Two Infographic Types
1. Data-Driven Infographic
Best for:
- Statistics and numbers
- Key medical facts
- "Did you know?" content
- Guidelines/thresholds
Structure:
- Title at top
- Hero stat (large number) in center-top
- 3-4 supporting points below
- Footer with branding
2. Comparison Infographic
Best for:
- X vs Y comparisons
- Myths vs Facts
- Before vs After
- Option A vs Option B
Structure:
- Title at top
- Two-column layout
- 4-6 comparison points
- Footer with branding
Process
Step 1: Clarify Type & Topic
Ask user:
-
"What type of infographic?"
- Data-driven (single stat with supporting points)
- Comparison (two-column X vs Y)
-
"What's the topic and data?"
- Provide medical data/statistics
- Or should I research the data?
-
"Which account?"
- @heartdocshailesh
- @dr.shailesh.singh
Step 2: Research Data (If Needed)
If user doesn't provide data:
- Use PubMed MCP for statistics
- Use WebFetch for guidelines
- Save sources for attribution
Step 3: Design Content Structure
For Data-Driven Infographic
Propose structure:
Title: [Clear, attention-grabbing]
Hero Stat: [Large number]
Hero Label: [What the number means]
Point 1:
Title: [Supporting fact title]
Text: [Brief explanation]
Point 2:
Title: [Supporting fact title]
Text: [Brief explanation]
Point 3:
Title: [Supporting fact title]
Text: [Brief explanation]
[Optional Point 4]
Example:
Title: Heart Disease in India
Hero Stat: 28%
Hero Label: of all deaths in India are from heart disease
Point 1:
Title: Early Onset
Text: Indians get heart attacks 10 years earlier than Western populations
Point 2:
Title: Risk Factors
Text: 63% of urban Indians have multiple risk factors (diabetes, hypertension, smoking)
Point 3:
Title: Prevention
Text: 80% of heart attacks are preventable with lifestyle changes
For Comparison Infographic
Propose structure:
Title: [X vs Y]
Option A: [Left column header]
Option B: [Right column header]
Comparison 1:
Left: [Point about A]
Right: [Point about B]
Comparison 2:
Left: [Point about A]
Right: [Point about B]
[Continue for 4-6 items]
Example:
Title: Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest
Option A: Heart Attack
Option B: Cardiac Arrest
What happens:
Left: Blocked artery stops blood flow to heart
Right: Heart suddenly stops beating
Consciousness:
Left: Patient is awake and talking
Right: Patient collapses, unconscious
Treatment:
Left: Angioplasty to open artery
Right: CPR + defibrillator immediately
Survival:
Left: 90%+ with quick treatment
Right: <10% without immediate CPR
Present to user: "Here's the proposed layout. Approve or adjust?"
IMPORTANT: Instead of using the Python infographic generator (generate-infographic.py), you can now use the data visualization tool (generate-data-viz.py) for most infographics. This creates professional charts with brand styling.
- Bar charts: Comparing values (e.g., "Risk factors: Smoking 45%, Diabetes 32%, Hypertension 28%")
- Line charts: Trends over time (e.g., "Heart disease mortality 1990-2024")
- Pie charts: Percentage breakdowns (e.g., "Causes of heart attack")
- Grouped bars: Side-by-side comparisons (e.g., "Treatment A vs B outcomes")
Example 1: Bar chart infographic
# Create: heart-disease-risk-factors.json
{
"Smoking": 45,
"Diabetes": 32,
"Hypertension": 28,
"High Cholesterol": 25,
"Sedentary Lifestyle": 20
}
python tools/generate-data-viz.py \
--type bar \
--data heart-disease-risk-factors.json \
--title "Leading Heart Disease Risk Factors in India (%)" \
--ylabel "Percentage of Population (%)" \
--output "output/approved/infographics/heartdocshailesh/risk-factors.png" \
--size infographic \
--username "@heartdocshailesh"
Example 2: Grouped bar chart for comparisons
# Create: statin-vs-ezetimibe.json
{
"Atorvastatin": {
"LDL Reduction": 38,
"Cost": 15,
"Side Effects": 8
},
"Ezetimibe": {
"LDL Reduction": 22,
"Cost": 25,
"Side Effects": 4
}
}
python tools/generate-data-viz.py \
--type grouped-bar \
--data statin-vs-ezetimibe.json \
--title "Statin vs Ezetimibe: Efficacy & Safety" \
--ylabel "Score (%)" \
--output "output/approved/infographics/heartdocshailesh/drug-comparison.png" \
--size infographic \
--username "@heartdocshailesh"
Example 3: Pie chart for proportions
# Create: heart-attack-causes.json
{
"Atherosclerosis": 70,
"Coronary Spasm": 15,
"Blood Clot": 10,
"Other": 5
}
python tools/generate-data-viz.py \
--type pie \
--data heart-attack-causes.json \
--title "What Causes Heart Attacks?" \
--output "output/approved/infographics/heartdocshailesh/heart-attack-causes.png" \
--size infographic \
--username "@heartdocshailesh"
When to use traditional infographic generator:
- Text-heavy infographics (no data/charts needed)
- Complex layouts with multiple sections
- Comparison infographics with text (not just numbers)
- Hero stat + supporting points layout
Decision rule:
- If it's mainly numbers/data → Use
generate-data-viz.py ✅
- If it's mainly text/explanations → Use
generate-infographic.py
Step 4: Create Data File
