Include the following in your Week 2 journal entry:
- Describe one technology trend that has led to innovation in the Health industry, specifically in relation to the elderly.
I researched about how to provide a quick and safe diagnostic elderly people who suffers diabetes. Many companies offer efficient diabetes monitoring devices with a friendly interface. Frequently, these technologic devices require knowledge and skills that seniors do not have. This trend approaches their autonomy.
- Document how you intend to work with your partner to complete the Design Thinking Project including:
Jayden and I have planned to meet up every Tuesday at 11 am until we have finished our pitch. Also, we are communicating about the assignments development, by phone, email and Facebook. Communication is an essential point that we are aware because this Design Thinking Project will require commitment from both of us.
We have decided that we both should keep copies of our work on our laptops. Also, we transfer our work by email, Facebook messages (not often) and USB device. We should ensure that keeping many copies of our work is a safe way to succeed in our pitch presentation.

- Comment on your experience of the d.school crash course. For example, highlight which parts you found challenging and which ones were easy, describe which aspects you enjoyed and which took you outside of your comfort zone...
At first, I found a bit hard to interview him because I am very shy. However, this tool helped to break the ice between Jayden and myself. Further, it was very helpful to know each other better. Jayden was very friendly and accessible. We did some sketches that helped gave us a big picture about each other. The part that took me out of my comfort zone was answering very personal questions and concerns to someone that I did not know. It was a bit hard sharing such personal concerns, but he was very friendly. After doing that, I felt more confident with him.
