Book ConsultationInterviews
Grand Interview
Your innovative approach to making scientific information accessible through Pandaid Website For Infectious Diseases has earned significant recognition, including the Silver A' Design Award - could you share the initial vision that sparked this vital digital resource?
As the coronavirus pandemic spread, Yokohama's Chinatown, where my office is located, was deserted due to the nearby docking of the Diamond Princess cruise ship. Seeing the dire situation of local people and my favorite restaurants being driven out of business, I was inspired by my previous experience with the OLIVE project to start Pandaid.
The collaborative nature of Pandaid Website For Infectious Diseases, involving doctors, editors, and numerous volunteers, is remarkable - how did you orchestrate this diverse team of experts to create cohesive, scientifically accurate, yet easily digestible content?
We focused on designing compelling content by referencing existing information sources instead of conducting individual research. We also established a fact-checking team of doctors and researchers to ensure the accuracy of articles, as misinformation can spread during chaotic times.
In developing Pandaid Website For Infectious Diseases, what specific design strategies did you employ to transform complex medical information into intuitive, actionable guidance for the general public?
During the lockdown, when people were inundated with grim and often overwhelming information, we prioritized making the content not only reliable but also accessible, engaging, and even enjoyable. By incorporating visually intuitive layouts, interactive elements, and clear, concise language, we sought to transform complex medical data into actionable guidance. The goal was to create a user-friendly platform that not only informed but also uplifted, providing a sense of ease and clarity in a challenging time.

- Unique Properties
- PANDAID is a website dedicated to protecting lives from pandemics. It is co-edited by volunteers, including doctors, editors, and more. The editorial emphasis goes towards providing scientific facts in ways that are easy to understand and to implement. As part of the project, there're other developments, a face shield to prevent splashes, signage to protect social distance humorously, and posters to communicate its importance.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- As part of this project, a face shield that can be easily made from an A4-size clear file that takes no more than 30 seconds to complete is developed. The template, which requires no particular equipment, is available for free online alongside a tutorial video and has been viewed by more than one million on social media. Everyone can make one easily, and hopefully individually contribute to making the shortage of medical protective equipment easier to address. This movement is not limited to Japan, and many medical institutions all over the world have been sending their appreciation of face shield donations.
- Inspiration
- Tachikawa developed PANDAID website to make the most of our creativity and design wisdom to heal the pain in our world and to overcome the difficulties. It is co-edited by volunteers, including doctors, editors, etc. Over 100 volunteers are invested in this project, each with their own expertise. PANDAID is currently available in six languages, and more to come. In addition, PANDAID members keep making our own infographics and posters as needed to deliver intuitive content that the public can easily understand.
