What did you learn from this week’s studio activities?

1. How to develop a workbook and workshop?

This week, our team spent a lot of time organizing a workshop and gathering ideas around that. We refined our workshop protocol by defining what we wanted to get out of this session and what our final goals were.
Besides, I love psychological testing because it tells me what my heart thinks, and I can compare myself to the persona analyzed by the test. But what we felt missing in making the working book was that the questions we created with a certain intention did not always align with people’s answers and reasoning. Therefore, it was difficult to give them credibility, like a psychological test, or give collective feedback on people’s interpretations.

2. Interview with the Abridge’s CEO

The Abridge’s product is a case in which Ai is incorporated into medial services. Basically, people can download the app and use it as a recorder when they talk to the doctor. The difference from the normal recorder is that it gives more emphasis on jargon and medial terms and allow patient to listen to the text one by one repeatedly by phrase. It is necessary to have a critical view of Ai’s implication, but it was interesting to hear the story of actual Ai technology being utilized for the common good and being developed as a service.
The reason why we wanted to talk to him was that the service was using the recorded conversation (verbal data) as their core of the service, and have an emphasis on their brand with privacy value. After the conversation, we wanted to have an interview with real users, and know more about how privacy as the main focus of the service is interpreted by users and what it affects their behavior and awareness.
