Spatial Lab – Student Led UX/UI Design Project at Emily Carr

Healthcare stakeholders seek to reduce the cost and accessibility of acute care especially for elder and underprivileged groups. During times of emergencies like a global pandemic, the burden is creating even more problems. Spatial Lab’s home testing solutions will open markets for alternative wellness tests and examinations and thus connect more people to adequate healthcare. In an effort to reduce hospital acute care self-directed wellness testing can engage people early on in their health awareness. For instance, Tuberculosis, Diabetes, Coronavirus, Cardiovascular disease and many other disease states have early-stage biomarkers that are not commonly used in medical care. However, biomarkers alone have not proven to be a reliable way to triage and create health care referrals. Spatial Lab combines testing and analytics with its at-home platform. We can help people understand their risk progression to disease, while providing both options for lifestyle change and appropriate data for early referrals to care. This will create a cost and time saving solution for providers, patients and insurance companies alike.
