Q is a Human Biology student working with a team of peers on a project. The group have an assignment to design an innovative diagnostic tool.
Use the entrepreneurship principles to help Q navigate these choices.
''What should Q do to start?''
1. Suggest looking at an [[existing diagnostic device->S2B]] like a pregnancy test and work from there.
2. Ask [[open-ended questions->S2G]] like “Where are diagnostics hardest? What barriers matter for patients or health workers?”
<p style="float:right; margin:10px; width:30%";><img src="https://cms25.neocities.org/Double%20Diamond%20Images/Qthinkingss.png" alt=""; width="30%"></p>
That’s a practical start. Many innovations build on existing devices. But by starting with a specific device, you risk narrowing the space of possibilities quickly.
Another team member says “The ''Beginner’s Mindset'' encourages us to step back first and ask open questions, so we don’t miss other problems or contexts that might be even more impactful” and the team agrees to start there.
--------------------
The team starts asking questions about where diagnostics are hardest. From these discussions and some research, they reach agreement on some key points:
• Many infections are diagnosed too late because tests are slow.
• Patients at home after surgery often don’t know when a wound is infected.
• Doctors and nurses rely on visual inspection, but it’s subjective and sometimes unreliable.
• If there were a way for patients to see clear, objective signs of infection at home — ideally something that could be read by a smartphone — it would make a huge difference.
The team now need to agree on a way forward.
''What should Q suggest?''
• “We know that bacteria produce certain enzymes and by-products when they grow. Maybe we can use that to [[create a colour-change signal->S3G+1G+1B]].”
• “I read an article about [[quantum sensors->S3B+1G+1B]] that can detect tiny changes in molecules, and AI nanobots that can travel in the body to spot infections. Maybe we should look at those as possibilities?”<p style="float:right; margin:10px; width:25%";><img src="https://cms25.neocities.org/Double%20Diamond%20Images/QThumbBBB.png" alt=""; width="40%"></p>
Good idea. You’re applying the ''Beginner’s Mindset'' principle well.

Good use of the ''Bird in the Hand'' principle. By starting with the biology and technology you already understand (enzymes and colour change), you’re identifying resources you have at hand.
---------------------
The group discusses what they already know:
• Microbiology: bacteria cause wound infections.
• Physiology: inflammation and pus are late signs.
• Public health: delayed diagnosis can cause sepsis, especially in rural/low-resource settings.
• Access: They can talk to friends, family members, classmates, and students from other disciplines.
They need to decide what to do next.
''What should Q suggest?''
• We should [[talk to a few people->S4G+3G]], like medical students, nursing students, or find out if any of our classmates have surgery. We could ask them what challenges they’d face noticing wound infections early.
• Our user is basically ‘[[everyone with wounds->S4B+3G]].’ Let’s design something universal that works for all situations
<p style="float:right; margin:10px; width:30%";><img src="https://cms25.neocities.org/Double%20Diamond%20Images/Qthinkingss.png" alt=""; width="30%"></p>
That’s a creative leap, and shows curiosity about cutting-edge science, but it might be challenging to build a student project around it.
Another team member says “The ''Bird in the Hand'' is about starting with what we already know and can use right now. I think we should build from our existing knowledge about enzymes, bacterial by-products, and colour-change reactions.” The team agree to go with this suggestion.

Good application of the'' Know Your User''principle. This will keep user needs at the centre of discussion, which is vital for innovation.
--------------
From speaking to end users, the team now has a clearer picture of issues from the user point of view:
• Nursing and medical students say the hardest part is spotting infections early, before inflammation/pus.
• A student who had surgery said they only went to the clinic once the wound was already painful and swollen.
• That student also pointed out that because they’re from a remote area, they don’t have easy access to clinics.
''What should Q suggest the team do next?''
• “We’ve got a lot of information but we’re not sure what matters most. Let’s [[keep gathering data->S5B+4G]].”
• “Let’s [[define the problem broadly->S5G+4G]] but clear enough to give us an actionable focus e.g.: Patients need a simple, at-home way to detect wound infection early, before visible symptoms appear.”
<p style="float:right; margin:10px; width:30%";><img src="https://cms25.neocities.org/Double%20Diamond%20Images/Qthinkingss.png" alt=""; width="30%"></p>

Another team member says “The ''Know Your User'' principle tells us that we need to empathise with end users and understand their needs and challenges. Let’s take some time to speak to nursing students, medical students, and people who’ve had surgery.” The team agree to this suggestion.

