As this project must be done within 2 weeks, I did not thought much about it. I just gathered a moodboard and go with it. The topic I chose was, "App for visual/ hearing impairment". So the prototype WILL be about helping those with visual and hearing disability.

​

Key Demographic :
Age range : 8 - 80
Gender :  50% male, 50% female
Common Job title : Visual/Hearing impaired patients, Volunteers, Welfare Agencies, Family members

​

Key Psychographics :
Values relationships where others treat each other as equals
Dislike working with ignorant people, tasks that are not possible due to diseases, macular degeneration, cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

Dislike working with people who shout at them, due to medical condition, such as childhood infections, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, meningitis, acoustic neuroma Etc.

​

Challenges :
Training volunteers and patients with impaired hearing/eyesight to use the app can be a great challenge. Since most of them will have problem navigating through the app, the app must look easy to use with huge text that won’t hinder with their fingers or thumbs.
Kinesthetic patterns(Device Orientation, Device Gesturing, User Movement, User proximity, Other device proximity) can be hard to grasp for visually impaired or sound impaired patients. Since they are either not able to hear, or not able to see properly.
Some patients have low self-esteem and so does not want to use mobile device.

​

Thus it is important that I make use of GPS, Device Orientation, Haptic Feedback, and more.
