Best regards to all !

CARING

Hi everyone !

Today is our final day. The day to say farewell to most of people we met during this adventure.

CHIC is an incredible adventure and none of us will ever forget it. We learn how to pitch in front of people, how to build a device, how to buy hardware, how to manage a team and so many more.

Today, our team scatters across Asia. However, we know that we will stay together and continue the project.

Today is a new page in CARING story

Stay tuned, we still exist !

Hi everyone,

After yesterday’s amazing workshop at HKDI, today, we went to visit LSCM, a research center in Hong Kong that is focusing on IoT, robotics, AI, and other. The visit was great, especially the demos that they showed us about their robotic systems. Moreover, we had interesting insights about Hong Kong’s long-term strategy. Did you know that they are investing a lot into the attraction of foreign highly technological enterprises as well as into the attraction of foreign academia?

This evening, we will be at Brinc, a Hong Kong based accelerator, where we will pitch and present CARING. Thus, we working hard on delivering a good pitch. We will be able to tell you later how it went. So, keep following the blog,

CARING-team

Hi everyone!

Today we had a special day at HK Design Institute where all teams were split in different new teams. Each team was composed of 1 engineer, 1 business, 1 designer and 1 HK product or architecture designer. The goal of the workshop was to find a solution about specific themes related to Hong Kong and given at the beginning of the day. We had the choice between different issues such as housing, traffic, health or few others. However, we had to think about future this time; how this issue would evolve during the years and try finding a solution for the 2025 year. We started from studying the issue, then identifying different scenarios, imagining key numbers and a specific problem to finally prototyping a solution as an object. At the end, we conclude the session by presenting to a jury our solution in 2 minutes with few slides support. The day was really intense but very interesting! Some crazy ideas came out from this workshop such as Zao, t-shirts against pollution or Lucidy, a headband to take control of your dreams.

This experience was nice and we liked working on a different project for few hours, however CARING is not over yet ! Tomorrow we have our last pitch and Urbain is getting ready tonight to rock it !

Keep posted on our next article to know how it went

TPSY

Hi everyone,

Yesterday we finally succeeded to make our prototype, and precisely our screen buttons, work ! It was a big challenge for us, as we received our 3D prints in the morning, and as the electronic part was not responding. So, we had only few hours to assembly everything.

Then, the MS7 !

We prensented our business model, our engineering changes and our key learnings of Shenzhen that are the following ones :

• Shenzhen speed : prototyping goes very fast, and we had everything easily and in a short time.
• Optimism : when something isn’t working, stay positive and be creative to find new solutions
• Asking for help : don’t hesitate to ask others for help if you are in need, communication is the key !

Stay tuned,

More to come in Hong-Kong

CARING

Hello friends!

With the help of Céleste, our Chinese correspondent student here in Shenzhen, Camille managed to get great insights from her interview in Shenzhen Six People Hospital. It would greatly help us to brought our product on the market!

Most of the team went to visit the PCB factory and everyone were amazed by it, regardless their knowledge about it.

Our second prototype is on the way, as the PCB has almost every components it needs, the body is expected to come tomorrow, and the code needs to be flashed before saying Hurray. But we are still happy about our progress! Pablo is now taking care of the front-end/back-end communication and Morgane of the communication between the database and the data collected by the device.

Finally, Camille and Emilie are getting on fire for the pitch of tomorrow, strong from the improvements done from the previous one.

Stay tuned!

Hey there !

Here are some news after a well deserved chilly Sunday! We had two occasions to pitch on Friday, thefirst one at HAX with Maxim, and the second one at Hardware Massive with Morgane, and both were absolutely fantastic! We took note of the few comments, in order to adapt the presentation.

Those were great opportunities to meet people who had developped their business or idea in China. We mostly got insights on the know-how do Chinese do business, fairly different from what we studied.

The designers had the opportunities to attend a conference on Friday at Xivo Design, and had the opportunity to confront their views with freshly diplomed Chinese designers on Saturday, together with Camille. It was quite the thing to discover that they first design an object before finding a purpose for it. It opposes the design thinking, as we proceeded in CHIC during the first semester. But the story of the founder is a great proof of an alternative method!

