BiomARker in Oncology: An Augmented Diagnostic Reality

Pharmaceutical leader AstraZeneca needed an impactful trade show experience to highlight their medical advances.  Partnering with Visual Alchemy, the team at Balance did just that by creating a showstopping application to help the brand educate medical professionals. Working through many layers of complex medical data to ensure the most accurate representation of the product was depicted, Balance created the BiomARker in Oncology application. The immersive app gives attendees detailed information about four different cancer therapies AstraZeneca targets. From design to providing live support during the event, the team worked tirelessly to ensure a state-of-the-art guest and trade show experience.

Using a provided iPad, visitors activate the experience using an image on the booth wall. Upon activation, the image comes to life and a woman appears on the screen as a photo-real, 3D model with transparent anatomy. Each organ related to the presentation animates as a highlighted navigation path –  lungs for non-small cell lung cancer, breasts for breast cancer, bladder/uterus for urothelial carcinoma, and ovaries/uterus for ovarian cancer.

Users tap on each of the four organ pathways and are transported inside the organ to view the cancerous tumor present in the areas they are exploring. Incredible photo-real animations, interactive graphics, and on-screen text guides the user through exploring the associated tests, diagnostic information, and test results. If a trade show booth representative is asked questions they may not know, they can turn on the secret Rep Mode and jump to specific areas for information within each pathway.

The app utilizes Balances' proprietary analytics platform, illumine™, to track each tap, which provides analytics that show how the app is being used by both booth representatives and visitors. These quantifiable metrics, and a larger crowd than the company has ever experienced at an event, provided the the team with the feedback they were hoping for: a highly successful and well-attended trade show exhibit.

The Idea

To create an interesting, interactive, and medically accurate application to educate doctors and other medical professionals about AstraZeneca's advances on cancer treatment.

Services

From design and development to providing live support, our powerful partnerships with our clients and vendor-partners ensure that every goal is met. When the expectation is high, our standards are higher. To create a medical grade educational tool meant hours of training, layers of changes, strict compliance considerations to regard, and an elevated level of detailed precision, but that's nothing new for us. It's what we do for every project we take on.

The Result

Most well-attended trade show booth in company's history.
