Receiving a shot or discussing health problems can be stressful, but does not always have to be. We measure participant’s skin conductance as they use medical devices or visit hospitals and note times when stress occurs. We then prototype possible solutions and record how the emotional experience changes. We hope work like this helps bring the medical community closer to their customers.
