CASTING IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA FOR A MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIAL

Tiffany Company Casting is looking for; ACTUAL STORIES FROM PATIENTS IN THE SAN DIEGO AREA

Have you ever left a Doctors Appointment and asked yourself, “What Just Happened?” or “Did the Doctor even listen to me?”

In the SAN DIEGO area, we are seeking ACTUAL stories from people who have dealt with or are currently facing challenges in the medical system, including, but not limited to, inequality, empty communication, interruptions when explaining symptoms, clinical jargon, lack of bedside manner, trouble comprehending a diagnosis, etc. Whatever the story may be, we are looking for those REAL and EMOTIONAL experiences.

SYNOPSIS OF CAMPAIGN

Studies show good connections between doctors and patients result in better patient outcomes. That’s why this is a topic that is seriously and rigorously tackled in the best medical schools in the world. But once they are working in the real world, the time constraints make it hard for doctors to continue those best practices. forced to work in a rush, they are at risk to interrupt their patients, inadvertently speak more than they listen, and unknowingly use medical jargon that leaves patients feeling isolated and confused.

We’re working together with the The University of California San Diego in the creation and testing of a beta version of a medical technology. After a successful trial, our hope is that this technology can be implemented long term for use at UCSD, and eventually become a tool used by doctors everywhere.

This commercial is for a technology that helps doctors remember to connect with their patients. We’re going to help doctors notice the quality of their interactions so they can connect better with their patients. When turned on during medical exams, the device will give feedback to the doctors based on the three critical metrics that research shows are the most important: proportion of conversation spent speaking, time until and frequency of interruptions, and the amount of technical language used.

PROJECT DETAILS

This is for a Non-Union project featuring a new Medical Technology sponsored by Cox Communications. It will be used to bring awareness to doctors so they can improve how they communicate with their patients. This technology is to be used at UCSD

All persons must be at least 18 years old and comfortable speaking on camera about your own personal medical conditions & experiences
