Why Social & Behavioral Science?
“Good engineering
cannot be separated from
social awareness and
deliberate consideration.”
“We should be well past the
days when the development of
technology is separated from
human needs, desires, and
behavior. This is why engineers
should engage with the social
sciences, and vice versa.”
Because Engineering Is Intended to Benefit Society
(March 23, 2021)
By John L. Anderson, President, National Academy of Engineering

15
Example:
Bronfenbrenner’s
Ecological Systems
Theory:
People are embedded
in nested systems
(Bronfenbrenner,1979; Bronfenbrenner & Crouter, 1983;
Bronfenbrenner & Morris, 1989)
Understanding People

A seat at “at the table” is too
late - the work is ‘baked!’
16

17
Social & Behavioral Science should be
“in the kitchen” when the dish is being
designed!

19
Leveraging Diverse Teams to Advance
Innovation & Equity
DBASSE Examples:
• Climate Crossroads Initiative – Climate
Resilient Communities Pathway

What is VR (Virtual Reality)
Computer-generated simulation of a 3-
dimensional image or environment that can be
interacted with in a seemingly real or physical
way (Oxford)
1. Non-immersive
● Computer-generated environment, but
allows the user to stay aware of and keep
control of their physical environment
● Video game
Heizenrader

Computer-generated simulation of a 3-dimensional
image or environment that can be interacted with in a
seemingly real or physical way (Oxford)
1. Non-immersive
2. Semi-immersive
● Perception of being in a different reality when
focused on the digital image, while allowing
users to remain connected to their physical
surroundings
● Flight simulator
Washington Post

Computer-generated simulation of a 3-
dimensional image or environment that can be
interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way
(Oxford)
1. Non-immersive
2. Semi-immersive
3. Fully-immersive
● Most realistic simulation experience,
complete with sight and sound (and
sometimes touch)
● Requires HMD (head-mounted display).
Meta

Positive Effects of VR
● Creates sense of presence
○ Presence makes the environment feel more realistic, which helps the person
within the VR space to focus on what's happening in the simulation
○ Submerging someone in an experience leads to a more emotive response
● Creates a sense of agency
○ Highly-immersive spaces give users full control over their surroundings
● Generates empathy
○ User can “experience” the world from another perspective, leading to better
understanding and appreciation of different lived experiences

VR for Good - Illustrative Use Cases
● Health
○ Fitness
○ Pain Management
○ Mental Health & Well-being
● Training/Education
○ Surgery
○ Situational preparedness
○ Soft skills
○ Education/learning
● Human Connection
○ Refugee camp walkthrough
○ Traveling While Black

Health: Fitness
● Physical effects of exercise in VR are like
any other activity that raises the heart
rate
● Making it fun (gamification, social
interaction) means people will more
likely stick with a fitness program
“Over the last 12 months I’ve lost almost 60 lbs.,
feel better, am stronger, and enjoy the process.
(Supernatural user)

Health: Pain Management
“Pain is in the mind.” Even if the pain
signals are firing up a patient's nerves,
the brain can be tricked into ignoring
them by focusing brain activity elsewhere
Children’s exposure to VR during burn
care procedures was associated with
lower levels of pain and reduced anxiety.
(National Institutes of Health review of ten published studies)

Health: Well Being
● VR therapy can treat and support a broad
range of conditions and challenges
including:
○ Stress management
○ Anxiety
○ Depression
○ Sleep disturbances
○ Chronic pain
● VR can deliver an immersive, non-
confrontational experience that heightens
the brain’s rewiring processes, de-stresses
the nervous system, and quells an
overthinking mind
Source: Cognihab

VR for Training/Education
● Safe and controlled environment
○ Simulate complex and dangerous scenarios to give people the opportunity to
practice in an accurate but safe space
● Increases engagement, focus and retention
○ Learn by doing, not just listening
○ Fun
● More impactful
○ Skills and lessons learned in VR are ‘stickier’
● Efficient/Cost effective
○ Research* shows that VR training is up to four times faster than classroom teaching
● Flexible and scalable
○ Individual training in VR allows you to learn at any time and at your own pace

From medical imaging to drug discovery, genomics
to patient monitoring, researchers across life
sciences are fusing traditional simulations and AI
to solve the next grand challenges.

