Travel Baby Monitor System
Design Solution
The objective of this project is to identify the pain points and unmet needs users experience when interacting with baby monitors through human-centered research methods. By gaining a deeper understanding of user behaviors, expectations, and challenges, the project will uncover opportunities to improve the overall monitoring experience.
Understanding the problem
Through a series of interviews and research, identify problem areas stakeholders encounter when using baby monitoring technology
Initial Research
