Project Journey
Week 1
In the first week, we were given time to create a group that consisted of 3-4 members of no more than two people with the same specialization. Following that, we are introduced to our client's project and the weekly plan that we would try to achieve in this module.
The project that we were assigned to is called "Caregiver First Aid". To start, we did some research on patient's with chronic illness, especially Alzheimer's including some draft questions that will be used for the interview.

Week 2
This week we met our client, Dr. Mugilarasi Arasarethinam, and got a more detailed brief of the project, the problem, the target, and our expected solution. To summarize, our group is tasked to create a fast acting solution or tool that helps to relieve issues faced by family caregiver's issues when dealing with their patient.
With a more focused explanation, we changed and refined our questions to focus on getting information and suggestions for the caregiver themselves.

Week 3
As we have refined our interview questions, we then conducted interviews with willing family caregivers about our topic. Each of us conducted one interview with family caregivers of different backgrounds and have received a signed consent from from each of them.
Transcripts for each interview were also made which would later on be used to analyze for findings in our research.

Week 4
We are informed that we also need to include a secondary target group aside from family caregivers. We then chose to focus on professional caregivers, which are caregivers who have had training and are hired for this line of work.
We then extracted important points from each interview transcript to create a list of sticky notes of each interviewee.

Week 5
In this week, we are created our Affinity Diagrams of our target groups. Taking all of the sticky notes and separated them into groups of clustered data. We did this for each of the target groups; family caregivers and professional caregivers.
At this stage, we are also given the time to craft a few problem statements and "How Might We" formulas based on the insights that we have gathered through our data and findings.

Week 6
Moving past our user research, we have started to move towards out ideation stage which involves us to think and craft ideas that could be used as a tool to help our target audience.
As a class exercise, we are utilizing one of the ideation techniques called Crazy 8's. In this method, we take a piece of paper and create eight sections from it (could also be 2 paper into fours for bigger space) and fill up those spaces with eight ideas in 8 minutes.