Generative AI
Will Transform the
Pharmaceutical Industry
Drug discovery is a nearly $2 trillion industry
with $250 billion dedicated to R&D. The
industry is now jumping onto generative AI
to discover disease targets, design novel
molecules or protein-based drugs, and
predict the behavior of the medicines in
the body. NVIDIA BioNeMo provides
state-of-the-art generative AI models for
drug discovery, available from the cloud.

World Record-Setting
DNA Sequencing
Technique Helps
Clinicians Rapidly
Diagnose Patients
Researchers at Stanford using NVIDIA
accelerated computing won the Guinness
World Record for the fastest DNA
sequencing technique, achieved in five hours
and two minutes. The method allows
clinicians to
take a blood draw from a critical-care patient
and reach a genetic disorder diagnosis the
same day.

NVIDIA AI-Powered
Medical Devices
AI-powered medical devices can help
clinicians detect and measure anomalies,
up-level surgical skills, enhance image
quality, and optimize workflows. Here we
see an augmented reality overlay of a
patient’s anatomy from a CT scan, rendered
in real time and AI-augmented with NVIDIA
Holoscan. The video feed overlay allows the
surgeons to clearly view the patient’s
vascular and tissue structures.

NVIDIA’s Earth-2 Initiative
Aims to Accelerate
Climate Research
Our Earth-2 initiative will be a digital twin
of Earth. This simulation of the world will help
predict the complex multi-physics of Earth's
atmosphere, land, sea, and ice caps at
sufficiently high resolution. This will enable us to
better predict the regional impacts of human
actions over decades.

SMART SOLUTIONS FOR MORE EFFICIENT HOSPITALS
Healthcare providers are increasingly challenged with having to do more with less.
Artisight offers solutions for healthcare — built with NVIDIA Clara SDK on NVIDIA T4 and Quadro RTX — that improve efficiencies and patient care while
safeguarding practitioners.
Artisight’s platform aggregates data from a variety of sensors to create an intelligent IoT network within hospitals’ existing information technology
infrastructure.
Users of Artisight’s operating room coordination solution reported a 16x return on investment and a 5% increase in scheduling procedures. The company’s
intelligent ICU camera solution reduced nurses’ need to enter COVID-19 rooms by 3x−6x per shift, and the In-Patient Remote Monitoring solution reduced
patient falls by 78%.

14
AI SPEEDS TIME TO ACUTE MEDICAL CARE
Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the U.S. Fast diagnosis and treatment is key to
improving patient outcomes.
The Viz.ai Stroke Platform uses GPU-powered AI to automatically analyze CT images and
identify suspected large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes.
Connected directly to hospital scanners, the system alerts neuro-specialists of a suspected
stroke and sends the patients’ CT images to their mobile devices within minutes.

Heart disease is the world’s biggest killer. Until recently, the best test to diagnose heart disease
was an invasive and costly angiogram.
HeartFlow applies GPU-accelerated deep learning to deliver non-invasive diagnostics.
Leveraging CT scans and computational fluid dynamics, HeartFlow creates a personalized 3D
model of a patient’s coronary arteries and analyzes the impact of blockages.
HeartFlow provides higher diagnostic accuracy than other non-invasive cardiac tests, reduces
the need for unnecessary invasive angiograms by 83% and reduces healthcare system costs by
26%.

More than 2/3 of the world’s pathologists are distributed across only 10
countries. Noul is a Korean based company aiming to close the gap by enabling more
accurate diagnostic testing and dramatically improving people’s access to healthcare
worldwide.
Noul created a decentralized diagnostic platform, miLab™. miLab is powered by NVIDIA
GPUs, performs diagnostic processes from staining, digital imaging to AI analysis. Only
