Engineering Design

SSSA Pontedera 5 March – 16 April

Design short course 2013

Course objectives, approach

Objectives: Introduce participants to some Stanford Design Group/d.School and Silicon Valley design methods used in early stages of designing a new product. Content: Mix of introduced ideas and techniques + hands-on sessions Schedule: Tuesday/Thursday, with break during last week of March + Easter Expectations: Modest “compiti” between classes, to gather information, build prototypes. Some tools, materials are provided for class. Student teams are expected to add to these on their own.

Background: Two kinds of project courses • Projects specified by instructor • Pedagogically inspired • Everybody does same project • Content introduced Just in Time • Results:

–  Effective content injection –  High enthusiasm –  Potential for overload –  Organized –  Sometimes unclear if

“real world”

• Projects taken from outside (e.g. industry) • Every project is different • Process introduced Just in Time.

• Results: –  Real world –  Mixed enthusiasm –  Potential for overload –  Sometimes seen as

“not organized”

IntelliCare: persona development


from exploring general devices to convey information between elders and

caregivers, to focusing on the specific need of caregivers. To further investigate

the new project direction a scenario driven solution emerged (See section 5.2) as

a result of the Stanford team’s efforts.

5.2. Scenario-Driven Solution

5.2.1. Introduction

To explore the possibilities for helping caregivers and elders, Team INTELiCare

developed a system aimed at extending both the duration and quality of the

monitored living phase of life for an elder, illustrated in Figure 4. This is to be

achieved by focusing on two important factors faced by elders and caregivers

during this period of life: improving and simplifying access to information

regarding an elder for caregivers, and amplifying the social connectedness

between an elder and his / her friends and family. To best describe the principles

of the proposed iCare system, a specific user scenario was used:

Figure 11: Mary and her son Jeff

This scenario was developed by the members of team INTELiCare. It serves as a

situation that the team used to design around. The situation is intentionally

designed to be simple, so the initial system design may be straightforward and

less prone to complication.

Meet Mary and Jeff. Mary is an 88-year old widow who lives independently at her

home. She is in good physical health, but is becoming more forgetful as her age

increases. Additionally, she has become more isolated, resulting in decreased

physical and social activity levels. Mary’s son Jeff becomes increasingly

concerned as he notices decline in her activity levels and mental sharpness.

When the need arises, Jeff will act as Mary’s primary caregiver, since he is her

How: Based on user interviews, benchmarking (literature + social services, etc.) Why: promotes attention to detail that makes a design truly meet users’ needs

IntelliCare: context framing, benchmarking

iCare Project Statement

! Prolonged elder independence by supporting:

" Caregiver on the go

! Make it easier to maintain a career, family, and be aneffective caregiver

" Evaluate non-medical criteria

! Answer the question – “How are you doing?”

" Social connectedness

! Foster social interaction among an elder’s primarycaregiver and social network

Design short course 2013 *Wilde, D.J., Teamology: The Construction and Organization of Effective Teams, Springer-Verlag (2009)

When faced with a design challenge my first preference is to…

take some time to think about the problem, perhaps sketching ideas, or making notes. My best ideas often come to me when I’m in this reflective mode.

talk to people, look things up, go places, and get as much input as I can. I find that my best ideas are often triggered by external interactions.