Once structure approved, create JSON data file:
{
"title": "Heart Disease in India",
"hero_stat": "28%",
"hero_label": "of all deaths in India are from heart disease",
"points": [
{
"title": "Early Onset",
"text": "Indians get heart attacks 10 years earlier than Western populations"
},
{
"title": "Risk Factors",
"text": "63% of urban Indians have multiple risk factors"
},
{
"title": "Prevention",
"text": "80% of heart attacks are preventable with lifestyle changes"
}
]
}
Save to: output/drafts/infographics/[topic]-data.json
{
"title": "Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest",
"option_a": "Heart Attack",
"option_b": "Cardiac Arrest",
"items": [
{
"left": "Blocked artery stops blood flow",
"right": "Heart suddenly stops beating"
},
{
"left": "Patient is awake and talking",
"right": "Patient collapses, unconscious"
},
{
"left": "Angioplasty to open artery",
"right": "CPR + defibrillator immediately"
},
{
"left": "90%+ survival with quick treatment",
"right": "<10% survival without immediate CPR"
}
]
}
Save to: output/drafts/infographics/[topic]-comparison.json
Step 5: Generate Infographic
Run Python script:
For Data-Driven:
python tools/generate-infographic.py \
--data "output/drafts/infographics/[topic]-data.json" \
--output "output/approved/infographics/[account]/[topic].png" \
--photo "$HOME/Downloads/PHOTO shailesh.jpg" \
--username "[heartdocshailesh OR dr.shailesh.singh]" \
--type data
For Comparison:
python tools/generate-infographic.py \
--data "output/drafts/infographics/[topic]-comparison.json" \
--output "output/approved/infographics/[account]/[topic].png" \
--photo "$HOME/Downloads/PHOTO shailesh.jpg" \
--username "[heartdocshailesh OR dr.shailesh.singh]" \
--type comparison
Step 6: Verify Output
Check that:
- Infographic generated (PNG file)
- Size is 1080x1350px
- All text is readable
- Colors match brand
- Footer with photo + username correct
Step 7: Provide Summary
Tell user:

Content Guidelines
Titles That Work
✅ Clear and Direct:
- "Heart Disease in India: The Numbers"
- "Blood Pressure: What's Normal?"
- "Heart Attack vs Cardiac Arrest"
✅ Question-Based:
- "How Much Cholesterol Is Too Much?"
- "Should You Take Aspirin Daily?"
❌ Avoid:
- Generic: "Important Facts"
- Clever: "Matters of the Heart"
- Too long: "Understanding the Pathophysiology of Myocardial Infarction"
Hero Stats (Data-Driven)
What Makes a Good Hero Stat:
- Large, striking number
- Immediately understandable
- Emotionally impactful
- Cited from reliable source
Examples:
- "28%" (percentage of deaths)
- "1 in 4" (fraction for relatability)
- "10 years" (time difference)
- "80%" (prevention rate)
Not Good:
- Complex ratios: "1.73:1"
- Multiple numbers: "120/80 mmHg" (save for supporting points)
- Vague: "Many"
Supporting Points Rules
Each point should:
- Have a clear title (2-5 words)
- Have concise text (15-25 words)
- Deliver ONE insight
- Be actionable or surprising
Good Point:
Title: "Early Detection"
Text: "Monthly self-checks can catch 90% of issues before symptoms appear"
Bad Point:
Title: "Detection"
Text: "It's important to note that early detection through various screening methods including monthly self-examinations can potentially help identify a significant majority of health issues..."
Comparison Items Rules
Each comparison should:
- Be parallel in structure
- Use similar word counts (left vs right)
- Highlight key difference clearly
- Avoid medical jargon
Good:
Left: "Gradual blockage over time"
Right: "Sudden complete blockage"
Bad:
Left: "Atherosclerotic plaque buildup causing progressive luminal stenosis"
Right: "Acute thrombotic occlusion"

Edge Cases
If Data is Unavailable
- Ask user for specific sources
- Use WebFetch for public health data
- Note: "Data from [source]" in supporting text
If Text Doesn't Fit
- Shorten supporting points
- Remove least important point
- Split into 2 infographics (Part 1 & 2)
If User Wants Different Design
- Offer to use Figma MCP for custom design
- Or Canva MCP for template-based approach
- Note: "Python script works for standard layouts. For custom designs, I can use Figma/Canva MCP."
If Photo Missing
- Script will work without photo
- Alert user: "Photo not found at ~/Downloads/PHOTO shailesh.jpg"
Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Too Much Text:
- Supporting points >30 words each
- More than 4 points in data-driven
- More than 6 items in comparison
❌ Unclear Data:
- No source cited
- Vague numbers ("many", "most")
- Conflicting statistics
❌ Poor Hierarchy:
- All text same size
- No clear hero stat
- Title too small
❌ Breaking Brand:
- Wrong colors
- Different fonts
- No footer branding
Example Session Flow
User: "Create an infographic comparing aspirin and clopidogrel"
You:
- "I'll create a comparison infographic. Let me propose the structure:"
- Title: Aspirin vs Clopidogrel
- Comparison points: What they do, When to use, Side effects, Cost, Duration
- [User approves]
- [Create JSON data file with comparison structure]
