Design Process
This page documents the design process utilized for the iterative development of Antidote. We utilized multiple [human-centered] (http://www.designkit.org/methods) within the [Google] (http://www.fastcodesign.com/1672887/how-to-conduct-your-own-google-design-sprint) framework to ground our design approach firmly within the needs of our potential consumers.
In order to understand we:
- Engaged in individual research
- Reviewed the information provided by OpenFDA
- Brainstormed as a team to determine initial direction and to determine survey questions:
- Conducted a user survey, created by the Content Writer (Technical Approach, Criteria 3 & 4) Design Process: A. Initial Survey
- Interviewed survey respondents to dig deeper (Technical Approach, Criteria 3 & 4) Design Process: B. Interviews
- Reviewed interview results for user needs and identified a problem statement:
To generate creative ideas:
- We separated to create sketches of applications that would meet the user needs. (Technical Approach, Criteria 4) Design Process: C. Sketch Activity
- We used our problem statement as a guideline for this work (Technical Approach, Criteria 4)
To determine the most effective approach to meet our users needs:
- We voted on the sketches and chose a winner: https://github.com/Symplicity/antidote/wiki/Iterations#V10
- And combined our top two voted sketches into a design prototype
Our discussion during the decision phase generated an initial version: https://github.com/Symplicity/antidote/wiki/Iterations#V20
We validated our approach by:
- Engaging in user testing of the prototype (Technical Approach, Criteria 3) Design Process: D. Usability Testing for Prototype
- Continuing feedback at after development (Technical Approach, Criteria 3) Design Process: D. Usability Testing for Website and Design Process: D. Usability Testing for Website: Insights
