Top 19 Animated Medical Videos on the Internet that YOU WILL LOVE!

Video usage in the healthcare industry across the globe is rapidly increasing. 

Whether you’re a marketer or a healthcare professional, people will like to visit your hospital or seek your advice again only if they feel confident in your explanatory method. 

And that’s where Animated medical videos are a boon to the healthcare industry. Even the most complex of videos can be made interesting and exciting with the help of animation.

On the one hand, the audience gets to understand the intricate details. And on the other hand, the video creator gains more engagement and, eventually, more conversions.

So if you are a medical professional looking forward to creating attractive medical videos for your brand, you have landed at the right place.

This article will cover everything you want to know about animated medical videos.

But before jumping into creating your own medical-related video using Animaker, let’s cover some of the amazing animated medical videos already loved by netizens. 

Top 19 Amazing Animated Medical Videos 

The animated medical videos below are chosen based on their creativity, aesthetics, content, and concept representation. 

You can have a glimpse at these videos and stretch your imagination to create your own videos for your brand. I’m sure you’ll be enlightened with creativity by the end of this blog.

1. Effects of smoking – Character Animation Video

16M views!

Doesn’t this prove how awesome the video is?

Healthcare is serious – tapping into that emotion is essential. It’s about bringing the stories and people to life. This is what corporate leaders and big brands do. 

When you combine animation with a story that holds a problem to be addressed along with some mild emotions, there comes an effective outcome, resulting in the success of the effort taken. 

This video does exactly that! With an emphasis on animation effects, the video conveys how smoking affects the body, its harmful effects on different body parts, and how one can recover when one quits the habit.

2. WHO on preventing Hepatitis

This Animated awareness video explains everything about Hepatitis and its prevention.

Even though the video is to create awareness by spreading an important message, the cute animations convey the message in a simple yet engaging way. 

There’s no serious voice-over explaining the prevention measures. Instead, the animated assets do the job and help etch the message deep in our minds without much effort!

The choice of music makes the video even more interesting. It is very comical and has tones that depict danger here and there, giving us a sense of awareness beforehand. 

Since WHO has blue as its brand color, you can see the dominance of blue and white all over the video.

3. Healthcare homes animation

Do you want to promote healthcare home services?

This video is produced by the Government of Australia and focuses on promoting healthcare homes and why it is required. 

The animated video has a storyboard and a well-planned script ready. The characters and animations give this video a lively look, providing the correct information and knowledge. 

4. Explanatory Animated Video on Dialysis

Let’s look at one of the exciting explanatory videos in an animated format. Both the message and animations are quick, dynamic, and to the point. 

This video captures a hitting-the-ground running feeling—lots of drive in it. 

I would suggest this video for those who want to know how dialysis works – a video that can be understandable and entertaining for kids and adults. 

5. 2D Animation video on Oxygen Healthcare

Ahh! Are you looking for an animated video that is less than a minute? 

Here’s one for you…

A very quick, engaging 2D animated video advertisement that explains the significance of health care for elders in the home. 

The video is conceptualized to suit the brand’s region and the cultural beliefs of its population. The characters’ attire, background music, font style, and text language are all designed to address the lifestyle of the people in that region. Such practices help the brand to have a good connection with the audience.

6. How sleep affects your brain

Do you prefer videos to get straight to the point? Check out the one below!

This video explains the benefits of sleeping. Hence, the movement of the characters is found to be less. 

Not many brands can pull it off exceptionally well. Since there isn’t much movement for the characters or the animations, the script must be well constructed, and the story must pan out well. And that’s where the below video scores!

7. Shigella in Animations

This video shows how Shigella bacteria are spread from one person to another with nice colors and animations all around. 

How delightful are the transitions between each of the scenes in this video!

The transitions are so smooth, so much so that it makes us aware of the liveliness of the virus and makes us cautious of how much we must be careful while being outdoors! This shows that the script is neatly crafted.

Also, it is to be noted that they maintain a theme throughout the video.

8. Public Health explained via handwriting effect

Do you like to watch whiteboard videos where a hand writes the significant points? 

Sounds special, right?

Here’s one such video!

The video below talks about public health and its significance. With the whiteboard style of animation, this video clearly explains how the discipline, hygienic practices, and organized efforts of individuals can eventually lead to the betterment of society and control the spread of deadly diseases.

9. Explanatory Animation Video about cancer

On a budget? Animated videos are great for learning and easy content consumption. This video delivers great content that explains cancer, its formation, effects, diagnosis, and treatment. 

With good animation software, anybody can create an engaging video with all the information they would like to project to their audience. Being clear and engaging – that’s what is expected by your audiences too!

In particular, animation can help you simplify complex terms and present information in the right tone for your audience. In addition, it can inspire, motivate, and incite action, just like in the video below.

