The AugMed OSF Project was a collaborative project between Bradley University undergraduate students and the OSF Healthcare Innovation Lab. This project started out as a general idea over email and was developed by the students for handoff to OSF.
The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest healthcare challenges in recent history across the world. Misinformation and often the lack of access to understandable resources can cause hesitancy in practicing prevention and recommended vaccination protocols.
The purpose of this project was to inform young adults in a non-traditional, interactive way about uncommon COVID knowledge, such as the mutations and vaccines. The targeted user base for this project are teenagers and college-aged students that would be interested in enrolling into the STEAM program over the summer at OSF Jump Simulation.
Through the application and website, young adults who are interested in the medical field are exposed to a non-traditional medium, AR technology. The project will also provide a source of information that aligns with OSF’s initiative against COVID misinformation.
This project resulted in a prototype of the augmented reality application and a plan for an accompanying website that covers up-to-date information on COVID-19. The application contains an interactive COVID molecule, with a focus on virus structure, COVID variants, and the vaccine. The website will contain a timeline of COVID information, a 2d animation of the COVID vaccine, and a page that provides links to trusted sources. All information was handed over to OSF for further testing and development.

Final Presentation to Client
The OSF AR Team reviewed 3 similar apps involving AR informational use. Two are previous OSF AR apps, and another is a Mars informational app.
To better understand our users for the application, we distributed a survey to high school and college students. The survey helped us determine what information should be included within our project, and discover potential areas for misinformation.
