We empowered editors of an educational medical library website (built on Brightspot CMS) to integrate rich medical schema markup and automate VisualDx image ingestion, fostering inclusivity in healthcare education by enabling diverse medical image representation.
The website is part of an initiative that aims to increase diversity and representation in medical illustrations. Currently, the vast majority of medical illustrations depict lighter skin tones.
Consider the following statistics:
As a growing medical resource, the goal of this website is to improve medical education for future healthcare providers by ensuring they have exposure to a wider range of skin tones when learning about different medical conditions.
Role: Senior Software Engineer
Enhanced SEO with Medical Condition Structured Data: Strategized and implemented a CMS feature that allows editors to integrate rich medical data alongside content, improving information organization and searchability.
Scheduled VisualDx Image Ingestion via API: Developed backend logic to automatically import image data from VisualDx at set intervals, thus streamlining the editorial process and ensuring a steady flow of diverse medical images.
Enhanced Information Architecture: Implemented a system using the VisualDx API to automatically add relevant diagnosis tags to imported images. This enabled efficient data retrieval and improved the overall information architecture of the system.
Editors working within the CMS are able to accomplish their goals with ease due to the integration of automated processes, enhanced SEO, and improved information architecture from the CMS side. We were able to directly address the core goal of the website's initiative by improving the editorial workflow to provide images featuring a wider range of skin tones.
Our contribution enables editors to easily represent diverse patient populations within their content. As a result, this leads to a more inclusive learning experience for future healthcare providers.
