Hi everyone,

After a few twists and turnarounds recently, we realized how complexe the medical field is. It all depends on the type of hospital, the department in which you would like to work, or the state and the needs of the patient. The further we go, the more we become aware on how essential interviews are.
But we must ensure that we have the quality and the quantity. We alternate between […]

Hey everyone!

Assumptions are made to be put to the test. Some pass it, but many fail. This week in an interview with some grandmothers from Ticino an assumption was dropped. These grandmothers do not want to sell their work, it is simply not worth it. They prefer a hundred times to give things as presents to dear ones.

Interviews and discussions are great though because ideas pop up leading […]

Hello everyone!

We had been unable to write a blog post last week – but there is a famous quote –

” Be patient, Good things take time! ”

and yes, we are delighted to tell everyone that our Prototype 1.0 is working! YAY!

These last few weeks; the whole team has not only been relaxing after the exams but also have been working together on the prototype, its design and implementation.

The protot […]

Dear readers,

These last weeks we worked on different aspects of the prototype in order to validate our assumptions. We used the prototyping canva as a framework to guide us through this process.

We all appreciated starting working on the actual prototype and having our first results.

Hi everyone!

This week, we have made a lot of interviews. On wednesday, we have spoken with Pierre Weissenbach, the former head of care at La Source Hospital.

He worked in health care since 1974, as nurse, anesthetist and finally as director of nursing. He has also worked for the CICR.

He has seen the technological evolution with time, the problems faced by nurses, the differences between hospi […]

Hey everyone,

This week team Vukovi is on holidays but we are not forgetting about CHIC as we are all looking to test the desirability of our product.

To do this each member of the team as to contact one craftsperson and two potential clients to get a feedback from them.

Then we will meet next week and debrief our findings and, of course, prepare the MS2.

This blogpost hint is: “it will make […]

Dear readers,

We hope you are doing great!

ZhuZhu team had quite a productive meeting last week! We discussed about our prototyping canvas and the feedback which we received from the teachers in order to define our Minimum Viable Product (MVP). We will present this MVP in mid-February for the second milestone. In that matter, we divided the tasks to-be-done before the deadline. The timing […]

Hello everyone!

It has been quite a long time since our last post, but better late than never! 😉

The exams system is a bit different in Geneva and the HES-SO than our friends from EPFL, ECAL, and U […]

Hey everybody!

We have survived exams!!!

Now we can relax for a little while, and use the time for CHIC too. Fortunately, we have a plan.

After one of the best meetings since the beginning of the year (thanks reflexivity!), we came out with a list of tasks for each to do before the 12th of February when we will meet up again to prepare for the MS2.

The hint of the week: it allows to see poten […]

Hello everyone,
This week our team encountered a reversal of situation.  Our idea of product which we tried to enforce by doing a lot of interviews, was presented by Philips this week in a congress in Paris… We realize that we won’t be able to compete with Philipps, so we have to start from almost zero. We still want t […]

Hello to everyone!

Apologies for publishing a late post but our engineers (Florian, Jonathan and Harshdeep) have been very busy putting together the design for the prototype and also with exams.

We also ordered our first sensors(It’s so hard to get anything delivered in Switzerland!!), found our EPFL supervisor! In short, its been quite an eventful last week.

We plan to meet very sooon for ou […]

Dear readers,

The team finished their respective exam session and is ready to for 2019. As part of an assignment, each team member had to work on a reflexivity paper and share it with the others. It proved to be a useful exercise and allowed us to take a moment to look at the foundations of the team. We decided to continue this exercise throughout the program, as taking a step back and making sur […]

Hello everybody !

This week was really intense for all members but we managed to find some time for our weekly meeting. We met in EPFL with our mentors so we can get some advises from them and it was very interesting. For the next two weeks we have planned to do some additional interviews in order to get more information for our product and we will organise very soon a team activity to relax a […]

Hi everyone,

This week was quite calm in terms of CHIC program because of our respective exams.

Nevertheless, we all started to collect the material we will need to make our firsts prototypes and we are looking forward putting in common the work of all the members.

The hint for this week is the picture 😉

Have a wonderful week!

Hugs,

Team Vukovi

Today, we had the opportunity to meet each other and share all our ideas and issues for the milestone 1.

In this sunny day, we also find our team name “FogTeam” based on the weather reputation of Yverdon.

We are ready to play ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Hi everybody,
This week, we are having a lot of fundamental questions about feelings. It is hard to understand exactly what one feels when he misses someone, and even harder to know how to feel better.
However, we are sure that we are about to find some keys that will enable us to succeed the challenge we have given ourselves.

Yay!In this meeting, we made sure to finalize the idea we have in mind and discuss a bit more in detail about the Milestone 2, Prototyping and Reflexivity Report. Even though, we all have exams we have decided to do meetings in the […]

Hey everybody!

What a week! Except getting excited for the little snow that fell on Lausanne the team got together to decide on the final idea and work on the reflexivity papers.

We are happy to announce that we have reached a consensus for the product!

Curious what it is? Well we do not want to spoil the surprise, so during the coming month we will leave some hints. If somebody is able t […]

Hi everybody!

I hope you are all well! At TΨ, we are finding back to normality after a little Christmas and New Year’s break. While this is the exam period and most team members are stressed with the according exam preparation, we are nevertheless continuing with the CHIC-program.

This week, we have held the first meeting of 2019 through a videoconference. This was a different type of mee […]
