EVENT ABSTRACT REGISTRATION

What if healthcare moved from the hospital to the home? As the cost of hospital care becomes unaffordable, bringing institutional care to the home will become a reality soon. The “Care@Home” Design Thinking Challenge 2015 is the culmination of creative ideas generated from value creation and an in-depth understanding of challenges faced in monitoring and delivering rehabilitation, chronic disease, disability and geriatric care. With the rise of wearable sensors; telemedicine, home automation, robotics, lab-on-a-chip, big data and point-of-care testing, technology plays an all-encompassing role in healthcare ranging from clinical consultations to diagnostics to assisting individuals with chronic conditions so that they can stay independent. There is tremendous potential to leverage technologies that improve activities of daily living or devices that are simply designed to be operated by the patients for monitoring or treatment of various chronic medical conditions. This Design Thinking Challenge invites A*STAR researchers to participate and contribute interesting and novel product ideas and solutions for the next generation Care@Home environment. At a three-day brainstorming session post kick off, you will meet leading healthcare providers and industrial designers in a Design Ideation Bootcamp held on 12-14 May 2015 to generate serious momentum for this national imperative. FIRST STAGE: • We are looking for intensely passionate, creative teams comprising of at least two individuals to create products and undertake the programme, including three full days of design thinking bootcamp! • The teams would work closely with industrial designers to iterate and validate the product idea, and to win over a panel of in-house judges on 8th July at ETPL. • The top 10 ideas selected would be funded to do a functional showcase prototype supported by industrial designers. SECOND STAGE: • Successful teams will undergo a market validation workshop to understand how to pivot the problem to customer needs. • Final presentations of the 10 teams will be on 4th November 2015 at Media Exploits. • Researchers will have the opportunity to meet venture capitalists, industry partners, multinational corporations and entrepreneurs, to commercialize products for market launch.
