Communication and knowledge can make or break the efficiency of any recovery process. Many hospitals today struggle to maintain proper communication with their patients, leaving several people in the dark about what exactly is going on during treatment. Whether it is recovery progress, medication information, or general plan of action, patients need to know where they stand medically. One of the main issues stems from hospitals’ tendency to keep information for their own records. Certain data such as graphs and notes on a patient’s progress or prescribed medication are kept at hospitals out of convenient access. The solution to this problem would be to launch an application to help track a person’s current medical status. The application should be highly interactive. Any patient can look up a chart or statistics, but not really relate to the data. One creative way to get patients involved is to create a medical tracking application that involves the patients “virtual character.” After creating their own virtual image (or virtual character) the patient can see different indicators and examples that explain what exactly is happening to their body. The virtual character can show how to perform certain therapeutic activities and techniques, and also give a visual on the scope of their recovery by illustrating with the virtual character how they are doing in real life.
