Team SAT

THE PROJECT OFFICIALLY STARTED!!
In the past three months, we were busy to discuss with a lot of collaborators to find out opportunities for a collaborative project.
Since we met a doctor who was looking for designers to tackle the issue of the medical situation in Nigeria, we have prepared and set up this project. It started finally this week! We got a dedicated room for the project in IDE building. We are going to design our workplace as well through the course of our “journey” so that we can be creative and communicate smoothly!

SHARED SPECIALIZATION OF MEMBERS
The team has five students from different three master programs. We shared each specialty and strengths and discussed common and different perspectives. It seems that we have very good mixed expertises for the project! We will also share the result of Sixteen Personality Types Test on the Sunday unofficial team meeting!

OVERALL SCHEDULE
We have planned the three design phases in the project. First, in the goal setting stage, we will understand the current situation with literature research and the extensive field research in Nigeria, and set a design goal. Through the conceptualization phase, we will ideate solutions and then define one design direction through building low- and hi- fidelity prototypes. And last, in the detailed development phase, we will again go to field research with these prototypes to iterate designing further and create a final design.
We got positive reactions with this plan from the coaches and the local collaborator and doctor, Ibrahim. Also, we determined that Tobias and Masako are going to go to Nigeria on the first visit for the goal setting, Lenneart, Dounja, and Tine are going to go there on the second visit for the detailed design and evaluation phase.

ONLINE MEETING W/ IBRAHIM
We met a doctor in Nigeria, Ibrahim online. The team asked some questions and requests to Ibrahim for our visits. With weekly meeting, we are going to use Slack to communicate more frequently and casually with the team in Nigeria. Also, fortunately, he was very willing that we stay his place for three weeks of the field research.

RESEARCH STRUCTURE
In the coach meeting, we recognized the importance of having a good overview of research questions. This assignment involves a lot of research components, such as health care systems, patient Journey, DATA journey, local cultural traits, current/future technologies, diagnose methods, a way of distributing to the local market. We visualized the first version map and are going to change and adjust it through the course of the research. Tine started to do research about current technologies for monitoring blood pressure, Dounja also began the research about cause and treatment of hypertension. Others are trying to capture the cultural traits in Nigeria.

TRAVEL PREPARATION
Tobias and Masako are going to visit Nigeria for the field research for goal setting from 20th March for three weeks. To get visas, we are preparing for getting vaccinations, invitation letters, flight tickets and so on.

TEAM LOGO
Lenneart designed the cool logo mark of us!
