note = "The challenge facing the NHS in Britain is how to incorporate efficient systems of patient centered health care strategies and support to enhance motivation and that will increase adherence to specific therapies and lifestyle approaches, in line with the new understanding of the diversity of human society. Patient centered health care strategies must be delivered by personalised motivation plans. While conventional health care (outpatient clinics, multidisciplinary teams, paper delivered information) aims to deliver this approach, for many people this has limited effect. The 3D Visualisation Group - Health Disease, (HD3D) led by Steve Flack was formed in 2005, a collaboration between the School of Media Arts \& Imaging and the School of Medicine at Dundee University. The vision of the HD3D Group is to support long-term patient care and promote positive and sustained change in patients{\textquoteright} behaviour through the use of engaging and accessible 3D imaging technologies. The research aims to develop the required {\textquoteleft}Tools{\textquoteright} that will focus the technologies of communication, promote person-to-person interaction and greater opportunity for personal autonomy and initiative. The paper (Flack and McGhee) describes how 3D technologies are transforming the way in which diagnostic medical imaging is created and questions what can be achieved when animation artists, medics and patients work together. What effect will this have on the education of animators for the future? This paper explores how postgraduate students, researchers, educators and clinicians are collaborating to improve interaction and communication in health care and generated a main feature on the BBC online News 24 Technology section http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6934511.stm The group explores how newly created medical 3D visualisations, can facilitate mediation and interaction between the disciplines of computer animation and clinical research.
