Feedback Session with Birgit Bachler: Summary and Outcomes
During a feedback session with Birgit Bachler, several key points and directions were outlined for the development of my project. The feedback focused on refining the prototype into a more cohesive and user-friendly solution. Here’s a summary of the main outcomes and the envisioned next steps:
Outcome of the Discussion
The prototype will be transformed into a website that consolidates all the crucial information needed for family caregiving. This website will be complemented by a selfcare subscription box specifically designed for those caring for family members.
Detailed Insights:
Website Prototype:
The website will serve as a central repository of vital information for caregivers.
It will be prototyped as a storyboard with three different ideal caregiving scenarios, each representing a unique caregiving situation: caring for a parent, postpartum care, and caring for a sick child.
The storyboard will illustrate how three different personas interact with the product, providing a clear narrative on accessing and utilizing the information and services offered by the website.
Interaction Flow on the Website:
The website will guide users on how to find relevant information efficiently.
It will detail the process of subscribing to the selfcare box, making it straightforward and user-friendly.
Subscription Box:
The contents of the selfcare box will include support items for mental health, aiming to make the first steps towards selfcare more accessible (though not replacing professional therapy).
The box will also contain products that promote physical health and overall well-being.
Additionally, it will include guides, newsletters (featuring updates on self-help groups and new legal regulations), and games or activity suggestions for engaging with the care recipient.
Conclusion
The feedback from Birgit Bachler has provided clear direction for enhancing the project. The integration of a comprehensive informational website with a thoughtfully curated selfcare subscription box aims to provide holistic support for family caregivers. This approach not only addresses the practical aspects of caregiving but also supports the emotional and mental well-being of caregivers.
