The RMCIL Process
-
The first step is the recognition of an unmet need. We spend time observing, creating empathy for our patients, families, and clinical staff.
-
After identifying relevant unmet needs, we begin researching for the basic constituents of our challenge:
-
Population - this must be described as accurate as possible, including incidence, persona, patient journey, etc.
-
Problem - what is it exactly that we are trying to solve?
-
Solution - if solved, what change would our tool bring about? What impact will it have?
-
Brainstorming for solutions. At the first phase, any idea for potentially bridging the gap is welcome. Later, we combine some of the craziest ideas in forming what may become a viable, groundbreaking, technical solution. This includes concept design, based on user experience and "design thinking".
-
At this stage, we build the framework for a future company, bringing together the necessary pieces of the puzzle in-house, while maintaining a connection to the hospital for future learning, reiterative design and clinical testing.
