Solving wrong problems precisely
“How can we maximize the number of child patient
scans per day while reducing the cost of anesthetizing?”
BEST PRACTICE
General anesthesia should be preferred
in preterm or small children as safety
and success are predictable.
For optimal performance trained,
experienced and certified personnel,
appropriate drugs for the individual patient
risk profile and sufficient monitoring
equipment are essential.

User: Kids with cancer.
Need: Play and have fun. Feel like a normal child.
Insight: Kids participate in everything once they perceive it as an adventure.
“How might we turn MRI scans for children
(fearing »medical treatment«) into an adventure?”

User: Young moms in poor rural areas in developing countries.
Need: Always carry baby close to body equals being a good mother.
Insight:
Low cultural acceptance in many countries to »leave babies alone« (e.g. in incubators).
“How might we create an non-electrical infant
incubator that keeps babies close to mother’s body?”