10. Do not go to medical school (if this is you) 

This is an excellent example of storytelling. 

Everybody likes stories. And stories with information earn the right impact.

This video is different from the others on the list. It addresses people who are interested in medicine and would like to pursue it as their career.

There is always a liking for 2D animation or cartoon videos – from kids to adults. Concepts which are explained through these mediums are more reachable.

The video below explains why some individuals may not be a suitable fit in the medical field. Doctors are highly respected in society. Since they are expected to be dedicated and focused all the time, this video explains how someone must pursue medicine only if they are passionate about it.

As the video rightly says, MedSchool Insider is more than just a YouTube channel. All their animation videos are the best-viewed ones. This channel rightly understands the trick of attracting more viewers via its animation videos and their engrossing concept.

11. The Russian sleep experiment

This animation video shows their sleep experiment through the 2D characters. 

The ultimate motto behind this video is to project a real case experiment in the animation format. The case explains a sleep experiment, one of the most famous and horrific experiments gone wrong, but some claim the experiment never happened! 

The video is made of cartoons, and it adds clear content and impression to the video. 

This shows what is possible with an explainer video that looks great with character animation, voice-over, texts, transitions, warm colors, and effects. So you can get your point across in a visually engaging way.

12. Pharmacy of the future

The digital revolution in healthcare is helping to improve a broad range of outcomes, from the prevention and treatment of disease to patient care. It highlights the importance of pharmacies and how they would have evolved in the future.

The narrator’s voice is used perfectly in this video. In addition, many ideas from the video help you sort out how to position your video-making development. 

Short and crisp, isn’t it?

13. Sleep is more important 

How amazing is it when an explanatory video starts with an engaging story filled with animations and effects?

One such incredible video explains what happens when there is a lack of sleep. Moreover, it clearly explains what causes sleep, the short and long-run adversities of lack of sleep, etc. 

Though this video is longer, it is not at all overwhelming. The engaging animations and colors make it easy to grasp and understand.

14. 3D Medical Animation

3D medical animations are everyone’s favorite. And this video is true science fiction! 

The functioning of organs and all the other intricate stuff we don’t usually see is beautifully showcased in this video through 3D animation. You can see the quality and attention to detail for yourself.

The idea is superb – both in design and function—beautiful 3D work in concept and execution.

15. How to treat Heart Attack – 3D Medical Video

From starting with how your heart functions to explain the treatment for the attack, this video covers everything you need to know about a heart attack.

These medical visualizations typically represent how a heart attack happens, the medication consequences, and what is ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) & MI (Myocardial Infarction).

You don’t need high-end animation techniques. You can easily explain your concept even with a mediocre 3D render and simple animation. 

The voice-over helps you understand the video, which correlates with the 3D-animated medical video. Easy to understand, right?

16. Angina Pectoris – Patient Education Video

Remember that having something meaningful to say understandably is 90% of making amazing content.

This video educates about Angina Pectoris, a type of chest pain, and its effects. The animation characters reveal that Angina causes chest discomfort and creates a sensation of tightness or pressure triggered by exertion, cold, or emotional stress. 

Let the animation play the role, and your video will be a hit. Look at the professional voice-over and the smooth character transitions used in the video. 

Doesn’t this give a pleasant feeling about knowing the context?

17. A 2D Animation video explains to stop smoking

Phew! This video makes us realize the effects of smoking and intensifies the fear of smoking. 

As the title rightly says, “Stop smoking today!” the video is picturized in a way that would make us think twice before even going near a cigarette. This proves the strength of video-making through animations!

18. Oral Health Awareness by NHS

National Health Service (NHS) England has authentically created an animated video to showcase the significance of good Oral Health and the benefits of dental care from birth.

The video’s motive is to spread awareness and increase the visibility of the problem. This video can be shown even to a small kid as the concept is explained very simply.

19. Global COVID-19 Prevention Measures

This video talks about a virus that shook the world for a longgg time!

Would you expect a video with no music or voice to be engaging and deliver the information precisely?

Well, this animated video makes it so possible! 

The video takes us through the dimensions of how the virus would spread from one person to another. 

  

Wasn’t that an interesting and quick scroll?

Let’s check out how you can create your Animated medical video using Animaker.

15 Compelling Presentation Ideas To Entice Your Audience [in 2023]

Coming up with Presentation Ideas that capture and hold your audience’s attention might be pretty challenging.

You’d want your audience to be hyped up for what you have in store and have them glued to the screen until the end of the presentation. 

This is the goal of every presenter, whatever their presentation topic is. If you are pondering how to develop an excellent presentation idea well, you have come to the right place.

This article covers the A to Z of presentations, and we have compiled the top 15 presentation ideas to awestruck your audience by all means!

