EMBR Virtual Records
August 2016 - May 2018
Designed to investigate the effect of visceral experiences on diabetic patient's behavior, EMBR Virtual Records is a Virtual Reality experience for the Oculus Rift. By taking patient data and presenting to them in novel and engaging ways. Virtual Records has become the basis for experimentation in hospitals and medical centers in the Salt Lake basin to uncover if exposing patients to this type of experience can effect understanding and behavior in positive ways.
EMBR Virtual Records currently helps patients to understand their blood sugar throughout the day, their A1C value over three months and the severity of diabetic side effects such as retinopathy, neuropathy, nephropathy. Virtual Records creates powerful moments of clarity when this data is presented as visual metaphors such as the dangers of diabetes being related to the dangers of standing on the edge of a tall building.
