How We Did Our Design-a-thon

2. Confidential – © 2016 Ayogo Health Inc.
Welcome
Welcome to the first annual Ayogo Design-A-Thon. An exciting exercise in creativity, co-operation,
innovation, and, of course, design!
Your goal is to work as a team to cook-up a design and pitch your solution to a panel of judges
who, like VCs, will decide how to allocate their prize capital once they’ve sampled each team’s
submission.
Each team has been hand-picked to have a rounded skillset and we’ve ensured an even playing-
field because you all start with nothing but the phones in your pockets.
Your team has been given [$1400] design bucks to buy the supplies you need throughout the
day. Your first stop is the Ayogo Analogue Shop. In this shop you’ll find pencils, pens, whiteboard
markers, post-it notes, workbooks, and various other basic supplies. In this shop you’ll also find a
very important item that your team has to buy: a problem!
There are three problems submitted to the design-a-thon and your team must purchase one in
order to participate in the competition.

Problem #1:
Get Patients To Return
My patients don’t come back!
My name is Bernard Blunderson and I’m a Certified Diabetes Educator. I work in a small
neighbourhood clinic associated with a larger healthcare organization. I see so many patients
who get referrals from the local hospital but a big chunk of them never come back for a second
visit. It’s hard to see them walk away and not know why.
How do I get them to come back for a second visit?

Problem #2:
Wait Times & Satisfaction
Our patients are unsatisfied with their visit!
My name is Sally Sadsack and I’m an administrator at a large suburban walk-in clinic. If we keep
getting such low patient satisfaction scores, we’re going to lose a big chunk of funding. Patients
are frustrated by unknown wait times, then they only have 15 minutes with their doctor and don’t
feel like they’ve been listened to! They don’t know what information they should walk away with
or if there are alternative treatments. Sigh...
How can we help?

Problem #3:
Clinical Trial Survey Returns
Our patients aren’t engaged!
My name is Billy-Bob Borington and I’m the lead researcher in a clinical trial for a take-home oral
oncology treatment for breast cancer. It requires quantitative and qualitative survey feedback to
be filled-in by our patients every day. We give patients worksheets and collect them once a week.
The completion is terrible and those that do come back seemed to be filled-in quickly after the
fact. How do we get patients to return better qualitative and quantitative feedback at the right
time and in the right headspace?
And how do we make them less frustrated having to answer the same damn questions all the
time?

Spend money on Design Tools
Every team starts with Zero digital or analog (pen & paper) design tools. We have to outbid each
other for key items we’ll use for the morning design session. In the afternoon a second round of
bidding and we’ll have the use of two laptops + wifi per team.
