Assignment:
We got this assignment from Amphia hospital. We had to work in duos to create a speculative design about healthcare in 4 weeks. The speculative design needed to make the public think and discuss about the future scenario presented, so the challenge in our design was to create a world with lots of advantages and disadvantages. My partner and I decided to challenge ourselves with virtual reality in the unity game engine.
Process:
Our first idea was to create a game where the main statement is "what is our general practitioners get replaced by AI". My partner and I did not find this statement compelling enough and changed it to "What if our general practitioners copied the buisniss model "
Results:
The end result is a virtual reality experience where the player experiences a world where the social media buisniss model has been implemented in healthcare. Players use their data as payment for their care. this makes healthcare cheap and efficiënt at the cost of our privacy.
