DP2: Health and Wellness




Our current design project focusses on needfinding regarding the general issue of well-being and health. The goal is to come up with a product or system that will make people healthier. Based on many interviews and synthesizing sessions, my group (Andrew and Hyejin, pictured above) has decided to focus on increasing body-awareness and encouraging good habits, specifically for the user group of sedentary office workers. We are finishing up our prototype tonight, and then tomorrow we will be filming a short video clip of the "product story," a week in the life of an office worker using our product, Kunga. Kunga is an Americanization of the Korean word for health. Stay tuned for next week's project wrap-up report...
