• Vigo: a headset to track your eyes and motion to notify you when you're drowsy
• Epiphany Eyewear: video-recording glasses that look like normal glasses

Data visualization of symptoms

Over 30 weeks, Virgil Wong worked with nine patients to create an innovative data visualization project.

On the left side of each portrait, Wong selected one of his patient sketches and added each of the symptom shapes selected by the patient. On the right side, symptoms experienced each day are represented by colors chosen by the patient. Each row indicates an entire week, and each column indicates a specific day within the given week.
