T1Y2 : Week8 In conclusion
Let’s have a look for a feedback
7539QCA : Design research method
Marking comes up before class start !
This week is about to develop a research report into the right track in order to submit due to week 12 submission. However, before we moving forward let’s take a look through a feedback to revise the bullet point of research report.
So far so good, but need to practice, practice and practice for more in term of verbal presentation !
Revision phase 1
- research question — can be reworded
research question draft 1 : “ How can product design increase motivation of aquatic activities for elderly people”
research question draft 2 : “ How can the design of supportive design encourage participation in aquatic activites, in supporting physical health within elderly population ?”
- detail of methodology
Focus group specifically
total participations
- criteria of case studies
product identity
function
process
- significance
Then i found very useful research which provided about the beneficial of aquatic activities for elderly people.
What else ? — Case study
Before i going to have a meeting with my supervisor, i might need to pick up some useful case study to discuss about the direction of my design prototyping.
Rehabilitative and assistive product designs have made some progress in terms of functionality and accessibility in recent years, but the current need for at-home rehabilitative designs cannot be understated. While physical therapy is recommended for anyone who’d like to restore their natural mobility, stroke patients in particular benefit from a tailored rehabilitative program. Rehap from Ka Man Choi is a wearable rehabilitative tool designed to aid stroke survivors in relearning basic muscle movements even in the comfort of their own homes.

Next step !
- Focus group interviewing
- observation
- sketch and design
Cheers !
