SocialTheory is a decision-readiness studio for complex treatment paths. We combine graphic medicine, adaptive technology, and structured clinical frameworks so patients, caregivers, and clinicians can meet the same conversation from the same page.

Graphic medicine

Pictures that hold space.

We use hand-drawn narrative art to translate clinical realities into images families and clinicians can point at together — no jargon required.

Adaptive technology

Interfaces that listen.

Tools that shape themselves to a patient's pace and reading level, honoring the moments when a conversation needs to slow down.

Clinical frameworks

Structure that earns trust.

CBT-informed scaffolds and decision-aid patterns grounded in the literature, co-designed with practicing clinicians.

— Our origin

WebeganwithSurvivalStory.

Before SocialTheory was a studio, it was a community exhibit series on opioid use disorder. Across four installations, Survival Story trained 110 participants in overdose response and distributed 177 Narcan kits — but its deeper work was quieter: giving people a language for the moments before a crisis.

That practice — using visual narrative to make room for hard conversations — is the through-line to everything we build today.

"A woman in recovery left one installation determined to become a treatment counselor."
