Engineered Care's Virtual Health Assistant

The application features a fully animated virtual character that can directly interact with a patient and/or caregivers. This "face-to-face" interaction allows the interface to reach patients with much lower levels of health literacy. Also, the interface can convey human emotion to provide encouragement and to foster a relationship with the technology that improves adherence. Finally, the software can continuously acquire information from patients about their experience and adjust its messaging if appropriate to facilitate the trial.
