Key features
User study
We as a group did some research on epilepsy and epileptic seizures, interviewed the Swedish Epilepsy Association at its head office in Stockholm. And we have did a competitor research.
Unfortunately, no epilepsy organization replied our request of interviewing real epilepsy patients so due to the time limit, we didn’t have chance to do further user interviews.
Personas & STORYbOARD
Based on the data we collected from the previous study, we started to analysis behaviour variables, tried to find patterns in the group of people and synthesize the characters.
Sketch
Started to do sketch and explore possibilities.
We had a brainstorming session to come up with different wearable technologies. And then vote for the best one.

Paper Prototyping
Concept Mockups & User based test
By using Sketch 3, the high-fidelity interactive prototypes were built which are shown below.
Smart Watch Application
Smart Phone Application
User-based Evaluation
Then, we did a user based evaluation to evaluate the usability functions and features of this application.
We prepared 6 questions, tested our product with 6 participants, and asked them to do 7 tasks.
Final Prototype
From the result of the previous evaluation, we improved our prototype.