On Saturday, Maxim and Urbain shared their work. Urbain went to one side of the city to meet a screen provider to FINALLY get those square screens he’s been dreaming of for 2 months. It was an awesome and kinda ironic experience to negociate the price of Intellectual Property with him. They are still disussing about it on WeChat. Maxim went to the other side of the city to visit a huge 3D printing and mold factory. He found out a great solution to the production of a batch of 1000 pieces with a plastic mold, and a way to guide the screen buttons by a double injection with ABS/Silicon. But the best surprise was for Camille, as the cost were extremely lower than those calculated before by her dearly engineers.

On Friday, the engineers went back to Huaqiangdbei to retrieve the screens they ordered from there. The same day, the PCB arrived at X-Factory, but due to the various activities we had, they will be achieved on Monday.

We are really happy about how it is going and are looking forward to further experience. As Mark, an American we met at Hardware Massive, everything goes so fast, you get addicted to it !

T-Psy

Hi there,

After nearly one week in Shenzhen, China, our project is evolving in a great way. We have sourced a lot of new components about which we did not know, and we have talked to local enterprises about the cost of manufacturing directly in China and about the different costs, benefits and challenges that this implies.

The whole team kept working hard on a possible future of CARING and additionnally a lot of workshops and visits have been proposed to us. Everything was there and business people, designers as well as engineers could efficiently develop new skills and knowledge. Last, but most certainly not least, we have had our first pitches in front of a professional audience. The first one was at HAX, an important hardware accelerator (can be seen in the title picture) and the second one was at Hardware Massive. The latter are actively helping young entrepreneurs to get in touch one with each other. That’s great!

Now we’ll see what next week will bring!

The CARING-team

Hello dear community!

Strong from the critics provided during the last milestone (the last gentle one), we enter a new phase in our project. Our designers are working like never for their final examination on this CHIC project, where new propositions of design are proposed each night. On the other hand, the engineers are writing their report, over which they explain and justify the choices they made until today. Finally Camille has to adapt our product to the Chinese market and explore business opportunities while we will all be there!

All components but the PCB arrived, it should be there tomorrow directly coming from SEEED studio in China. Once the next week has passed, we will be able to build and test the PCB, and report potential amelioration for the next model that we will have in China.

As mentioned before, we enter a new phase: we have to present a valid product to a new kind of public, that is evaluating us based on a different approach than before. We will have to prove them that our product is worth it.

Until then, stay tuned!

T-Psy

Hi everyone,

More ergonomic and equipped with a new hanging system, the latest version of Caring seems to be gradually moving closer to the final version. To achieve this, we put ourselves in the patient’s shoes to test several different prototypes. As you can see, Pablo was our favorite patient ahah! Who’s next?

In addition, to help us choose the pictograms we will use, we conduct short interviews. We have also launched an online form in which, if you see this message, you can participate via the following link: https://forms. gle/rCuHLuVUWeKgMhE16 Already about 50 responses, and we look forward to making the final synthesis.

See you soon at MS5,

T-PSY

Hello!

CARING is advancing on all fronts, be it design, engineering or business. We are happy that the project is slowly materializing and we are already getting excited for the journey to China!

However, before that, MS5 is coming and we will be ready!

We wish you all a very nice week!

P.S. here is a little teaser of our database:

Hey there!

This week was sort of fruitful for T-Psy:

• We conducted an interview in La Source in Lausanne, where many shades were unveiled thanks to Mrs Montantdon, Chief Nursing Officer, especially concerning the physical design and the various icons that will be displayed on our screen-buttons. This aspect is important as everyone should be able to understand them on first sight. As the establishment is actually changing their bell devices, she even congratulated us on our product, judging it as a solid concurrent to ones on the market.
• After a long discussion with Raffael, we were able to go forward in our PCB design, giving us hint and know-how on this task, so thank you very much 🙂 !!
• After studying a TV remote by reverse engineering, we were able to get rid of one of our big concern on the design of the screen-button. This shall prove to be easier as it was presented during the last milestone!

Stay tuned!

T-Psy team

Hi everyone,

this week has been pretty quiet for our team as we have worked separtely to prepare for our next interview of Thursday. We have planned a visit at La Source and we believe this interview can help us a lot with the advancement of our project. Indeed, after many previous interviews, we believe the most suitable hospitals for CARING is private hospitals or clinicals. For this reason, we decided to plan a long meeting in order to let us show the physical prototype and receive hopefully valuable feedback.

