Inside the blood vessel. A visual language for blood gases.
Visual Blood represents blood gas information in a virtual blood vessel. Visual elements bring blood components and acid–base parameters into one scene, offering an alternative way to examine numerical results.

How Visual Blood works.
Explore blood gas results as an animated scene, then follow the studies behind the prototype.
What you see
Blood gases, electrolytes, glucose and acid–base balance appear as visual elements inside a virtual blood vessel. The training video explains how these elements change when values move outside their normal ranges.
The research includes screen-based and virtual-reality simulation studies, followed by a study of participants’ experiences. These studies examine interpretation and usability in simulated settings.
