3. My choices of concept direction and why I selected it

I actually made my decision this summer. I know very clearly about what I want to do for my senior thesis -- IoT and healthcare. And by coincidence, I talked to Liam, who is the CEO of Adelie health, I decided to collaborate with this awesome team.

- Why healthcare?
I have tried a lot of fields -- education, cloud computer networking, housing, social networking... But I know there is one field, i always want to try and explore, it's healthcare. My mom had cancer a few years ago, so i know i want to contribute to this industry by my effort.

- Why collaborating with Adelie health?
If I can create something for other people in real life instead of create something for myself at school. I will definitely choose the first option. Design can make impact for people's real life, and this is what I am proud of as a designer :)

4. Next steps in my research

1. Sync up wth Liam
2. Q&A based on the research they had
3. Market research and secondary research
4. Recruit interviewees
5. Primary research

5. What the process was like

Once I know who their customer profiles are, I can start doing research based on my and the team's expectations.
Looking forward to collaborating with them!
