Digital Home and Health Care Facility connects residents with health care providers
Researchers at Ball State University have built a Digital Home and Health Care Facility to test user reactions to medical technology integrated into a home.

The home incorporates scaleslinks that measure weight and send the results automatically to the doctor's office, an exercise bike that includes an interactive video game and a mirror with a built-in screen, linked to a computer that shows the news and other information.

"It feels just like a real home, when you step inside you forget really quickly what it is," Michael Bloxham, director of insight and research and testing center director for Ball State's Center of Media Design, said. (photo Ball State University)
