BRAINSTORM BRAINSTORM SESSIONS As a team we brainstormed a few ideas around sharing knowledge. At the end of the brainstorming we had four different main topics: health, pets, community and education. However we wanted to narrow down the four topics to one. First, we started removing some sub-topics based on their potential opportunities (red ocean and blue ocean) and feasibility.

First, we started removing some sub-topics based on their potential opportunities (red ocean and blue ocean) and feasibility. At the end of the process we found that Education was the main topic in which we saw more opportunities. To link each sub-topics to education we asked ourself “how can we design for bridging gaps�.

BRAINSTORM BRAINSTORM TAKE WAYS

The main take aways of the brainstorming process were three sub-topics under one main topic: Educating. The three sub-topics are preparing for emergencies, preserving memories and preventing mentality. To narrow down each sub-topic we create a more specified statement which helped us identifying opportunity spaces with a 2x2 matrix, and Porter’s 5 method.

PREPARING FOR EMERGENCIES

The total natural disasters reported each year has been steadily increasing in recent decades. These disasters include droughts, tsunamis, hurricanes, typhoons and floods. Natural hazards like earthquakes and extreme weather events are beyond human control, but we can keep them from turning into full-fledged disasters by reducing the vulnerability of populations.

Governments and international organizations should start paying serious attention to studies showing the importance of disaster preparedness. Great disasters attract a lot of media attention, but prevention and preparedness get almost none.

PRESERVING MEMORIES

The dead are becoming increasingly present in cyber space. For example, in 2012 the number of “dead” profiles on Facebook was estimated to be increasing at a rate of 19,000 daily (Death Reference Desk 2012). Sometime by the end of the century, depending on Facebook’s user growth rate, the dead profiles are even expected to exceed the number of living user profiles (Brown 2016), thereby creating a form of “digital graveyard” (Ambrosino 2016). This development opens up new opportunities for commercial enterprises to monetise the digital afterlife of departed Internet users. But it also poses some severe challenges regarding the ethical status of such data.

PREVENTING MENTALITY

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development. Often the dissatisfaction in healthcare is that we’re not being treated as human beings. Some of the hospitals with the most effective treatment of diseases have the least satisfied patients. Treating people effectively doesn’t mean that people are happy.

The uncertain state of the world is having clear consequences for individual health. We can see in the headlines everyday: Kids paralyzed by anxiety. Suicides by gun. Addiction to opioids. We live in the most technologically connected times, yet our rates of loneliness are increasing. If we dig deep, the common root is an absence of emotional and mental well-being - the sense of inner well-being that is necessary for our survival as humans.

PREPARING FOR DEATH

Death is a topic that is relevant to us all, and yet it simply isn’t pleasant to talk about. The first part of preparation for death is to prepare ourselves and people close to us.

Dying is a very personal experience, and the level of stress related to death will vary radically from individual to individual.

The process may be very quick or happen gradually. However, preparing for this moment is important has become essential, as not being afraid to talk about it.

At the moment about one million people die each week around the world; within 40 years, that number is expected to double. Dissatisfaction with legacy service providers and striking shifts in demographics have converged to make alternative ways of dealing with death – that universal experience – in demand. Thus, as designers, we must help with creating meaning to guide people through that time.

SECONDARY SECONDARY RESEARCH

OVERCOME MOURNING PROCESS

Grief is a natural response to loss. It’s the emotional suffering we feel when someone you love is taken away. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming. We may experience all kinds of difficult and unexpected emotions, from shock or anger to disbelief, guilt, and profound sadness.

The pain of grief can also disrupt our physical health, making it difficult to sleep, eat, or even think straight. These are normal reactions to loss, and the more significant the loss, the more intense the grief will be. Since the beginning of time, mourning rituals and symbols have helped people deal with the loss of a loved one. As designers, we can help to facilitate the mourning process by designing meaningful rituals and symbols to overcome this moment.

Intimations of mortality have reached major corporations like Google, Facebook and Microsoft, which are catching up with the fact that their users, whose intimate secrets and social lives they now participate in, don’t live forever.

Despite its complexity, the process of digital life after death is an issue that urgently needs design intervention.

As designers, we can facilitate a smooth digital end-of-life experience, and how future generations may be able to access the digital memories captured in our photographs, tweets and myriad bits and bytes of mementos.

PROBLEM STATEMENT SCOPE OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT FIVE W’S

CREATIVE E BRIEF CREATIVE BRIEF

During our waking hours, we are more likely concerned with privacy and security as the current problems of living with the Internet. But the more time we spend online, the more we scatter pieces of ourselves around the web that together form pictures of our real lives, identities, tastes, preferences, habits, and opinions.

It’s a concept many of us don’t give much thought to yet, but what happens when you die in this world and the virtual parts of you go on existing?

At the moment about one million people die each week around the world; within 40 years, that number is expected to double. Thus, the dead are becoming increasingly present in cyberspace, as their data remains on the web. For example, sometimes by the end of the century, depending on Facebook’s user growth rate, the dead profiles are even expected to exceed the number of living user profiles (Brown 2016), thereby creating a form of “digital graveyard” (Ambrosino 2016).

PROBLEM STATEMENT After choosing topic through design matrix, we defined our problem statement for afterlife data management.

This development opens up new opportunities for commercial enterprises to monetize the digital afterlife of departed Internet users. But it also poses some severe challenges regarding the ethical status of such data. Digital Data afterlife is a concept many of us don’t give much thought to yet, but what happens to the data you leave behind? And who are the gatekeepers to your internet afterlife?

Digital Data afterlife opens up a new market and so new alternatives ways of dealing with digital data.

CREATIVE E BRIEF CREATIVE BRIEF

WHO

For people who are more likely to spend time and money on digital assets rather than physical media

WHAT A digital afterlife system that allows people to preserve data and share memories of friends and family who have passed away

WHY Preserving one’s digital afterlife creates a dual opportunity that exists to reflect and receive: one can preserve data and memories while simultaneously taking comfort in the stories and support that ricochet back

FIVE W’S The Five Ws includes who, what, why, where and when. We questions them to get answers basic information for the problem solving.

SCOPE

OPPORTUNITY STATEMENT

The focus of this project is to identify the current role of digital data in people’s lives and to explore new ways for reimaging their experience with data after death.

The process of managing digital data afterlife is an issue that shows a opportunity for design intervention. We have the opportunity to incorporate people’s passions, relationships, and spirituality to create a more human centered afterlife experience for ourselves and loved ones.

Online policies don’t provide enough to the users

Collaborate with government to increase policies to actually touch these digital problems

I need my clients to approach me before its too late to act

Digital companies must take this more seriously in the future because right now in the US, as a lawyer, is very difficult

Provide a better experience to my clients

DESIGN STUDIO DESIGN STUDIO

As part of design studio, we started by sketching all the possible screens we might need to fulfill the user scenario we created previously. Initially we start sketching as individual and putting down ideas based on the user scenarios. Later, as a team, we then made sense of the user flow by combing the wireframe sketches and creating a cohesive app experience.

CARD SORTING CARD SORTING

As a way to determine relevance of information in our platform, the card sorting method was used to identify the key categories. These categories would help our platform to understand the user needs better and pair them with most relevant ones.

PROTOTYPE LOW FIDELITY PROTOTYPE

After defining our brand identity, we went back to your app and developed low fidelity prototype.
