Clinical Picture Maker: Disseminating Video

The ultimate goal of the Clinical Picture Maker is to create an ever-growing library - The See System Rare Disease Video Database - of videos documenting the 10,000+ identified rare disorders. This database could become a valuable resource for both education and research for clinicians, medical students, families, caregivers, therapists, pharmaceutical developers and other stakeholders. The See System Rare Disease Video Database  provides a number of different ways to explore and investigate the videos. 

Search

The Search tool allows users to conduct targeted searches of the See System Rare Disease Video Database. Users can search and filter results based on:

  • Diagnosis - Search only videos showing participants with a given diagnosis or set of diagnoses
  • Symptoms - Search only videos containing examples of a specific symptom or set of symptoms
  • Topics - Search only videos related to certain topics 
  • Participant Age - Search only videos showing participants within a certain age range

Case Histories

In addition to searches, users can also view Case Histories of participants in the See System Rare Disease Video Database. Each participant with at least one video in the database has a Case History page, which can be accessed by clicking on the participant’s icon on a video page, or by looking at the list of Case Histories for each disorder. Each Case History page presents the participant’s videos as a timeline, making it a powerful way to see changes over time.

In this way, the See System Rare Disease Video Database is also a repository of “video natural histories” - collections of videos which show how a disorder changes over time, whether due to the natural course of a disease, or caused by an intervention.

Collections

Users can also create their own “Collections” of videos as they search and explore the database. Users can add videos to their collections so they can come back and view them later without having to search for it. Users will also be able to share their collections with other database users. 

Educational Documentaries

In addition to the variety of ways that the raw clips can be searched and explored in the See System Rare Disease Database, the videos can also be utilized to create educational documentaries, courses, and other tools to promote learning. 

Here are several example clips from a course on SCN2A-related disorders created using videos uploaded by parents via the DAYTool, and interviews with the experts who reviewed the videos:
