Abstract
This process report represents the development of a redesign and reinterpretation of insulin pens used to treat diabetes type-1. The project investigates emotional, practical, and stigma-related issues when treating diabetes with insulin pens. Having diabetes and sticking yourself with insulin needles several times a day often creates stigma and judgmental glances from surroundings. Therefore, this study will investigate how to challenge the design language of the 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 with users. The final product proposal is a smaller physical product platform where the ‘base’ device is repeated within each variant. The group has proposed three designs with three individual features that will hit selected user groups.
