Biogen Inc. is an American multinational biotechnology company based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, specializing in the discovery, development, and delivery of therapies for the treatment of neurological diseases to patients worldwide.
Project overview
As part of the long project (capstone) during my exchange semeter at L'ecole de Design, I woked in a team of 3 working under the guidance of experts from the company in the field of Multiple Sclerosis to learn about the area and come up with possible design solutions.
During this time I learned about what neurological diseases are, what is Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and how it affects not just the patient's life but also their caregivers. We conducted both secondary and primary research by reading through online materials and channels for MS and interviews with patients & their caregivers.
The project was divided into three phases:
Phase 1 - Understanding the space & coming up with intervention areas
Phase 2 - Conceptualising three areas of design conecpts
Phase 3 - Detailing the final concept
