HEALTH COLUMN

Research, Concept, Prototyping


PROJECT: Explore and research the ways that the data gathered from the body can generate new interfaces.

BACKGROUND: The Health Column is a tangible interface used as a comprehensive representation of bodily health. The Health Column is produced from sensor data gathered from various systems of the human body. Our system for gathering data was simple, but served well as simulation for more complex data gathering equipment currently used in medical practice. We aimed at gathering data from multiple systems of the body, specifically the musculoskeletal, pulmonary, endocrine, and visual systems. We then used the data to produce these circular shapes, which were later used in building our tangible prototype.

RESULTS:  We created a form that can be held and explored as tangible representation of the systems of the body.
