Challenge : 

 The work which I am going to discuss here is ‘ Healthcare status in Rural India ’ .   I 

 wanted to know what the Influential factors that determine the healthcare status of any landscape 

 are ; in this case I have taken a village called Kakudia , Odisha - India . It is a village with almost 

 every resident ’s income level is below poverty line . The healthcare status of the region of course 

 was poor . So , It was quite easy to attribute the income level is the reason for their low healthcare 

 concerns . And it was quite reasonable to belief that also . But , while doing this Design Thinking 

 course , I started to think in a different way . I wanted to study deep into it and reason it out , i.e. I 

 wanted to confirm / disconfirm it that family income is / is not the key factor / only key factor in 

 deciding the healthcare status . That is the challenge I was onto . And I was seeking design 

 thinking tools to help me solve this . 

 Selection : 

 The Design thinking tool that I wanted to employ here is Learning Launch . The reason 

 I chose learning launch is that I basically wanted to test / experiment few ideas . I wanted to either 

 confirm / disconfirm an ideology / belief in that region and what else could help me testing an idea 

 other that learning launch . 

 Application : 

 At first launch , my thinking was quite narrow as to confirm / disconfirm the idea that 

 income is the prime indicator of healthcare status . I decided to interview people in that village so 

 as to collect data . The hypothesis here was , ‘ Income is not the only factor that decides the 

 healthcare ’ and I designed a questionnaire based on the pilot interviews to test this hypothesis . 

 The factors that influence healthcare were assumed ( Key Assumptions / hypothetically observed ) 

 to be Drinking Water Quality , Sanitation Facility , Health Education and Awareness , Occupation 

 status - Income and Health Expenditure . 

 At Second launch , I went out to collect exhaustive data for the analysis . While collecting 

 data , I was quite open for a surprising factor that has an influential impact on the healthcare 

 status . This ensured me that I was aware of my confirmation bias and I was more open for the 

 reality . The data were processed using SPSS ( Statistical Package for the Social Studies ) to test 

 the hypothesis . The result of the hypothesis test will give me the confirmation / disconfirmation of 

 the conceived notion that income is the only factor that decides the healthcare status of a region . 

 This is how I applied the design thinking tool - Learning Launch to test / experiment my idea 

 Insight : 

 By applying the Learning launch tool for testing my idea / Assumptions , It was observed 

 that the income status of the region is not the prime reason for the poor healthcare exhibit of the 

 village . The factors which I assumed such as Sanitation facility , Health Education also played 

 their parts ( with the help of Factor Analysis ) . Thus Learning Launch provided me the basement 

 where I can go on and test my idea . And to my surprise , it also helped me in unveil one more 

 factor that plays a role in deciding the healthcare status of a village : Geographical influence and 

 the industrial density . These Insights that popped out of this design thinking exercise , I believe , 

 will be very useful for those rural community - thanks to Design Thinking . 

 Approach : 

 Based on these insights , I believe I need to still dig deep into each factor in the same way 

 I begun . A quick recap , I began this to check if income is the only factor and then assumed few 

 other factors and tested my hypothesis . In the same way , I will be taking each and every above 

 tested factor individually and I will test those factors ( ideas related to those factors ) , in the future 

 launches . This exercise , I believe , will bring on so many other considerations as far as healthcare 

 is concerned and that will surely benefit the society . 

 This exercise can also be done with the help of mind mapping , where when I was doing 

 interview , I could have the made the candidates picture out their mind . And after that I could 

 have done the analysis part of those charts collected from the candidates . The challenge I felt 

 with this method was the literacy of the audience . The subjects were rural people and to be frank , 

 most of the people I interviewed were n’t good enough in writing and that makes this tool 

 difficult for a rural population , which is why I chose the Learning Launch tool . Thanks for the 

 flexible range of Design thinking tools .
