    This collaborative project at RISE explores 3D-printed seafood analogues to meet the growing demand for sustainable meat alternatives, involving divisions from Agriculture and Food, Material and Surface Design, and Chalmers Technical University. The study focuses on gathering consumer perspectives through focus groups involving 35 individuals with varying levels of seafood consumption, as well as different levels of aversion to new food technologies (also known as food technology neophobia). Key findings highlight fish as the primary focus, with information needs, environmental knowledge, and sustainability influencing choices. Preferences for familiar preparations, nutrient parity, and clear labeling emerge as crucial. The subsequent ideation phase yielded a final design for a 3D printed seafood analogue, named Havsudden, which is a smaller sized triangular shaped vegan fish analogue. We hope that the final design proposal aligns with consumer demands. This report contributes insights into understanding consumer attitudes, needs, and barriers for innovative, consumer-centric food products. In conclusion, “Havsudden” is a product that aims to reshape perceptions and acceptance within the seafood analogue market. Through its evolution, it gives diverse options for consumers, and is poised to pave the way for a future where seafood alternatives are embraced and celebrated.

    Kvinnorshälsaifokus förframtidenssjukvård: Användarcentreradutformning avdigifysiskvårdriktadtillkvinno

    The digitalisation of the Swedish healthcare system has led to increased access to healthcare, despite this the need for specialized healthcare for women remains. This project analyze the user’s needs and requirements on a digiphysical healthcare app designed for women’s health issues with a main focus on contraceptive counseling. This is, for many women, their first introduction to women’s healthcare. Therefore a user centered approach is needed and five different personas were made to be able to adapt the end result for different types of patient journeys. During the project four main factors to a user's experience of women’s healthcare were discovered: availability, approach, trust and communication. The project was executed with an external client, Femcare, with the deliverables questionnaire which consisted of triage questions, anamnesis questions and follow-up questions and also an interface of their healthcare app. The project has been executed according to agile methodologies and in interaction with the users through continuous communication through interviews, usability tests, focus groups and surveys to ensure that the target group’s needs and requirements are met. Important aspects during the formulation of the questionnaire were that the language had to be transparent and inclusive to create trust and contribute to good communication with the caregiver. The user places further requirements on the app’s interface to be seen as professional, modern, discreet and intriguing to encourage use and make it easy to seek care. The results can be used as a foundation by Femcare during the development of their healthcare app.

    (2023) Axelsson, Ellinor; Liew, Caroline; Lööf, Gustaf; Marttila, Marcus; Osterman, Ida; Runeson, Lovisa; Chalmers tekniska högskola / Institutionen för industri- och materialvetenskap; Chalmers University of Technology / Department of Industrial and Materials Science; Bligård, Lars-Ola; Tuveson, Jonas
    Long-haul truck drivers spend a lot of time in the truck cabin, since they drive, eat and sleep in it. Thus, the cabin becomes similar to a second home for the drivers. Therefore, it is important that they feel comfortable in the cabin and that it contributes to an increased well-being for the drivers. The interior light is a contributing factor to this and is therefore important to investigate, which the client Volvo Trucks has identified. The goal of the project was to create a comprehension of the problem with an associated list of requirements for the interior light in the truck cabin, to then develop a concept that corresponds to this. Based on user studies, observations, and literature studies, the three main aspects to fulfill in order to achieve the well-being of the drivers were personification, user-experience, and health. This resulted in the final LUMINA concept. In LUMINA, LED-strips are discreetly placed in the cabin to illuminate surfaces, creating an experience of increased space and coziness. To enable a personalized cabin, the color and intensity of the lights can be adjusted based on activity and preference. Furthermore, the light can gradually increase, similar to the natural daylight, to contribute to an improved circadian rhythm. In order to further develop the concept, more data collection and prototyping are of great significance. Since truck drivers are important for the future, further investigation in this area is of utmost importance.
