What I design
Innovation & Strategy Consultant


As an Innovation & Strategy Consultant I have had the opportunity to work hand in hand and help some of the most important companies in the IBEX 35.
I have carried out strategic, open innovation and business design projects applying different design and agile methodologies.


Gure.
Your mental ally
The pupose of the project “Gure”, which was my Master’s Thesis, was to analyse the difficulties in accessing treatment for depression and anxiety disorders.





What I design
1 Research based on verified sources
These are the main key factors that were crucial for the project’s success:
After Covid-19, the following increases were detected: 27,6% for major depressive disorder cases 25,6% for anxiety disorder cases
According to the WHO, mental health will be the leading cause of illness in the world by 2030. During the period of confinement, 65% of the Spanish population manifested anxiety and depressive disorder symptoms. It is estimated that 1 in every 4 people will have a mental health disorder in their lifetime.
The most affected social group was young people in the range of 20-24 years.
Public Healthcare in Spain:
- There are 5 psychologists per 100,000 inhabitants
- Waiting times for a consultation vary between 26 and 71 days
Private Healthcare: A consultation costs between 50€ and 100€

RELEVANCE FOR THE PROJECT
What I design Problem identification
Phase 1: Discover
3 Interviews with stakeholders
These were the interviewed profiles:
Medical specialists working in the public and private healthcare system
Recently graduated healthcare specialists
Patients attending both the public and private healthcare system
These were the main conclusions:
Insufficient public psychological resources with a growing demand for them
The costs of private care are too high for a large part of the population
Recent graduates have serious problems in accesing the labour market due to the need for experience, which is often difficult to acquier

4 Generation of uncertainty scenarios
Signal for change A: accelerating digitalisation and increasement of the use of mobile applications/digital platforms in the healthcare environment
Signal for change B: increase in the number of patients with mental health problems (anxiety and depression)
Growing caseload trend
The current healthcare system does not meet the needs of the citizens with mental health conditions and requires alternatives to ensure access to treatments for all patients
Digitisation 0%

Digitisation 100%
Thanks to digitalisation and the use of digital health platforms, access to treatment is provided and there are less cases of patientes with mental health problems who are not supervised and under the control of a specialist

To offer a new treatment method to those users with anxiety and depression disorders, in an age range of 18 to 30, who do not have their needs covered by the public healthcare system and do not have access to a private consultation because of economic reasons or due to the lack of availability of specialists.

9 Economic feasibility analysis
After carrying out a business model canvas and an exaustive economic feasibility analysis, the stablished price for the first version was 25€. It is a competitive and coherent price considering that a private psychologist’s consultation in Spain ranges between 50€ and 100€

Generation of wireframes, mockups and frames in order to build a first prototype to be tested.


11-12 Testing and Iteration
The prototype was tested with more than 10 potential users. Insights from the test were collected, analysed and prioritised for the subsequent implementation of changes and improvements for the next version of the solution.


What I design
Accessible. Coherent. Simple.
Your new access to psychological treatment is here. The tool with which you can take care of your mental heatlh on a daily basis, without having to wait and at an affordable price.
Take care of you, or let us do it for you.

What I design
Gazelle.
Your new way of transport
The purpose of the project “Gazelle” was to improve the last 100 meters in the use of electric scooters. We understand those last meters as the circumstances where we have finished using the product and we have to transport and deal with it.


What I design Analysis
Usage environment:
We studied the urban environment in the city of San Sebastian. We got to realise the difference between the users and the non-users, and concluded that:
- Elderly people think scooters can be dangerous
- The performance depends on the type of path
- The number of bicycles is much larger

Field research:
We decided to apply the following techniques:
- Shadowing
- Interviews
- Day in a life
The user:
We carried out an ethnographic research to understand how the user interacts with the urban environment. The final user was considered to be someone who is going to use the electric scooter everyday on the way to work.
Define
How might we...
...improve the fluency in the on/off interactions between the product, the user and the environment so that the electric scooter goes from being a simple way of transport to becoming a personal tool?

What I design Development
The developement process followed these steps:
- Brainstorming

- Value proposition canvas
- Sketching
- 3D Modelling
- Prototyping
- Rendering
Once we analyzed a great number of options and ideas, we reached the conclusion of redesigning the first scooter that we analyzed. We focused the new product on 3 different improved aspects.

The first one would be the folding system. Aware of the need for an easier and effortless mechanism, we decided to fold the scooter with the foot. The second, the hitch to maintain the product folded. We did not want the folding process to involve using the hands (to keep them clean) at any point. Therefore, we thought to implement a “snaploc” system.
The third and last was the handlebar. We combined an ergonomic shape with an aesthetic design. With this new implementation, the user would be able to transport the scooter like a suitcase.

What I design
Ergonomic. Intuitive. Sophisticated.
Stop thinking about what to do with your scooter when you are not riding it: ‘Gazelle’ will adapt to you. An ergonomic handlebar, an easy and intuitive folding system, and a safe hitch to ensure the best user experience.
Ride the streets, forget about everything else.
