healing remains by Lauren Platts from usa

Healing remains was conceived from the contemplation on being able to capture the pure emotion that one feels while standing at the grave of a loved one. The intention was to be able to record authentic responses digitally, as a means to express and release one’s grief. When considering different ways to achieve this, the mobile phone presented itself as the most convenient, and cost effective option. I then considered that many people visit graves sites very few times, due to travel cost or emotional turmoil, among many other reasons. I obviously wanted my product to fulfill a larger consumer need, so I began to consider its use away from the grave. This caused me to open up the usership to include the living, dying, dead, and surviving, where I came upon a need to share that authentic emotion even before death. Much of the grief that comes from death is caused because the individual is no longer around to share advice or life events.
With that in mind, Healing Remains allows individuals to record, organize, and share digital conversations with their loved ones. It allows messages of all media types (video, photo, music, audio, text, and graphic) to be created directly, or uploaded as message content. These messages can be released for viewing immediately, set to release at a specific date, or set to be released by the executor at a specific life event of the viewer. The creator can then send digital invitations to the individuals with whom they have created conversations and can empower an executor to activate the account posthumously. The surviving individuals can log in and view their available conversations and have the option to respond with their own media content. This allows them to create a living dialog between them and the deceased, as well as act as a personal journal that can be revisited at any time. In a sense, then, these digital recordings can act as “healing remains” for those that are left to grieve for the lost.
