Process Journal: Conceptualize It Team OnSpyre collected video stories of real-life accidents and near-misses and developed a story board to illustrate the importance of the unmet need. We ran our solution concept by field personnel who gave us valuable feedback. We collected written and video field feedback confirming the need, learning about “deal breakers” and getting input on features to make PPE smarter but also more comfortable. We worked on 3D modeling as well as building a mockup with integrated EEG and mock modulation, which we photographed and video-recorded. Finally, we also developed illustrative wireframe screens for the companion app. With these visual aides, we intend to build an effective narrative for the “why” and illustrate the solution in a tangible way. This is even more critical for us because we are dealing with a niche area that is foreign to most people. However, everyone can relate to wanting to come home in one piece, if there is a greater appreciation for some of the dangers that these construction/utility workers can face. Having a project manager to keep us on scope and time was very helpful and leaning on and trusting business, design and technical expertise of each lead was helpful. However, there were opportunities for criss-crossing and collaboration, learning and sharing talents that go beyond the silos. @shannondseeger @warren-usc
