Angie: What is a digital vaccine?
Bhargav: Digital vaccines are an application of gamified virtual reality and artificial intelligence to attempt what is called neurological and immunological modulation. The Digital Vaccine Project has been developed through more than fifteen years of scientific research within an ecosystem led by Carnegie Mellon University that involves several other universities around the world and across the U.S. The question behind it has been “Is it possible that powerful technologies, particularly software, can be designed and used to trigger the body’s immune system?” Can we induce an immune response in the body with just software to actually prevent diseases safely and effectively, and back that up with rigorous scientific evidence?
