Architectural Potential of Data Representation: Modeling Physiological Processes

This inter-disciplinary project, seeks to develop new displays for visually representing physiologic variables, to enhance a clinician’s ability to see and rapidly respond to critical events. A digital architectural visualization of an individual’s physiologic data is created in real time. It is both a probing and representational system that brings together science and art through architectural design. Supported by a 5-year grant from the NIH, the project’s goal is to create a coordinated and interactive hyper-representation that articulates physiologic data in a format that is easily and quickly understood. Raw data is obtained from existing medical equipment that measures human physiological signs using non-invasive techniques. Using this data 3-D objects are created in digital space that represent physiologic changes within the body and show functional relationships that aid in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of critical event
