Versity – A insulin diabetes device, fitting your life
This process report represents the development of a redesign and reinterpretationof insulin pens used to treat diabetes type-1. The project investigates emotional,practical, and stigma-related issues when treating diabetes with insulinpens. Having diabetes and sticking yourself with insulin needles several times aday often creates stigma and judgmental glances from surroundings.Therefore, this study will investigate how to challenge the design language ofthe classic insulin pen so that the user gets a more significant affiliation with it,like a new accessory or gadget. The process consists of interviews with users,several rounds of knowledge and concept iterations, and mock-up testing withusers. The final product proposal is a smaller physical product platform wherethe ‘base’ device is repeated within each variant. The group has proposed threedesigns with three individual features that will hit selected user groups.
