Having graphics to visualise and supplement wordy medicine prescriptions is to help elderly, carer and ethnic minorities to well communicate the medication instruction which is a small yet important step in promoting medication adherence in “ageing in places”, self-care and social inclusion.
We conducted research on the drug labels globally, and with the help of local medical professionals and communication design professionals, we have created 30 unified, localised and user-friendly Drug Icons and public health education materials in Chinese, English and Urdu, under Creative Commons licenses.