What is a Presentation?

Presentations are means to communicate ideas, explain concepts, and pass on knowledge in the form of slides. They are used in meetings and classrooms, and information is typically passed via text, graphics, and audio delivery.

Presentations can be long or short, depending on their purpose and the intended audience.

In general terms, an effective presentation should have several points:

  1. A strong opening statement that draws the audience’s attention
  2. An informative introduction that provides context for the rest of the presentation
  3. A clear focus on presenting information attractively
  4. A summary that collates all the points discussed 

Types of Presentations

Presentations should be as distinctive as your brand and the information you’re attempting to convey. However, several presentation formats are utilized by teams and sectors alike.

Therefore, you must choose the presentation style that will work best for your audience before considering which slides to use or how to arrange your content.

The most common types of presentations are

  • Informative presentations
  • Instructive presentations
  • Persuasive presentations
  • Decision-making presentations
  • Inspirational presentations

What makes a Presentation interesting?

In this era of fast-paced life, people’s attention stays on a topic only for a few seconds. Since presentations usually deliver huge pieces of information, they tend to become boring or overwhelming for the user.

The purpose of the presentation is to deliver important information in the most effective, concise, and precise way possible.

To hold the audience’s attention for a long time, a unique method of delivery is required. Additionally, a presentation must be two-way and interactive to make a stand and hook the audience to all slide decks. 

This is where Animaker Deck comes in. You can create super easy animated presentations and break all the stereotypes with Animaker Deck – World’s 1st Avatar Powered Presentation Software.

The advantage of using Animation Deck is that you don’t need to have advanced technical knowledge.

Searching for stock images is one of the most time-consuming tasks in any design project. In general, many designers and agencies rely on stock photography to help them complete projects.

Alternatively, you can follow this step-by-step textual guide to create an uber-cool animated BG. So, let’s not wait further and jump straight into the article. 

How to make animated backgrounds?

In this article, we will focus only on the easiest ways to create moving animated backgrounds, most straightforwardly [Without downloading any software] and pretty much with zero experience.

So, for this tutorial, we will use a tool called Animaker. It’s a browser-based video creator app with a very straightforward UI, allowing newbies without prior experience to create and edit free-moving background animations quickly and effortlessly. 

With Animaker, there are different ways we can create animated backgrounds  –

  1. Properties
  2. Sticker GIFs
  3. Video Backgrounds
  4. Bonus Tip – Mix & Match

Now, let’s learn how to create animated backgrounds using these different methods. To create your own animated background, you must create a project first. Here are the steps to create a project:

Step 1: Signup and Login

Getting started, signup or login with Animaker. Head over to Animaker.com and click on Signup. If you already have an account, log in using your credentials.

Step 2: Create a Project

Once you sign up or log in, you will be redirected to the dashboard. Click on Create > Create a Video > Blank page on this screen.


Once you click on the blank page option, you will be welcomed by the project dashboard – On the left is the library, on the right is the scenes section, the white center space is the workspace, and finally, at the bottom is the timeline.

Step 3:  Create an animated background 

The next step is to start creating our animated backgrounds. There are three different ways to create an animated background, but the first two steps to signup/login and create a project remain the same. 

3.1 How to create animated backgrounds using properties

First, let’s see how to create an animated background using properties. 

Animaker’s Property library has over 70000 assets. Experts have designed these properties using the app’s animation features. Using these properties, you can create highly customized animated backgrounds. 

For this tutorial, we will be creating something like this –

  1. Applying the BG Color – By default, the background color will be white. Let’s change the boring white background to something classy. To customize the background color, simply click on the background. This opens the “Background Color” window. Click on any color from the palette to apply it to the background like this…
    The last color I applied was red. For this example, we will change the background to a shade of blue, #201F58, to be precise. You can click on the background and select a color from the “Background Color” tab. Or, you can select the “Change Color” option on top. This again opens the “Background Color” tab, where you can change the color.Next, let’s create a gradient background. For this, we need to add one more color.For this, click on the Change color option on top. Then, click on the Plus icon under the Background Color tab to add one more color to create a gradient. For this example, we will use a darker shade of blue here –  #003EF9.Additionally, you can also change the direction of the gradient if needed. To do this, click on the ‘Direction’ option on top and select a direction from the options listed.
  2. Adding properties – Now that we have the background color set, let’s add a property and animate it. To add a property to your workspace, head to the properties menu on the library (left side) and choose the desired property you want to add. For this tutorial, we will use a gradient shape. Similar to changing the background color, you can change the property’s color by simply clicking on it.After changing the color, you can position it wherever you want.
    Now, it’s time to animate the prop! We will use the smart move function to animate our property. To add a smart move function, click on the property and click on smart move. Then, under the animation menu, select the rotate animation. Once you set the desired animation, click on apply. To customize the duration of the animation, you can move the thumb of the property to the end of the timeline. Additionally, you can preview the smartmove by using the preview button right above the timeline.Now that we have one property animated, we can simply copy-paste and duplicate it to make the animated background loop video.

