Penn State Hershey Medical Center Surgical Weight Loss Program

Gastric Bypass patient education program

View the Flash demo of this project

Create a program that educates potential Gastric Bypass patients about the procedure and its risks and benefits.

JPL produced an e-Learning program that uses still images, graphics, simple animations and text to explain the reasons a patient would elect to have Gastric Bypass surgery over other weight-loss methods, risks during and after the surgery and benefits of the procedure. Patients are quizzed at the end of the program and redirected to the sections they did not understand for further review.  The responses to the quiz and the overall score are emailed immediately to the medical team.
