#workshopwrapup We had an insightful session on User-Centered Problem Solving with Nicola Filzmoser, where we delved deep into the concept of #designthinking, the lean startup method, the #value proposition canvas, and so much more. Design thinking isn't just a buzzword – it's a critical process for solving complex healthcare challenges. Here are some key takeaways from Divij Kinger, co-founder of MilkyV from the #cohort7: 👉 What is Uncertainty? Uncertainty is the unknown factors and risks that can affect the success of our projects. It’s the gap between what we know and what we need to know to make informed decisions. 👉 How Do You Measure Uncertainty? Measuring uncertainty involves identifying the unknowns and quantifying them as much as possible. This means breaking down the problem into smaller, measurable components and using metrics to assess each one. 👉 What Metrics Can You Bring In? Metrics such as user feedback scores, usability test results, and engagement analytics can help quantify uncertainty. These metrics provide tangible data that can be analyzed to better understand user needs and pain points. Key Learning: “What can be measured can be fixed.” This powerful insight resonated with everyone. Coming from a lab background, Divij emphasized the importance of measurable data in problem-solving. By identifying and quantifying uncertainties, we can take concrete steps to address them. This session reminded us that embracing uncertainty and measuring it diligently can lead to actionable insights and impactful solutions. Let's continue to seek out the unknowns, measure them, and innovate with confidence! How do you measure and manage uncertainty in your projects?

#mondayinspiration: Learning What Customers Really Want "We must learn what customers really want, not what they say they want or what we think they should want." – Eric Ries, author of Lean Startup book As our teams dive into the first phase of our #incubator program, they are focusing on #desirability. The next two weeks, they’ll be engaging in #usercentricdesign and #userneeds workshops to truly understand and empathize with their future users. The goal? To listen deeply, observe carefully, and design solutions that genuinely resonate with the people they aim to help. Here's to a week of insightful discoveries and meaningful innovation! What’s one surprising insight you’ve gained from truly listening to your customers? Share your experiences and let’s learn together! #mondaymorning #leanstartup #ux #uxdesign #humancentereddesign #visionhealthpioneersincubator #desirability #berlinerstartupstipendum #berlinstartup #startuplife #innovation #leanstartupmethod #learn #iterate

#weekendread We are proud to share that our design thinking coach, Nicola Filzmoser, has just had her insightful paper published in BMC Neurology, part of the Springer Nature Group! Her research dives into the intricate link between migraine self-management and emotional well-being, showcasing the incredible power of innovation through design thinking. Nicola’s journey is a fantastic example of how to turn research into real-world impact. She started by thoroughly researching the problem, understanding the pain points of those dealing with migraines, and evaluating the current solutions. Now, she’s taking those insights and transforming them into actionable ideas, prototypes, and potentially business solutions. It's inspiring to see how Nicola is turning knowledge into tangible change, and we can't wait to see where her work leads next. You can read her insights 👇 https://lnkd.in/dgxpw_CV) Check out the full paper in the comments below. #innovation #designthinking #healthcare #researchtoaction #visionhealthpioneersincubator #mentalhealth #migraine #anxietyintervention #berlinerstartupstipendum #designthinkong
