Determine top three incapacitating health emergencies

Step ONE
Research characteristic symptoms and the requirements of each one of them
Step TWO
Build a Needs Cluster MatrixStep THREE
“This strategy looks to create an intersect ion between customer requirements (what they want / need) and customer behavioral modes (how they go about gett ing what they want / need) . . . Needs c lusters ident i fy a gap in the market, an opportunity to serve customers in a d ist inct ive, new way.”

53 yr old Roy is a successful public relations executive. He spends 11 hours a day at work and comes home home to three teenagers and his wife of 27 yrs. Roy has been a smoker for 20+ years and lives a sedentary lifestyle. Roy has recently started experiencing a frequent sharp pain in his chest and arm. They have been suttle attacks, so he does not think seeking help from a doctor is necessary.
Annie is a 35 yr old elementary school teacher. She was diagnosed with epilepsy when she was 8 yrs old. TAnnie’s seizures have been inscreasinly getting worse. Annie has noticed that her body sends warning signals or “auras” just before having a seizure. In her case, everything starts with a flashlight on one of her eyes that increases until making her completely blind after 20-25 seconds. Her aura is short in comparison to other cases, but atleast she has some warning. Although It has been 3 years since her last seizure, Annie is still always cautious about listening to her body.
Jen is a 28 year old, High School English Teacher and the proud mother of two boys, Austin and Tucker. She has Sever Asthma. She was diagnosed at the age of 3 when her parents found her in her bed not breathing. The doctors were able to confirm after extensive testing that Jen’s Asthma is brought on by pollen.Jen takes precaution daily by not allowing her children to have pets, get-ting allergy shots, and by carrying her inhaler in her purse. However even though she takes precautions, during high pollen season’s she does have occasional Asthma Attacks.

Users are conscius abouttheir medical conditions
Often text and talkon the cellphone
They spend a lot of timejust driving
Family is concernedabout them
Some of them monitortheir health at home or using an app.
Family learn warningsymptoms
There is an important relationbetween cellphones and cars
Mobile applications on healthare well received by most ofusers when they know aboutthem
Automobile are developing new technologies but notusing a systemic approach.
Medical records are importantfor the patients but missed by these technologies.
The constant communicationwith the family is important for the users.
Users that had a bad experience while driving couldhave panic attacks in the future if they drive again
Automobile should take advantage of the system is already being used to synchronize music and making callsand use them to monitor andwarn.
Cars should have a built-in system to sense vital signs.
Service Design approach could benefit to establisha system of touchpointsto help the users to improvetheir quality of life.
It’s vital for the users feel theyhave more control in crisisbehind the wheel.
Connect the touchpointsby developing a sensorsystem network usingthe devices the user interactin his/her everyday life besides the car.
Empower the user with a programmable applicationthat fits her/his profile.
Rebrand the driving experience

She gets into the car and start her journey to her mom’s place. She is not very focused and is still thinking about the conversation with Nick, her husband. Suddenly a light starts flashing on the screen of the car but, she can’t see it. You can hear her breathing and she can’t help start coughing.

Jen is a 28 year old, High School
English Teacher and the proud
mother of two boys, Austin and
Tucker. She has Sever Asthma. She
was diagnosed at the age of 3
when her parents found her in her
bed not breathing. The doctors
were able to confirm after exten-
sive testing that Jen’s Asthma is
brought on by pollen.
Jen takes precaution daily by not
allowing her children to have pets,
getting allergy shots, and by carry-
ing her inhaler in her purse. How-
ever even though she takes pre-
cautions, during high pollen
season’s she does have occasional
Asthma Attacks.
Jen has had a long day at work and is ready to go home. Before that she needs to pick up Austin. He spends the afternoons with his grandma who lives 10 miles away.
She is talking to her husband by the phone but she gets stressed after the conversa-tion. After hanging up she sees an alarm in her phone about her level of stress and respiration rate, but she dismiss it.

Beth, the automobile health system in her car starts a passive conversation. Beth shows in the screen the vital signs of Jen and recommend her to pull over. Even Jen is feeling bad she doesn’t agree, she thinks: Beth I am very close to my mom’s. I am ok. She coughs more and more and her vision gets blurry and now is not only difficult to breathe but to see the road. Beth sense her levels of anxiety increasing and takes control of the car. Jen is almost unconscious. Beth pulls over and call Jen’s mom.

Jen now is waiting for the attack to go away. After a couple of minutes she is feeling better but not sure to start driving again, so that’s why ask Beth to take her home.