Keep posted on the next blogpost, we will probably come with new interesting updates!

T-PSY

Hi everyone !

This sunday morning, our team meets to update our team contract.
We were thinking to the future of our project after the trip to China, to our future.

Apart from this, we enjoyed our easter vacation week very much !
We are now ready to go back to work and lead our project to the next Milestone and finally to China !

CaRing is on its way …

Hi everyone,

It all start coming together and this is very motivating!

Since our last blogpost, we have done some work. Maxim, Urbain and Emilie have started a real collaboration and are working well together. Their next challenge is to design the interior of the bell’s shell. The specifications we have set for ourselves are the following ones:

• use less material as possible
• design a shape that produces the cheapest possible mold
• block the PCB in intelligent way
• close the entire object without screws
• integrate a support for the buttons to ensure the durability of the PCB

On the other side, the business needs to get as quick as possible the bill of material to start a real estimation of the product’s price. Camille is as well looking on different ways on how the value proposition could apply to China. Pablo and Morgane work together on the software part to see how display the data.

In addition, we all together continue to do interviews to ensure that we are always on the right track. One week ago, we contacted Patrick Zahnd, director of information system at CHUV, and Ricardo Avenenti, director procurement and biomedical engineering at HUG. Both very interested, they allowed us to make some decisions that required expert’s advices. We will keep trying to see how our business proposition can apply to EMS, we have a meeting planned on next Tuesday with the Director assistant of EMS Pré-Fleuri.

In the MS4, we received some very interesting feedback that opened new questions for our project. We will work on them to clarify some points and come back ready for MS5 !

Happy Easter

TPSY team

Hello everyone!

This week, we have spoken with our supervisor about our prototyping.

We discuss about our buttons ! We want to create interactive buttons with sceen on it.
The best according to the interviews would be an e-ink screen with retro lighting. We are still discussing about creating it ouselve or buy it.

A good thing we are considering to use is a Neopixel which could be very useful for the patient users to have a clear feedback.
Neopixels are in relaity three light with three colours, combined, they are able to make thousends colours !

In parallel, we are comparing the different softwares deddicating to mechanical design: arduino, but also KiCAD or CATIA

To resume, the engineer part is now comparing different choices and chosing the best

Nice week to all of you !

Hi Everyone,

This week we got more into group organisation. We planned our futur meetings until MS4 and we talk again about the idea that we would like to have a moment where each of us explains what does he study and shows maybe one or two projects about that. We also want to go in the thermal baths to have another activity together than working on our project but we still couldn’t find the good moment to do it.  We also planned to talk about our team contract.

Otherwise each of us is working on his own field. Engineers are learning how to interact with the database and how we will communicate between the devices. Designers are refining the design and the visual identity. And our Businesswoman is working on our business model and market studies.

We are very confident about the way our project goes and we realize that our next step will be decisive for the success of our enterprise.

We will keep you in touch of our next advances but until then maybe you should enjoy your weekend and relax a bit.

Kisses from Tpsy Team.

Hi everyone, 

This week was dedicated to feedback for TΨ. And what could be more motivating when they allow us to move forward ! 

Last weekend, our interview with Dominique Truchot-Cardot shed light on the importance of taking into account « silent » data. A very interesting concept that we hadn’t thought of before. 

Subsequently, interviews with members of the care management at EMS Les Pins in Lausanne and the Hospital of Morges also bore fruit. Thanks to them, we were able to target how flexible our interface should be. But also how clear the device must be in order to be understood by older patient. On the industrial design side, we tested our first prototypes to get feedbacks on the size of our product, its hanging system, etc. 

This weekend, marked by MS3, allowed us to realize how much clearer we needed to be about the flow of our data, their security and how our product could be adapted to different hospitals. 

Now, it’s up to us ! 

Stay tuned, 

TΨ

Hi everyone!

MS3 is slowly but steadily approaching and TΨ is getting ready! Last week, prototyping advanced considerably and also a lot of new meetings were fixed. We are going to talk to even more people in healthcare than we did until now, be it people working in hospitals or in care centers for elderly people. Exciting times for TΨ! We have also got access to already existing hospital emergency bells. So we are reverse engineering them in order to understand what are the most interesting features we can keep and which one should be modified.

Furthermore, we have had the chance to celebrate Pablo’s birthday after last week’s meeting. So, the team spirit is high and we’re all motivated to tackle MS3 in the best possible way!

