By 2030 30% of population over 65 will be over 85\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIt depends on the individual. Once you get to know them you will notice, like this is something they usually wouldn\u2019t do. Like happy individuals will become cranky or irritable all of the time. Appetite is the big one, change in appetite.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Quote(s):<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cDepression, is a huge thing. They are separated from their families. And sometimes families don\u2019t get to come visit them. Or they don\u2019t see them as often, so with that age it\u2019s a big time to go more into depression. And it can be from somebody being tearful, to somebody just quitting to eat, or somebody just completely stopping to mingle with other people, and we want to prevent that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSometimes it\u2019s a fall or sometimes they\u2019re just not taking the medication the way they\u2019re supposed to take it. I\u2019ve had somebody come in, and they\u2019re told to take calcium 3 times a day and they say, \u2018you know I forgot my dose in the morning and I forgot it at lunch so I decided to take 3 pills at night\u2019. It happens. Or, \u2018I just decided to skip my insulin\u2019 and their blood sugar is way up so when it goes way up there try to double dose and then the blood sugar goes way down and then they\u2019re in critical condition.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Quote(s):<\/span><\/p>\n \u201c<\/b>You need your mind to be sharp in-order to keep your body sharp\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Design Criteria<\/b><\/p>\n Design Goal:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What have you learned about the target customers?<\/b><\/p>\n What ends does the design need to fulfill for the target customer?<\/b><\/p>\n Functional:<\/b> Rooted simplicity & Technologically<\/span><\/p>\n Emotional:<\/b> Caregiving <\/span><\/p>\n Psychological:<\/b> Sense of Safety<\/span><\/p>\n Social: <\/b>Interaction between stakeholders<\/span> User Perceptions:<\/b> How important is your proposed offering to the target customer\u2019s well being? Are there aesthetic attributes necessary to succeed with the target customer? Are there reputational aspects involved? What are the key research insights?<\/span><\/p>\n Our product is directly related to the wellbeing of the user. In order to make sure the user stays in one\u2019s home as long as possible, we need to educate the user about their health and make it simple for them to improve it. The target customer, a new retiree (around 65 years old), will not be looking for flashy aesthetics. Instead, the product must have a simple design with clear and functional aesthetics. This is not a product for entertainment. From our research, retirees are resistant to technology, applications, and help from younger people, so the product should have a classical feel to it, emphasize getting straight to the point, and not force or demand the user to use it. The offering should point towards the future as to not make the retiree feel old or dying. <\/span><\/p>\n Problems\/Needs\/Opportunities:<\/b> What are the target user\u2019s preferred outcomes as they engage with the offering? What pain points does the target user experience with the existing options? What gaps exist with existing options that may hamper the target user\u2019s ability to achieve preferred outcomes? What are the newly emerging needs or aspirations of the target user?<\/span><\/p>\n As of now, after retirement, the user has the option to live out their full retirement in their own home, do so with the help of a caregiver, or eventually move out to a nursing\/assisted-living home. Retirees in the demographic we are looking at consistently have negative things to say about the potential option of leaving their home and almost all prefer to stay in their home. There are currently many problems that often force or accelerate this undesirable migration into the nursing\/assisted-living homes. These problems often include personal lifestyle flaws including physical and mental inactivity and lack of diligence regarding personal medical issues. Our target user needs a product to make it easier for them to monitor and care for their physical and mental health.<\/span><\/p>\n Functional Attributes:<\/b> Does the design of the offering need to accommodate specific use-case scenarios? List them in order of importance to the target customer. Does the design need to address compatibility or standards issues? <\/span><\/p>\n Constraints:<\/b> What are the confines of our project work? What limitations might there be based on costs or requirements?<\/span><\/p>\n Our project work is constrained by a number of attributes of our target customers:<\/span><\/p>\n The cost of developing the product will be decided by Optum, however, the cost of prototyping must remain low.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Patterns + Guiding Principles Point of View Statement (POV) Early retiree needs a way medium of preventionary monitoring in a way that makes him\/her feel safe\/secure.
