How Virtual Narratives Can Improve Patient-Doctor Communication

چکیده
Interactive Media can be efficient tools to support patient-doctor communication, yet their development costs make them available for use in institutional communication only. We suggest that Interactive Narratives, whose content is generative by nature, can address this issue by helping to visualise specific data. Using interactive narrative technologies that we have developed over the past 10 years, we introduce two example applications. One consists in customising interactive narrative directly from free text patient education documents. The other is to visualise patient’s experience in a narrative format from patient’s questionnaire.
