Research
The research involved interviews and surveys with over 50 healthcare professionals and 200 individuals affected by UTIs. This approach provided both quantitative and qualitative data on user needs and behaviors related to UTIs and antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The insights gained were crucial for shaping the strategic approach and design considerations for addressing these health issues effectively.

The Game
To engage players effectively, we designed bold content for the red cards, featuring versatile sentences and including familiar celebrities. The blue cards illustrate key terms with graphics and cover diseases and conditions like UTIs, bacteria, gonorrhea, and herpes. Players can scan QR codes on blue cards for more information. Additionally, special cards introduce interactive activities like making sounds, movements, and answering personal questions, ensuring the game remains engaging and dynamic.

Zizi, the voice assistant
Funny, bold and fearless to talk about tabus
Modern yet retro inspired
Let's discuss how a voice assistant renders this experience even more immersive. We designed two main interactions where players must use the voice assistant and two optional side interactions. These voice interactions will make you speak out loud about a given topic. On the other hand, the VA will share unexpected bold answers.Genderless & inclusive
How was the prototyping phase?
Through iterative improvements driven by user testing feedback, we enhanced our product significantly. We addressed volume issues by adding an amplifier and larger speaker for better audio output, introduced audio-visual cues for keyword understanding, and optimized the voice to reflect our virtual assistant's genderless personality, improving overall user experience.
