Earlier projects with Novo Nordisk had generated insights into patient needs, opportunities and barriers to care in India, China and USA and we co-created product ideas based on strategic value drivers for future modes of insulin delivery in such economies.
The project involved months of research into observing how people would understand new paradigms in product forms and new insulin delivery systems. And how at a higher level these new ideas would fit into the existing healthcare infrastructure in each country. Outcomes included design prototypes for four new product and service solutions.
The project also involved a series of training workshops and sessions enabling user research with their internal teams by supporting them with necessary tools and knowledge of ethnographic techniques and eventually synthesizing observations into value drivers. This exposed Novo Nordisk researchers to new people-centred approaches to innovation.
