HealthWave
About
HealthWave creates animations that make it easy for patients
and caretakers to understand complicated medical
procedures such as breast cancer surgery by watching them
on their smartphones. HealthWaveâs CEO, Dr. Hee Doo
Chung, M.D., was a general surgeon at Seoul National
University Hospital.
âHiChartâ
In 2011, HealthWave launched the worldâs first information
prescription service called âHiChart.â HiChart has hundreds of
animations that explain how complicated medical procedures
are performed as well as the risks & side effects.
In the past, it may have taken an hour for a doctor to explain
to a patient about a complex surgery with diagrams and
printed materials. In addition to the time this required, there
was often a gap between the understanding that the doctor
wanted to convey and the patientâs actual understanding of
the procedure.
Now when a doctor prescribes a HiChart animation for the
patient to watch on a smartphone, this not only helps the
patient to fully understand the procedure, closing the gap in
understanding, but it also saves time.

⢠HealthWave has created 900 animations (with exclusive
