Problem Statement
In the research phase at the beginning of the semester, we did a lot of case studies of medication products. We found that the future trend of the whole medical system is getting intelligent.
Under this kind of future scenario we boldly made an assumption:
What will happen if all the product are sharing data in the system?
Products detects and analyze users’ mental and physical status and only describe the problem they have straightly and offer the treatment plan.
Experience:
The user only knows the result of the analysis, but not really get involved in the whole process, patients might need to know where the problems are and where those problems from so they can prevent and prepare.
Communicate:
Sometimes to describe the problem and offer suggestions in medical language is hard to understand and accept.
Participate:
The instructions or suggestions create a distance and hard to persuade people to follow those words.
Concept
Change the way of interaction, decrease the friction and the gap between the user and the system.
Effective prevention and treatment mostly occur when users want to know the whole picture of their life subjectively. And the positive living style can be stimulated by funny / interactive reaction between the product and user. In this project, AI plays the role of co-creative the visualize final output(a pattern) and generate health-care information.
We want this system to convey the idea that the products are more human-centered, and this system can stimulate the user to make changes subjectively.
NO judgement!
Translate the result to a user designed track map, in this part we only want our users to know what’s the meaning of “pattern” of his/her sitting habit instead of judgement and suggestions.
User Designed track map is a kind of report and has two different purposes:
The consistency readable/ understandable graphic (for recording, bringing to the doctor, organizing behaviors...etc) V.S the designed AI generated 3D patterns that show the analysis results in a more interacted, comforting and interesting way.
