Today we are proud to reveal something very different, a unique and powerful project that has come to fruition after months of hard work.
Lying at the intersection of digital health, technology, and art, Cocoon is a generative art installation that questions the relationship between the singular and the communal, our understanding of the human body, and the interconnectedness of life itself, all powered through Empatica’s technology platform.
The concept behind Cocoon: Health is a community endeavor
Cocoon uses our medical-grade EmbracePlus smartwatch and its SDK in a novel way: to showcase how bodies, our health, and our very lives are interconnected, something we have had to discover the hard way after two years of living with Covid-19. We have always thought of taking our health measurements as an individual, often solitary act, quantified through our vital signs and how we experience and understand what our own bodies are trying to tell us, sometimes in an ambiguous way.