-----------------------
The team has a brainstorming session and then creates a survey of what they believe to be their top ideas to run those past some other people.
1. A low-cost sticker or patch that could be placed near the wound and change colour with pH shifts (since bacterial infections often make wounds more alkaline).
2. A simple colour-test strip that patients could press against the wound — if bacteria are present, enzymes would trigger a visible colour change.
3. An app: patients take a photo of their wound daily and upload it to a system that flags early signs using AI image analysis.
''Survey feedback
Nursing student input:''
“Patients often don’t want to handle wounds directly. Pressing strips against them risks contamination and non-compliance. If the test could be built into the dressing itself, it would be safer and more user-friendly.”
''Engineering student input:''
“You don’t need a complicated device to link this to a smartphone. If the dressing itself changed colour, a phone camera could be used to record or even analyse the change. That way, patients could monitor themselves and, if needed, send a photo to a nurse or doctor.”
The team really liked the sticker idea but survey feedback points towards smart wound dressing. Although there are already wound dressings that change colour, the smartphone integration is an interesting idea, so they decide to pursue that. For their assignment, they need to have completed some kind of testing. What should they do next?
''What should Q suggest?''
1. “Let’s [[buy some colour-changing dressings->S7B+6G]]. We could build a no-code app to check “healthy wound colour” vs “infected wound colour”.
2. “We can make a [[mock dressing->S7G+6G]] by placing a pH strip to simulate a wound dressing. We could take photos with a smartphone as the strip changes colour. Then we could use a free colour picker tool to extract RGB values from the photos and drop them into a spreadsheet. That way, we can show how a phone could ‘measure’ the change without needing to build an app.”

3. An app: patients take a photo of their wound daily and upload it to a system that flags early signs using AI image analysis.
''Survey feedback

“Patients often don’t want to handle wounds directly. Pressing strips against them risks contamination and non-compliance. If the test could be built into the dressing itself, it would be safer and more user-friendly.”
''Engineering student input:''
“You don’t need a complicated device to link this to a smartphone. If the dressing itself changed colour, a phone camera could be used to record or even analyse the change. That way, patients could monitor themselves and, if needed, send a photo to a nurse or doctor.”
The team really liked the sticker idea but survey feedback points towards smart wound dressing. Although there are already wound dressings that change colour, the smartphone integration is an interesting idea, so they decide to pursue that. For their assignment, they need to have completed some kind of testing. What should they do next?
''What should Q suggest?''
1. “Let’s [[buy some colour-changing dressings->S7B+4G+2B]]. We could build a no-code app to check “healthy wound colour” vs “infected wound colour”.
2. “We can make a [[mock dressing->S7G+4G+2B]] by placing a pH strip to simulate a wound dressing. We could take photos with a smartphone as the strip changes colour. Then we could use a free colour picker tool to extract RGB values from the photos and drop them into a spreadsheet. That way, we can show how a phone could ‘measure’ the change without needing to build an app.”

That’s a practical application of the ''Crazy Quilt'' principle. While a co-design ideation session with all of those people together would be ideal, it might not be easy to arrange. However, it’s still good to find a way to get input from a wide variety of people.

The team has a brainstorming session and then creates a survey of what they believe to be their top ideas to run those past some other people.

Another team member says “The ''Crazy Quilt'' principle reminds us that partnerships and collaboration lead to stronger, more grounded ideas. Let’s create a survey to run our ideas past our end user representatives and anyone else who can give us input.”

Another team member says “The ''Affordable Loss'' principle is about making small, low-risk experiments to learn quickly using the resources you already have. Let’s go with an easier option of using a PH strip and a spreadsheet of colours”. The team agree with this suggestion.
------------------------
The team run their quick test using pH strips, a smartphone, and a spreadsheet of RGB values.
• To the naked eye, some colour changes look subtle.
• But when they extract the RGB values, the differences are larger than expected — the smartphone “exaggerates” the colour shifts, making them easier to distinguish.
The team worries: “If the phone camera exaggerates colours, maybe this isn’t reliable.”
''What should Q suggest?''
• “Maybe [[this could be useful->S8G+6G+1B]]. The phone detects small shifts that we might not see ourselves. That means patients could spot infection earlier. Instead of a flaw, we can frame this as a strength of our idea.”
• “If the phone exaggerates colour, [[our test isn’t valid->S8B+6G+1B]]. Let’s abandon the smartphone part and just focus on the idea of a colour-change dressing.”

Abandoning the smartphone integrations loses one of the unique aspects of your idea.
Another team member says “The'' Lemonade ''principle reminds us that setbacks or surprises can actually fuel innovation, not stop it. Instead of seeing this as a flaw, let’s reframe it as a strength. The smartphone can detect tiny changes earlier than the human eye.” The team agrees with this suggestion.

The team present their final concept: a smart wound dressing that changes colour when infection is present, with optional smartphone monitoring to detect subtle shifts earlier than the human eye.
They also discuss their journey through which they have:
• Questioned assumptions about existing diagnostics.
• Narrowed the problem to “patients need a simple, at-home way to detect wound infection early, before visible symptoms appear.”
• Collaborated with users and other students, and testing cheaply with what they had on hand.
• Turned unexpected results (camera colour exaggeration) into a strength, shaping a unique and innovative idea.
''They receive positive feedback:''
“You’ve shown how entrepreneurial mindset principles can guide innovation, even in a student project. The final idea isn’t just the dressing — it’s the process you followed: curiosity, user focus, collaboration, affordable testing, and reframing challenges into opportunities. That’s exactly the kind of mindset we want you to carry into your future work.”
###Congratulations on helping the team achieve this outcome!