So relax and lay back until you hear the next exciting news from us

TΨ

A little bit of prototyping:

Hello dear friends!

This week was fruitful in many aspects :

Pablo proposed us a great template for the menu displayed, while Emilie presented us the aesthetic and practical possibilities of our device. The engineers team finally managed to choose several components to create our “purely” functional prototype, and also create a great sketch of the database we will provide.

But more importantly, Camille managed to set an appointment next week with a retirement home, where we will directly be able to confront our prototypes to the real world, with patients and caregivers. This only represents a segment of available markets, but it is still a great step forward 🙂 ! We hope that our prototypes will be tested in different establishments later on, such as peculiar services in hospitals, with different user segments and insights!

Stay tuned!

T-Ψ

Hi everyone,

Time is flying but TΨ has done some work this last week !

• Morgane has been worked on some data analysis with RStudio to simulate what kind of reports we could get
• Urbain has looked on the hardware materials and what kind of battery we would need
• Maxim has analyzed different methods of communication we could use between LORA, Wifi, bluetooth…
• Pablo has started the interface, he is starting with Fyrebase to start some testing
• Emilie has looked into the different materials, shapes, colors and so on of the product
• Camille has started a competitor’s analysis to see what features are being put forward and what are the key aspects to keep in mind and has contacted different EMS to see if we could extend our interviews.

Beside our own goals, each member of the team is doing more interviews but this time with patients and for now we are very happy with the first feedback received.

Keep posted !

TΨ

Hello to everyone!

We know that we launch ourselves into the creation of a smart bell to address specific hospital needs. Now, it is time for us to define exactly HOW our solution will deliver what we want it to do in order to guarantee an as high as possible experience for our users (patients and nurses) and have a reliable system for what concerns technology.

This week we had again a remote meeting together to share the progress while business people, designers and engineers tried to address their specific challanges. We will now continue this path. Nevertheless, we need not to forget that exchanging information between all team members is crucial to the successful development of our solution.

We will stay updated and we will update you about the progress that we are making!

TΨ

Hi!

After our MS2 presentation, we learned a lot during this lift-off week-end.

It began with the feedback you CHIC people provided us. Some of them proved to be useful and constructive, as we had not thought about them. Thank you very much 🙂 ! For example, we discovered that wireless communication, which is a crucial aspect of this program, revealed itself as much more complex and vulnerable in term of data.

Talking about data, we would like to highlight the investment of John Fass. He opened our eyes on the sensitive relative between data and ethics, which inspired us about our future design process.

We learned a lot, and now we have to improve several aspects such as:

• Security data
• System vulnerability
• Optimize the user experience scenario
• Risk assessment
• and a coherent team planning

We defined our MVP as a customizable communication system between nurses and patients, with no data management yet.

Let’s get back to work!

T-PSY, unstress your data

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 phone interviews that allows us to have very constructive feedback, and an online questionnaire to have a large number of more direct and spontaneous feedback on our ideas.

Now we are working on our prototype,
Stay tuned,
T-PSY

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 hospitals.

He recently retired early from work due to excess of stress.

We talked with him about our ideas, Pierre was very enthusiastic, he has commented it, he brought possible improvements and even gave us a new idea.

With this interview and some others, we have now a wide range of opinions concerning the work in health care.

Our medical device is on its way …

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 to work in the field of the communication between patient and the medical staff, but we need to find new insights by doing lots of other interviews to find a new solution.

We will have some appointments this week with people form CHUV and La Source but we have to change our interview strategy to find new ideas instead of confirming the old one. We will also speak with the most of people as we can and ask the people that we interviewed before if they can give us the contact of their colleagues so we can discover as much points of view as we can.

This difficult situation is unexpected and very stressful, but we realized also that our idea was good and that we have the capacity to find a new and better idea.

We wish you all good luck for the end of your exams!

TΨ 

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 after these busy weeks and take the stress out.

Here below you will see a short video of our dinner after the meeting!

Have a nice week !

TΨ

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 meeting in comparison with the personal meetings that we are used to. However, it worked out really well and we will reuse it whenever it will show to be necessary. During the meeting, we decided, based on all the feedback we had on our three initial propositions, to only focus on the monitoring and life data transmission to medical personnel in a hospital for example.

