"MediCubes: A Health Monitoring Toy for Children";

Kurzfassung englisch:
Especially for young children measuring their physiological parameters to assess their health can be stressful, even when conducted at home by their parents. Therefore we present a concept that can relieve some of the anxiety correlated with an examination and implemented it in a test setup we call "MediCubes" to investigate how this approach is received. In this system cube shaped tangible objects are fitted with noninvasive sensors measuring pulse, temperature, blood oxygen saturation and lung capacity while interacting with them. Incorporation in a storytelling game allows guiding a child through a series of unperceived physiological measurements as an enjoyable experience. The acquired data is stored on a tablet computer and can be reviewed by parents or doctors.
