FEATURED STUDENT WORK

Frankly | Health Communication Design

Frankly—a system for proactive diagnosis, patient advocacy and the prevention of Lyme disease.

Jefferson HCMD students participated in Coforma’s Health + Lyme Disease program, supporting the Lymex Innovation Accelerator—a partnership with the US Department of Health and Human Services and the Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation. They developed Frankie (spokesfrog) and the Frankly system including an extensive web platform with a symptom tracker, an awareness campaign and a product line. Fun fact: frogs are natural predators of ticks.
