Day 1
It was very interesting meeting the patients that we will be working with over the next two weeks. Listening to personal accounts of living with diseases is different than reading about the diseases and hearing their stories presented design challenges that I never would have considered. The obstacles these patients face when using the new technology is enlightening because these are challenges that could be overlooked or prioritized lower in the design process. I think the personal health goal design challenge will be beneficial from an engineering standpoint because it presents a problem that is very applicable to our own lives. The process I go through to help my partner could probably be applied to my own life as well to make personal healthy lifestyle changes as well.
