Welcome to

RealTime Health

If you have been diagnosed with an illness, or if you are a carer or friend of someone recently diagnosed, personal stories can inform and reassure. They can help you understand what to expect and how others have coped.

The RealTime Health 'Speaking From Experience' video resource offers hundreds of patient and carer stories on a range of conditions. These first-hand accounts cover the day to day challenges others have faced, and give insights into the coping strategies they have used.


These personal experiences are complemented by The Human Atlas, a library of 3D medical animations.