Moreover, during this week, we had to submit a little reflexivity essay that is taking into account the human aspect of team work during this first semester of CHIC knowing that this very human aspect is a crucial part of the CHIC experience. In addition to that, everybody had to submit the first ideas that we want to test by building a little first prototype to see how different aspects could turn out. Exciting times are ahead of us.

Don’t get too stressed, relax a bit

TΨ

Hello CHIC community!

We wish you the best for this new year, and hope you are all doing great so far in your studying to achieve your semester. The next months will be the transition between the conceptual and practical aspects of our project, so be sure to not miss it!

To do so after this Christmas break, we will take back our habits regarding the project, starting with a meeting next week, putting on the table the ideas that infused during our heartbreaking separation 🙂

Also best of luck for your exams!!

TΨ

Unstress your data

Hello to everyone!

We hope you had great Christmas dinners with your family and friends and that you are ready for this new exciting 2019 year !

Each member of TΨ is taking some time off during these holidays to come back with full of energy beginning of 2019. We have decided to do new interviews with people in the medical field to test our few ideas and see if we could define more our solutions, then we would meet on the 8th of January to combine our feedback and refine the direction we want to go ahead.

We wish you to spend a great New Year’s Eve, and hope you have already prepared your resolution’s list !

Below you can see another short video of our last meeting at l’ECAL,
See you soon!

Hi to everyone!

This week, we met at ECAL to explore the surroundings in which the two designers of TΨ (Emilie and Pablo) usually work. After an initial tour, we started to work on the continuation of our refinement to be able to converge more easily towards a final solution.

As we decided last week, we concentrated ourselves onto the medical sphere and we have discussed all the different insights that we were able to gather during the last week while conducting interviews with people directly involved in our chosen space. We could finally find three different proposals, which we will refine in the upcoming weeks to be able to present them to doctors, nurses, etc. such that we can get a direct feedback on the utility of the proposed solution. Our three solutions to further explore are:

• Monitor: give nurses a connected device to directly access patients’ data from wherever they are
• Pedometer: count number of steps and promote awareness of the huge work nurses are doing
• Collector: Gather patient’s data (heartbeat, etc.) in an interactive way already in the waiting room

We are looking forward to further developing these issues.

In the meantime, we wish you all Merry Christmas!

TΨ

PS: here you have a little video that shows how we explored ECAL:

Hey Everyone!

This week got off a flying start in Masschallenge, where we were glad to receive more critics about our work. This week has been for us some kind of reset: Indeed, pointed out during the two presentation we did (MS1 and Masschallenge), our opportunity space was not precise enough to start the ideation, yet. During our meeting on Thursday, we also discussed about the problems we had: Miscommunication, opportunity space.. Even though it wasn’t a pleasant time at first, it really helped us to focus ourselves on the work, and start the planning of our holidays.

We then devised regarding our opportunity space: we understood that more interviewed were needed, but oriented towards a specific human space, which the one we started from: People working in the healthcare system (as the study we presented during our MS1). Although it is still not precise, we plan to reduce it according to the insights we gathered. We interviewed, doctors, nurses, patients and will chose a direction from it, once we meet next week.

The past week and this one will act as the refinement of our process until then, to finally start the ideation properly.

Stay tuned!

T-Ψ, Unstress your data

Hi everyone,

After a creative ideation workshop, we had our weekly meeting on Tuesday. Urbain welcomed us to the premises of his association, The Forum, on the EPFL Campus (this is a small advertising for him). We really jumped into the solution part of the CHIC program, shared ideas, and cared a lot about every T-PSY’s member’s opinion.

We realized we were missing some interviews so we took the opportunity of this week to do some additional ones. We also have redefined a little bit our opportunity space, to be more precise than during the Milestone One.

Now we are excited to be part of the MASS-Challenge that will take place on Monday and we hope we will receive some good advices for the project.

Relax your datas.
T-PSY

Hi everybody!

