Overview Problem Identification Students vs. the world Needs Leverage education, provide insight Concept Generation First Prototype Define metrics Test, feedback, iteration Problem Needs Concept generation First prototype Test, feedback 4. ExpectationThere must be an intuitive place tostart, right?Problem 5. reality 6. Problem SourcesInherent complexityEngineering education Institution limitationsProblem biodesign.stanford.edu 7. Engineers vs. the WorldLittle scaffolding for Significant human factorshuman-centered designconsiderations AnalyticalSocial, quality of life value difficult to quantifyMisconceptionsHighly dynamicChallenging enough in Generally internationalthe same room collaborationsProblem 8. Problem StatementDespite growing interest and opportunities in globalhealth design, there is a disconnect between youngengineers educations and the expertise required todesign a successful global health technology.Problem 9. Needs screening Allow students to understand the space in whichthey are designing Encourage good design Improve outcomes EducateNeeds 10.