That’s it! Wasn’t it simple to create your own animated background with properties? Now let’s jump into the next way – how to make an animated BG using GIF stickers.

3.2 How to create animated backgrounds using GIF stickers

Within the Animaker app, you can easily add any GIFs to your scene. The best part of GIFs in Animaker is that it’s directly integrated with GIPHY. Thereby, there are millions & millions of GIFs, Animated stickers, etc., to make your perfect moving animated backgrounds.

Now, let’s create a BG with GIF stickers like this…

  1. Adding BG Color – Once you create a new project on Animaker, let’s start by changing the background color. To change the background color, click on the background. This opens the “Background Color” window. Next, click on any color from the palette to apply it to the background. Here, we will add the color #ED6D9C to the BG.
  2. Adding GIF Stickers – Click on More [on the bottom left of your screen] from the library. Here, you’ll be able to see Giphy stickers. Click on it to add the elements you see in this loop animated background. 
    We will be adding flowers, birds, and butterflies to our scene. So simply search for it, add it to the scene, and just let the GIF do its magic. You can simply rearrange and customize however you want.

    To begin, let’s add some flowers first.We can add different flowers and duplicate them to make our background look attractive. You can use the Ctrl + C or CMD + C to copy and Ctrl + V or CMD + V to paste the properties.
    To make the scene more natural, let’s add some birds. We can duplicate this and add one more bird on the other side –
    And to finish it off, let’s add a bird flying across the scene –

    Once added, you can resize it. But this bird is static! So, let’s make it enter from the left and exit through the right side.    To do so, click on the bird and select the “Smart Move” option on top. Then, select the “left to right” motion from the options listed on the left. This creates two thumbs for the bird. Next, place the left thumb outside the left border and the right thumb outside the right border like this…
    Once the smart move animation is added, it will look something like this –

As simple as that, we have our animated background ready.

Let’s check out the third method of creating animated BGs.

3.3 How to create animated backgrounds using Stock Videos

Now, let’s see how we can create animated backgrounds using stock videos. Just follow the steps down below, and you will be able to create something like this –

Searching and applying stock footage as BG – Once you create a new project, head over to the video section in the library and choose the desired stock footage you want to use. In our example, we used a pattern loop video as the background. So, you can simply search for the word ‘pattern’ in the search bar and add it to your video. 

You can preview any stock footage video from the library by simply hovering over them. Once you click on the video, it will get applied as the background to your scene.

That’s it! That’s how you add animated stock footage as your background! 

3.4 How to create animated backgrounds – Bonus tip

WooHoo! Now you know all the different ways you can make your very own customized animated background. Now, we are going to use all these ways effectively, combine what we learned, and create a stunning animated background just like this –

  1. Applying BG color – After creating a new project, let’s start by customizing our background to make it look like a sky. Then, to apply a gradient background color, click on the background and choose a color. Next, click on the Plus option to add more colors to the gradient, as in step 3.1.
  2. Adding properties – Let’s add some clouds. Head to the properties section and search for clouds. We will use four different clouds to make the animated background visually attractive and show some variety. Similar to the background, you can click on the property and change its color if needed.Let’s give a falling animation to the scene. To do that, we can animate the clouds. We will make these clouds enter from the bottom and exit at the top. To animate the clouds, simply click on the cloud property and click on Smart Move.
    In this example, we have used the Left to Right preset animation. In the Left to Right animation, you’ll see two points – Point 1 (Left) and Point 2 (Right).

    To move the cloud from bottom to top, move Point 2 (Right) to the top, outside the workspace. Similarly, move Point 1 (Left) to the bottom, and you’ll have the same effect you saw in the BG sample above. You can use the thumbs on the timeline, as seen in the below GIF, to control how quickly the cloud should pass. Click on the play button to preview the smart move.
    Similarly, let’s add more clouds from the properties section and add Smart move animation. 
  3. Adding GIF stickers – As soon as the background has been set and the animated clouds are added, you can add the GIF sticker. Click on the three dots in the bottom left corner and select Giphy Stickers. Next, type Falling in the search bar to find the same GIF sticker from the BG sample. Click on it. Then, resize/reposition it.As simple as that, you now have a cool-looking animated background with a combination of properties and GIF stickers!

Step 4 – Download the BG as GIF or Video

To download your super cool animated background, simply click on Publish and download it as a GIF or video format.

That’s how you download your animated BG as a GIF or a video!

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and the sky is the limit for your creativity; you can explore and get creative while designing your animated background.
