Ongoing Studios

“…I do remember that LiveWell & Hill-Rom Studio gave me early exposure to the process of conducting human-centred product research and extracting valuable insights from user feedback, which makes up a large part of what I do today, and for that I’m grateful.”

The cross-functional teams of students and their faculty facilitators in the Singapore Live Well Collaborative bring a collective curiosity which provides richness and a broad point of views to projects they tackle surrounding issues of aging people and consumers. The youthful enthusiasm of the team members brings an ability to glean key insights from their consumer observations, and then make great connections to bring innovative solutions that go beyond the obvious and expected. Singapore provides a strategic location to work with the diverse range of people in Asia.

I felt that the Panasonic Studio provided me with the chance to experience many different things. I not only got to learn concepts related to our project on factory farming, but also gained experience in various aspects, such as how to properly conduct a formal interview and a presentation. Not to mention, I also got to learn some useful tips that can be used in school from my group mates since we all came from different backgrounds and have different skills. I found the whole process of design thinking really insightful, and it helped me to understand the consumers on a deeper level as well.

It is very important to understand the aging Asian market. Boeing is working with Live Well Collaborative in Singapore to get an understanding of who our future passengers are and how to better accommodate them. With the collaborative, we get the advantage of bright young minds, who know today’s technology, solving problems for tomorrow’s seniors. The students develop insights that highlight the culture and develop unique solutions. The final results are always an enlightening surprise.
