problem space
The design problem at the CHI 2008 Student Design Competition, revolved around the homeless. The goal was to "develop user-centered design solutions to support, assist, enhance or otherwise benefit" them.

design approach
Since targetting the homeless directly was going to be difficult since they are a protected group, our team focused on the health centers that provide free health care to homeless patients. We visited a few of such centers around us to determine the problems they faced and designed a solution around the medical volunteers.

methods used
focus group studies, contextual enquiry, affinity diagramming, prototyping
