Finger Foods

BIOHACKING

RESEARCH + DESIGN STRATEGY + OPPORTUNITY FINDING + PROTOTYPING

ROLE

Design Strategist, Research Co-Lead, Project Manager, Documentary Photographer.

OBJECTIVE

We collaborated as a team to design and implement a 10 week long contextual research study on the local culture of biohacking in Savannah, GA. We worked together to gather data to affinitize and analyze results through data collection methods such as surveys, cultural probes, observation and many more.

SOLUTION

Countless surveys, interviews and observation methods lead us to the analysis that the community had little to no knowledge of biohacking. The community believed it to be difficult to make healthy choices to maximize their potential. Our strategic position of product creation and development was refined through several iterations of idea and sketching sessions, solution frameworks and prototypes. We created FingerFoods, a personal nutrition system that consists of an implantable device and a meal delivery system. Through an application, users will be able to track goals, measure nutrition levels and develop a healthy meal tailored to what your body needs at that moment in time, all within the scan of a finger.
