Congestive Heart Failure for Everyone!
"Chest tightness. Fatigue. Shortness of breath. For anyone suffering from congestive heart failure (CHF), it can be challenging to communicate to doctors just how severe the symptoms feel. As a result, physicians sometimes misdiagnose this disease or underestimate its debilitating effects.
But a Mac-based simulator, developed by the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca in collaboration with teams from the RJO Group and Corsair Studio, now makes it possible for physicians to experience — firsthand — what CHF patients feel at various stages of this chronic disease."
“It’s an interesting physiological experience. After going through the simulation, many doctors said, ‘Wow, I had no idea it was this intense this early on.’”
This i so great... anyone who had been to the doctor and tried desperately to explain their symptoms (while enduring impatient and unconcerned looks from the practitioner sitting across from you) should appreciate the brilliance of this simulator!
