Aura envisions a future method of interacting with our health data, involving our senses in subtle physical micro-interactions. These interactions seamlessly convey information through gentle motions, creating a natural and unobtrusive way of sharing electrocardiogram vital insights. I aim to translate medical health information to the core of basic motion interactions, embedding non-invasive notifications that inform, but do not demand focus.