The first Milestone lies now behind us. Between the kick-off weekend in October and last Friday’s milestone, TΨ was able to further explore the opportunity space “Stress”. By implementing the techniques learned during the kick-off weekend, we went out to the world and started to gather information. Our main tool was conducting interviews with all people from different backgrounds, so we talked to professionals, athletes, students, etc. We explored what people think about stress, how stress is affecting them and what they are doing to reduce it. After various discussions and reconsiderations, we decided to focalize our efforts towards young professionals in their twenties and thirties, because they get more easily stressed as they are less experienced than their older co-workers, but we want also to realize something meaningful in a way that those young professionals could benefit on the long term and not develop any negative health effects due to high stress over a long period of their hopefully successful lives. Moreover, we focus also on their workplaces as these spaces often do not provide a relaxing atmosphere and are not very helpful for dealing with stress as we could conclude from our interviews. We would also like to implement some Machine Learning or Data Analysis in our solution, but how we will do this remains up for the future.

We presented the insights we gained and the conclusions we took from it to a jury of professors and our fellow CHIC-participants on Friday during the Milestone 1 event. This was our first experience in pitching our ideas to a public, but it will surely not remain the last one. Now, we will use the constructive feedback we have got to further improve our opportunity space and converge to an optimal solution.

We are now ready for the next step: the Ideation Workshop. In this workshop, we will start to draft an actual solution that can be implemented in our opportunity space.

Keep tuned and relax yourself and your data

TΨ

Dear CHIC members,

This week was pretty fruitful for TΨ:

We gathered various insights to refine our opportunity space, interviewing different kind of people in their own environment. Working as pairs or alone, we managed to discover some aspects of our problematic we didn’t expect. We chose to focus on quality rather than quantity, as we were exploring and collecting some data. Quantity will come later to verify the content we will present to you on MS1.

In order to have a good grasp on everybody’s work, we were all kindly invited yesterday at Camille’s place, where we devised about next interviews and relevant content around a nice dinner.

We reduced our options and therefore improved our opportunity space, with the help of Jagui James, Camille’s cat =(^.^)= !

TΨ

unstress your data!

Hi everyone!

On Monday, we had a pitching workshop with Benedict Stalder (CTI coach) in our usual BC building at EPFL. This evening was really helpful to prepare ourselves for the MS1.

First, we came up with the structure of our pitch: 1. Start with Empathy, 2. Give some facts for credibility, 3. Communicate our progress.

Then, we received some tips to improve it (What is the real goal behind? Who is the audience? What are their takeaways? How to differentiate ourselves from the other teams? …). Finally, we worked on the main objective of the pitch and after 30 minutes of brainstorming and 1 full A4 page of notes, we eventually could describe our goal in one sentence.

On Thursday evening, we had our weekly meeting where we shared our interviews’ findings. We used some post-it in order to get an overview of all information we had collected and do an interactive brainstorming session. Our two mentors were assisting the meeting and gave us good feedback. We also celebrated Maxim’s birthday with a glittery cake made by Urbain, beautiful look and yummy!

To conclude, T-PSY has done lots of things this week but this is just the beginning, more to come… Keep posted!

Unstress your data,

Hi everyone!

Last weekend we had a workshop at EPFL that was about team working and we focused on the difficulties of collaborating with different persons on the same project.

We had for exemple to build the biggest and the beautifulest tower. With we did and we won 😉 We were rewarded with some good chocolates.

Every exercice that we did as a team strengthened our ability to work together. After this weekend we were ready to start working!

On Tuesday we met for our team meeting, and we discussed on the tactic that we will use to progress as much as we can. And we created also the slack group so we can communicate better.

Now we’re on the field to redefine our opportunity space. Interviewing people is our main strategy for that. Let’s see if it’s a good one!

Until our next post, we suggest you relax a bit 😉

T-PSI
un stress your data!

Hi everybody!

This week, on Thursday, we could develop the team spirit needed for a successful (we’re confident) CHIC-project! We went out, mentors included, to try an initial Chinese culinary and cultural immersion. Besides being able to relax and forget about all stress, we shared our beliefs about this exciting project.

On Friday evening and on Saturday, we have participated in the Team Management Workshop. This was a great experience, which enabled us to expand the mutual understanding of each other. In addition to that, we have succesfully built the best-looking and nearly tallest bell tower during a teamwork exercise. In this  way, we have won some delicious chocolate pralines.

Now, we’re ready to get it rollin’!

Hi everybody!

We are the T-Ψ team…

The 28th of October, six students from different fields met up and came up with the idea to help people yo deal with their daily stress.
How did we come up with this ? By identifying :

• Human space : people who are stressed
• Physical space : public transport, working places
• Data space : Data is everywhere
