While quantitative differences across formats were not statistically significant, <strong>qualitative feedback strongly favored the interactive display<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants reported improved communication, increased control over their health data, and stronger engagement. The large display\u2019s physical presence and intuitive touch interface encouraged shared exploration, leading to greater empowerment and rapport.
