#1 – Virtual Hallucinations, Sedig
#2 – University of Plymouth Sexual Health Sim
#3 – MD Kiosk
#4 – Drexel Island
#5 – Health Information Island
#6 – Heart Murmur Sim
#7 – Remember Me
#8 – Second Health, NHS London
#9 – NMC Research Park
#10 – Genomic Island

If you are interested in discussing the project further or would like to meet up in-world then contact Andy Ginsberg (in world).
