Suddenly We See

Suddenly we see what we want it to be. In the past 2 weeks we started being able to conceptualize our product; 

Functions

Our ideal product would have a sensor to monitor reps the start and finish of the training, a trigger that would signal to patients to start training, keep them engaged and give feedback, and the biggest dream would be a product that mimicks the resistance physical therapy training objects provide the patient. 

Metaphor

Do we make the object familiar by modeling it according to classical workout equiptment like balls, elastic bands, weights? Will it be cute, cool, sporty, intrusive or not?

Values

1. limited and essential selection of exercises 

2. availability and accessibility 

3. Interpersonal interaction

4. helpful guidance

Experience: 

The user lets their physical therapist select exercises. The system encourages the patient to start their training session with a trigger. While the user is training the system collects information and gives the user feedback about their pain levels and training. The user uses the system to summarize their session. The training closes with the system reinforcing the user’s efforts to create an immediate sensation of improvement.
