Instructions







Week 1


We made a group and created a figjam board on figma, google drive and multiple interview questions for our client.


Figure 1.0 Group



Here is our timeline that we made.

Week 2


For this week, we got our briefing from our client and consulted with them about our interview questions.


Figure 1.2 Briefing Notes



Here are the interview questions. We also made different translations of the questions for the interviewees preferences.

Week 3



These are our target audience after receiving feedback from our tutor.


Figure 1.4 Target Audience



During the search for interviewees, we had contacted many institutes with professional and family caregivers. Unfortunately, all of them rejected us. It was a struggle having to find the interviewees. In the end we managed to find 4 interviewees who fit in one of our target audience.

Then we conducted the interviews. Everyone including myself had to interview one person each. Since there was 4 of us it happened to fill in for all of us. During the interviews, we decided it was best that at least 2 group members would be conducting in case of a technical issue in recording.




Empathy Phase



Figure 1.6 Interviewees Part 2

Unfortunately, we did not reach the required interviewees for one of our target audience and had to contact our client. We also tried contacting more people for the interviews.



Figure 1.7 Transcript Highlights


Here are our transcripts organised in sticky notes. We had already made a google doc for each transcripts and only then pasted everything into the figjam board.




Define Phase



After creating our sticky notes, we organised them in different categories for a better understanding. We held a group meeting to discuss what to discuss and properly organise the sticky notes with each other's help.

This is our user personas we made as referenced from our interviews and sticky notes.

Define


We had an activity during class where we needed to make a problem statement and how might we questions.


Figure 1.9 How Might We?



Here is our finalised problem statement.

Ideation Phase


On week 6, we went into our ideation phase. We had a group activity where we had to draw out some ideas using the crazy 8 activity.


Figure 2.1 Crazy 8



Here is our ideation in the figjam board.


Figure 2.2 Ideas


In our finalised decision, we all agreed that our product should be a watch since all the interviewees wanted someone to talk to and find proper professional advices easily.


Here we had a meeting discussing about what to add to the watch.

Figure 2.4 Watch Prototype Ideation


For the presentation, we were divided equally among ourselves and those who had contributed less on the slides would have to present more of it.

I was in charge of the background research and testing.






Prototype Phase


We made a working title for our prototype and made some changes from our tutor's feedbacks. We also created a moodboard for our website prototype.

Figure 2.5 Week 8 Progress Work



Based on our feedback, we created a google form for our interviewees to get some opinion about our product.

Week 10


After we collected our interviewees feedbacks from the form, we made a summary of it.


Figure 2.7 Interviewee Feedback Form



During class, we made scenarios for our testing. All of us made one and we would choose and mix some for the finalised version.

Week 11



We made some changes to our prototype as we delve deeper into the detailed parts of the functionality.



Figure 2.9 Prototype Progress


After receiving feedback from our tutor, they said that our avatars looked too childish. So I had to change that and remake another version.


Week 12


These are the sitemaps where my groupmates worked on.


Figure 3.0 Sitemaps




One of my groupmates researched on the fonts we would be using.


Figure 3.1 Design Iteration



Here are the materials that I researched on that would fit the watch prototype.


Figure 3.2 Watch Materials


I made more avatars as changed by our tutor, but it was still considered to childish and in the end I made a very corporate avatar.


Figure 3.3 New Avatars



Our leader made the website as I helped out a tiny bit in some of the layout design.

These are the watch prototype where my group members worked on.

Week 13



These are the finalised avatar icons that I made.



Figure 3.6 Finalised Avatar Icons




Here are the finalised version of our 3D model of the watch. All of us had worked on it as we transferred the blender file to each other.

Here is the Website prototype.

Test Phase

For this stage, we finalised all the scenarios and tasks for the testing with 2 of our previous family caregivers we had interviewed. 

I was tasked to manage the testing session along with my group leader as the recorder. After the testing was over, I gave them the survey to fill out on how satisfied they were with our product.


Figure 3.9 Testing Scenarios


Figure 4.0 Testing Participants




These are the results of the testing after revisiting the recordings. We also made some necessary changes for our prototype on some of the useful information we received from our interviewees.

Final Outcome


For the final week where we had our presentation, we rehearsed our lines multiple times so that we would fit in the time frame of the presentation timing. 

Our final feedback was to refine the testing slides.
