-based, animated micro-learning videos that addresses the unmet needs of time, access, customization, equity and engagement regarding diabetes education. While patients and families are able to access both foundational and cutting edge diabetes education on demand, providers and educators are allowed more time to create individualized management goals and needs.
Our research-based approach reaches individuals with limited access to care, overburdened hospitals and clinics, and caregivers who feel unsure of how to support their loved one.
About Animated Micro-Learning
Our Formula
We blend three technologies shown to improve health outcomes and/or knowledge1.
- Animated storytelling creates emotional connections to data.
- The T1D Knowledge Assessment Tool (or KAT-12) is an expansive multiple-choice exam that covers topics like Hypoglycemia and Ketones, created by an ADCES Award Winner.
- Micro-learning consists of concise single-topic modules, that are searchable, and available on demand.
Competitors may use one or two of these tools, but none use all three.
The Knowledge Enforcement Quiz
First, I log in.
Then I select a topic, like exercise.
I answer related questions.
I get my test score and a list of videos to watch.
Over the next 3 months, I watch the animated micro-learning videos that answer the questions I missed, like this sample curriculum video. After watching the videos, I retake the questions.
