Health Content Your Reviewers Can Approve
Health and science content has to satisfy two audiences: the people watching and the experts approving. Pixeldust has produced science and medical video for two decades for WebMD, NIH, the National Institute on Aging and Mayo Clinic, from patient stories about life with MS to explainers on hepatitis C and lymphoma. You get clear, human storytelling with accuracy built into every step.
Seasoned medical animation specialists lead your project from day one. They speak your language and know the science, so your team can rest easy and spend its time reviewing, not explaining. Every project includes review checkpoints with your medical reviewers at script, storyboard and rough cut, so content is accurate and compliant before it is published, with fewer surprises for your timeline and your approval process.
We combine documentary interviews, animation and motion graphics in-house, so you work with one team instead of coordinating several. Each production delivers versions for patients, clinicians, researchers and the public, in every format they use, with captions and languages ready for wider reach.
Our science and medical video process
Every Pixeldust video production follows the same proven six-stage pipeline, refined over two decades of broadcast, healthcare, and corporate production. You review and approve at every stage, so there are no surprises, no scope creep, and no missed deadlines.

What we create
Pixeldust produces the full range of science and medical video content. We create mechanism-of-action animations that visualize how drugs, therapies, and biological processes work at the molecular and cellular level with scientific precision and visual clarity. We produce patient education videos that explain diagnoses, treatment options, and care procedures in language and visuals that patients and families can understand and act on.
We develop clinical trial and research communication videos that present study designs, results, and implications for scientific and regulatory audiences. We create medical device demonstration videos that show how devices work, how they are used, and what clinical outcomes they deliver. We also produce continuing medical education content, conference presentations, and scientific keynote visualizations that elevate how research is communicated to professional audiences worldwide.
Our capabilities span live-action production, 2D and 3D medical animation, hybrid approaches, and data visualization — allowing us to choose the format that best serves the content and the audience for every project. We also produce surgical procedure animations, anatomical visualizations, and disease-state education content that supports clinical decision-making and patient engagement across the care continuum.
Every project is produced under rigorous scientific review protocols, with multiple checkpoints for accuracy verification involving your medical and scientific advisors at every stage of production.

Industries We Serve
Our science and medical content work serves pharmaceutical and biotech companies communicating mechanisms of action, clinical data, and treatment benefits to prescribers, payers, and patients. We work with medical device manufacturers demonstrating product capabilities and clinical applications to surgical teams and procurement committees. We serve hospitals and health systems producing patient education, informed consent, and community health content.
We also produce content for research institutions and universities communicating discoveries and grant-funded work to public audiences, government health agencies creating public health campaigns and educational materials, medical publishers and CME providers developing visual content for professional education, and nonprofit health organizations raising awareness and driving action on specific conditions and causes.
Our team also works with health insurance companies, pharmacy benefit managers, and healthcare consultancies that need to explain complex healthcare systems, policies, and formulary decisions to diverse audiences through clear, accessible visual storytelling.

The Business Case for Science and Medical Content
For pharmaceutical and biotech companies, high-quality medical animation is a competitive advantage at every stage of the product lifecycle. In the lab, animation helps communicate research findings to funding bodies and partners. In clinical trials, animation improves patient recruitment by making study participation understandable and less intimidating. At launch, animation explains mechanisms of action to prescribers in minutes rather than hours. And post-launch, patient education content improves adherence and outcomes.
For hospitals and health systems, video reduces the burden on clinical staff by delivering consistent patient education at scale. Patients who understand their conditions and treatment options arrive better prepared, ask more informed questions, and are more likely to follow care plans. That translates to better outcomes, higher satisfaction scores, and fewer preventable complications — outcomes that affect reimbursement, reputation, and regulatory standing.
The regulatory landscape also favors visual communication. Regulatory agencies increasingly accept and even encourage the use of animation and video in submissions, advisory committee presentations, and risk communication materials. Organizations that invest in high-quality visual content gain an advantage in how effectively they communicate with regulators, payers, and formulary committees.
Pixeldust helps healthcare organizations build content libraries that serve multiple audiences from a single production investment. A mechanism-of-action animation created for a medical conference can be adapted for patient education, sales training, and regulatory submissions — maximizing the value of every project and every dollar spent.
Our Approach to Scientific Content
Accuracy is non-negotiable in science and medical content, and our production process is built to deliver it at every stage. We begin every project with a thorough content review — studying published research, clinical guidelines, and reference materials to build a foundation of understanding before we write a single word of script or sketch a single frame of storyboard.
Our creative team includes artists who specialize in molecular visualization, anatomical illustration, and data-driven design. They work alongside our writers and directors to develop visual narratives that are both scientifically precise and visually engaging. We do not choose between accuracy and aesthetics — we insist on both, because our clients and their audiences deserve both.
Our review process includes formal checkpoints with your medical, scientific, legal, and regulatory teams at script, storyboard, rough animation, and final delivery stages. We document all reviewer feedback, track revisions, and maintain version control throughout the project. This structured approach ensures that the final deliverable is not just beautiful — it is defensible.

Why Pixeldust
Pixeldust is one of the most experienced science and medical content studios in the country. Our team has produced hundreds of medical animations, patient education videos, and scientific visualizations for organizations including NIH, HHMI, Kaiser Permanente, WebMD, and the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. We bring a rare combination of artistic excellence, scientific literacy, and production discipline to every project we undertake.
Our artists do not just make things look beautiful — they make things look right. We work closely with your scientific and medical advisors through every phase of production, and our review process is designed to ensure that every visualization is accurate, every claim is supported, and every deliverable meets the standards of your organization and your audience.
We also understand the regulatory and compliance environment that medical content operates in. Our team is experienced in producing content that meets FDA, IRB, and institutional review standards, and we maintain the documentation and version control that regulated content demands. When accuracy matters as much as aesthetics — and it always does in science and medicine — Pixeldust is the studio you can trust.
