Info
Sharecare is a digital solution for patients and their caregivers. My L’école de Design Nantes Atlantique team partnered with Biogen France to create a product to ease life of patients and their caregivers with a special emphasis on multiple sclerosis. We conducted research on motivations, needs, problems pain points, and practices in the daily life of caregivers, consolidated them into key insights, and created personas & mapped their journeys to guide our ideation.
We envisioned a new ecosystem that consists of a mobile application and a smart wearable device — eNecklace. We believe it helps to automatise routine tasks, ensure safety, reduce stress and bring families closer together

Challenges
Conducting research and creating a product in the field of medical design was a challenging task for us. We acquired ourselves with a completely new topic in a span of three weeks, identified problem and proposed our solution. Two representatives of BIOGEN supervised our project. They provided our team with insights about the practical application of digital technologies in the medical field.
As a caregiver I want to save time and automatise my daily duties.
eNecklace is a wearable smart jewellery device. It notifies a patient of every reminder a caregiver has set up on the phone with light and vibration.
