VISUALISATION

CHALLENGE

Our challenge was to come up with a new efficient design for ryles tube [feeding tube] to reduce the  complications associated with the existing design.

SELECTION

Visualisation is a key element in decision making, they say pictures are brain’s language. In short, it is  use of  graphical representation to convey your idea. It provides a clear cut view of your idea,  eliminates the unnecessary hassles and also helps us to actively think / modify that idea.

APPLICATION

I started with classic drawing of human gastrointestinal system with a ryles tube in it.  Doing this  helped me not only the hotspots of the problem but it also gave me an idea of what else can be  done to increase the functions of ryles tube. After identifying the hotspots, I drew different designs  of  ryles tube. After coming with the new design , I used these drawings to illustrate my idea to my  professor. Since it was a picture my professor quickly understood what I said, saving us the time.  Also the drawing helped him to give some good inputs on what else was lacking and what else we  can do to improve it. He further added a few points to it.

INSIGHT AND APPROACH

Visualisation is a powerful tool ,it is a way providing a crystal clear version of your idea. It saves time  and also catches the attention of the viewer. People tend to show more interest to an idea with  picture than to a simple plain idea. Since it catches their attention, it automatically means we have  their perspective and criticism. This implies that the quality of idea/product can be improved thus  creating more value.
