Challenge and Selection:  With a deep expertise and keenness for working with individuals with  schizophrenia, Danielle Schlosser wanted to vary the way we expect about  schizophrenia treatment. While working toward this goal at the University of  California San Francisco , she became interested by the planning thinking  approach and the way IDEO could also be ready to help.  Application:  Shortly after meeting Silvia and her team at IDEO, Danielle was surprised by the  kinds questions they asked and therefore the sort of their approach. “The  design thinkers asked me numerous questions that made me think differently a  few problems I’d been brooding about for a very while. I loved being asked  questions about ideas in a way that I’d thought I was an expert already.”  Insight and Approach:  An early insight came for Danielle when Silvia conducted her first interview of a  schizophrenia patient. “She didn’t use clinical terms during the interview and  she or he connected so well with the patient, putting him comfortable and  getting him to open up and express himself.” Danielle realized that Silvia was  anticipating lecture an individual while she herself was anticipating lecture a  patient. “I realized that the providers within the clinical system itself are a part  of the matter because I used to be not seeing my patient as an individual first.  This was tough for me to admit to myself.”  As a results of the work between UCSF and IDEO, Danielle and Silvia’s team  created Prime an app that helps individuals with schizophrenia achieve  goals and have interaction with others for support. The aim is to  enhance quality of life and alleviate hard-to-treat symptoms within this  population, then far the first trial results are promising.  “I realized that the persons in the medical system itself are part of the problem  because they were not seeing my patient as a person first.”  Start by defining the problem you’re trying to solve early. Before moving  toward solutions, spend time gaining a deeper understanding of the  requirements of the people you’re serving. Find the pockets of creative work  happening call at the sector , go out, and obtain inspired; get in context with  people.  Once you have an understanding of the people you’re serving, start ideating.

Brainstorm, what could be some solutions; what could be some ways of  approaching this? With an extended list of things to undertake, you’ll  feel easier experimenting and failing, knowing that you simply have more ideas.  The idea isn’t to succeed immediately but to learn as much as possible.
