Abstract

Mime is a tablet-based augmented reality system which guides new chemotherapy patients through testing their blood at home. Starting from the socio-economic push towards home healthcare, we use blood analysis as a case study to illustrate the user experience challenges of unassisted care at home and how AR may support the user. We then show our explorations during an early ideation workshop, using low-fi prototyping and acting out. We also show steps from our making process in which we combine various tools, both physical and virtual, to further our understanding. We conclude with our final demonstrator and the discussions it triggered.

Virtual Trainer: A Low Cost AR Simulation of a Sudden Cardiac Arrest Emergency
DIS '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems

Sudden cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death. Because treatment must be delivered within minutes and emergency services take time to arrive, survival is strongly influenced by bystander intervention. However, bystanders are often hesitant to help. ...
