On the interactive infographic, I found that I have less than a 5% chance of developing heart disease within the coming years. Not only was I fully engaged during my time of inputting all the information, but that same attention carried over into reading the results.

The idea of creating an interactive infographic was incredible! The biggest problem with most static information is establishing the connection and sparking the interest from the author to the reader. By allowing for a dynamic source of information to vary based on the results inputted into it, it allows for the reader’s to stay focused longer and absorb information better!

Not only was the user experience informative and interactive, the infographics themselves would change depending on the information submitted to it, allowing the user to see where they stand against the numbers. While this exact website may only be used for medical purposes, the idea of turning an infographic, into a dynamic piece of information, is a monumental step in the way that information can be disseminated through it.

Additionally, the website allows users to create their own graphics to display information, such as survey counts and icon arrays. The following example is my own:

While it may be very rudimentary, the point of it remains the same. By allowing this information to be created by anyone, and still be accessible for everyone, it can help to usher in a new wave of how information can be disseminated! However, the potential for false information to be spread through this infographics still exist, so it is important to always conduct research or fact-check on whatever it may be that you have read!
