Reflection - Learning Launch

Challenge

I am a member of a team of 4  who are trying to solve a problem related healthcare.To be  specific we are controlling the dripping of saline bottle , monitoring the flow of saline and  pressure control in the saline bottle to avoid backflow. By discussing the problem with  doctors, nurse's and patients and internet research we have gathered a problems related to  custom saline bottle usages. Those are as follows:

1) Nurse need to control the dripping rate of saline at particular intervals, but due to

workload nurse may forget to act on time.

2) After completion of saline in the bottle, emptied bottle need to be changed

immediately, otherwise backflow of blood occurs.

3) Saline dripping rate, pressure data is not available in custom saline bottles  4) Nurses forget the time to change the emptied bottles.

Selection

Our team has gone through different tools used in design thinking processes and has selected  the learning launch as our tool. As video lecture on learning launch says this tool helps us to  conduct different experiments on  protypes and select the best one suited considering  advantages and disadvantages. The need here is the superior saline bottle having addressed  above problems, and superiority is found by conducting experiments on different prototypes.  We selected this to solve our problem because we had concept ready but to check whether  our hypothesis works well, we need learning launch tool.

Application

For our first Learning Launch we had developed a smart saline monitoring system with  alarming system and dripping control.For monitoring we used LCD display, for alarming we  used lighting alarm's.And for controlling the backflow of blood we provided the manually  operated mechanism.The prototype was tested on patient under doctors guidance and  following results arrived

1 ) Nurse has to be within the range to control the dripping rate.

2) Lightning alarming range is limited.

3)  LCD monitoring is good, but they some times need to access the data far from hoapitals,  hence their is need of remote  data accessible  monitoring system.

Keeping the advantages and disadvantages we developed the 2nd learning launch.This time  data of saline system such as pressure, dripping rate is accessible through their mobile with  help of gsm module,  they can automatically control the dropping rate with their mobiles. For  alarming we used buzzer's  and also sms alert.It was tested for a week trials and doctors and  nurses were satisfied with this prototype.

Insight

The insight we gained from applying learning launch tool was that to experimentally verify  the assumption and prove our hypothesis.This insight helps to better our prototypes and  modify it while still being in the design thinking process. The feedback helped us to modify  the prototype in a better way and gave insights to  include better mechanism and tools design  to the product.

Approach

Our team have gone through different design thinking tools like mind maping, visualization,  story telling, it was the time for learning launch.   Our teams need to review the feedback got  from earlier learning launches and apply insights for upcoming prototypes, and develop it  into product having advantage's than already existing similar market products, and achieve  the market success.
