Project Details

An interactive simulation of Acute Myocardial Infarction (heart attack) for medical students. 
 
Using the branching capabilities of HyperCard, students are allowed to visually explore arteries of the heart along with organized data, animation, and audio commentary from an expert physician. 
 
Combines MRI data driven animations with a hypermedia organized interface to encourage non-linear information exploration by medical students.
