Reflection - Mind Mapping

Challenge & Selection

I noticed the elderly people in my family and in my neighbourhood, I observed a-lot of them faced several issues, mainly back and joint pain. This problem made it difficult For them to perform many essential tasks is difficult. They often needed external help To be able to perform them. Among people Facing discomfort and pain due to back pain, several mutual elements were visible. To further understand the problem in great depth I opted for mind-mapping outlining the problems. Mapping them to possible solutions Creating relations between different elects to better define the scope and form a cohesive solution to the Problems identified.

Application

Given the pandemic, I decided to conduct an online google survey among Elderly people to better understand the target demographic, analyse the problem To find the underlying issue  and develop a proper solution. From the insights I gathered from this, along with telephonic interviews. I developed a mind. I noted down the most crucial insights and information using key words, and then made connections between facts and ideas visually- developing a coherent flow of elements. The process really helped connect the dots between different people from the target audience and understand the problem. I analysed that most people suffered from arthritis, Parkinson’s diseases and acidity. I created a mind-map of the same.

Insight and Approach

Incorporating the mind mapping method in the problem identification and research. It drastically improved creativity and helped me understand and retain the user in great depth. It helped me generate new ideas, unique concepts and reduce complexity of the problem by breaking it down into simple terms and forming the structure to conceptualize and broaden perspective. It helped organise the information, data and essential inputs in a way that helped creating the process of generating ideas much simpler

If i had to take another approach, i would also include a card-sorting method in the process along with mindmap to develop an even better solution to the problems identified.
