What is the Story-Driven Method?
Lifeology Original courses have a proven track record of emotionally engaging and retaining broader audiences, helping them learn information or inspiring them to take action.
This is because these courses incorporate science communication and health literacy best practices based on evidence. These best practices include plain language, narrative to improve accessibility and retention, custom stylistic artwork that complements the text-based narrative, actionable information and an empathetic approach to portraying people’s lived experiences.
Putting these practices into action requires collaboration between experts, storytellers, artists and audience members. This is why collaboration is a key component of the Lifeology Story-Driven Method. Lifeology Originals are always vetted by scientific experts outside to ensure accuracy. They are reviewed by audience reviewers, patients or advocates to ensure that they present information in a way that is empathetic, inclusive and relevant. They always feature the visuals of a professional illustrator.

Who we’ve worked with
Lifeology clients and partners have used our Story-Driven Method to reach, educate or inspire audiences who may traditionally be difficult to reach, underserved by existing content, vulnerable or at risk of experiencing low literacy. For example, Eli Lilly has created courses with us using our Story-Driven Method to help empower people of color to make decisions about participating in clinical trials. Learn more about that here.
