Adding images and video content to Templates (Info Packs)
Adding photos, images, video and audio content makes it easier for patients to understand their treatment options. Multimedia supports different communication styles and learning preferences, while also helping patients process information despite time pressures, stress, or competing priorities.
CoTreat allows you to add:
- image files (JPEG, PNG)
- video files (video uploads, url, embed code)
- audio files (wma, wav, other)

Tips: Using responsive embed code ensure that video content fits to the screen that your patient is watching. If you get an embed code you can ask any of the available AI Large Language Models (LLM) to ensure that it is a responsive embed code and if not ask it to modify it to be responsive.
