From Bathroom to Healthroom

GoInvo2015Designer4 weeks
Interactive long-form website exploring the future of personal health

Overview

An interactive website and ebook design for the article "From Bathroom to Healthroom," creating a new experience of storytelling and improving user engagement. Integrates UX design, infographics design, motion design, videography, and digital book design. Collaborated with author Juhan Sonin and editor Emily Twaddell at GoInvo (Involution Studios).

Visual timeline tracing health's evolution from 10,000 BC to the projected Healthroom future

Problem

Health, as an experience and idea, is undergoing an epic shift. For millennia, humans have treated health as the rare spike that requires intervention. For the average person without chronic illness, health is conceived of and managed as an exception.

Yet health is the single most important factor for any human. The potential impact of a health setback reaches into all areas of life — work, finances, love, hobbies — and affects the community.

The article explores the transition from episodic medical care to continuous health monitoring, but needed a compelling, immersive digital format to engage readers beyond traditional text.

Mapping the sensor revolution — from wearable devices to invisible ambient monitoring

Process

Integrated UX design, infographics design, motion design, videography, and digital book design into one cohesive interactive experience.

Worked with engineers to manage prototypes and improve how the interactive website functions across devices.

Designed a visual timeline spanning from 10,000 BC to a projected 2019 "Healthroom" future, telling the story of health's evolution through interactive data visualizations.

The Healthroom vision — where machine learning and design make health monitoring continuous

Solution

Interactive website with rich visual storytelling — a health history timeline from 10,000 BC to the future "healthroom," incorporating data visualizations like hGraph (an open-source visual representation of patient health status).

Explored the sensor technology revolution — from wearable devices to invisible ambient health monitoring — and visualized the path from today's "non-forgettable" devices to seamless, background health data capture.

Presented the vision of the bathroom transforming into a "healthroom" — where machine learning, big data, and design converge to make health monitoring continuous and invisible.

Impact

Published and live at GoInvo's features showcase.

Demonstrated a new model for long-form health storytelling that integrates multiple design disciplines into one immersive experience.
