In this project, executed by graduation student Joris Blok from Delft University of Technology, a multi-day course has been designed that allows Design Thinking to be embedded in organisations successfully. The course teaches the Design Thinking process, as well as a set of essential mindsets for Design Thinking novices. Furthermore, the course empowers participants to integrate Design Thinking into their context at work. This project taps into the quality of current courses on the market, which is insufficient for people to understand Design Thinking as well as to comprehend how Design Thinking can be applied in practice. The project has taken on a design-led approach. After a quick benchmark of several existing courses, a literature study has been executed. Subsequently, an existing course has been observed, and different interviews have been conducted with eight people from the target group, two Design Thinking trainers and ten participants that have participated in a Design Thinking course. These observations and interviews have led to several insights for the new course. Furthermore, as a set of key mindsets for Design Thinking novices has been selected based on a co-creation session with three design students and four people from the target group. The results have been used to develop an operational framework for Design Thinking novices, which integrates the Design Thinking process and key mindsets. This framework, as well as constructive alignment, have led to the realisation of a prototype of the course. The prototype has been validated with twenty participants, divided over two different settings (i.e. an in-company course in the private sector and an open course in the public sector). The validation of the prototype has proven that the course is projectable in both situations. Furthermore, the activities of the course enable participants to accomplish the learning objectives. Follow-up interviews have shown that participants actively integrate the key mindsets after the course into their context at work. An additional insight from the interviews was that the course must contain an overview of all the design methods and tools with practical guidelines to enable the participants to apply the Design Thinking process after the course. Furthermore, the course must empower participants to convince others in their context of the added value of Design Thinking in projects. Based on these results, the prototype has been iterated and refined, and a final product has been presented, which is assumed to allow Design Thinking to be embedded in organisations successfully.

▼ In low- and middle income countries there is a need for safe and affordable high quality surgical equipment. Nowadays, electrosurgical units are part of the standard equipment in operation theatres worldwide, since electrosurgery comes with many advantages such as reduced blood loss. However, the technology of electrosurgery also carries several safety risks such as alternative electrical pathways or current leakage which often have burn wounds as a result. The problem is that electrosurgical equipment was not designed with the low-resource healthcare context in mind. And as research shows many hazardous situations are frequently caused by electrosurgical equipment use in low-resource countries (Oosting, 2018). The aim of this study is to determine how the low-resource healthcare context triggers safety risks to occur. Therefore, the general technology related risks, the journey of the electrosurgical equipment in terms of activities, and the user characteristics are researched. In the user study special attention is paid to the users’ knowledge about electrosurgery. The research data was collected by conducting a literature study, and by using a qualitative case study approach. In a Kenyan national hospital fourteen surgeries were observed and semi-structured interviews were held with users of the electrosurgical equipment. The data was used to map out the electrosurgical equipment journey including all the phases and activities the equipment is involved in. Additionally, user profiles were created. The results show that the electrosurgical equipment journey contains following phases: procurement, pre-treatment, surgical treatment, post treatment, maintenance, repair and disposal. The main users of the electrosurgical equipment are the biomechanical engineering technician (BMET), the nurse, the surgical assistant, the surgeon and medical students. What is striking is that only the BMET learn about the principles of electrosurgery during his/her education. The study results reveal that the interplay of safety risks generally related to electrosurgery, contextual factors, and user characteristics trigger several safety concerns. The risks lead from the selection of too high power settings to incorrect placement of the return electrode plate, and not knowing how to react in case of an system error. The study reveals that many of those safety concerns are caused by the medical staff’s lack of knowledge about the principles and risks of electrosurgery, and by an interface design that does not consider these user characteristics and needs. On this basis, a new interface of the electrosurgical unit and additional information stickers for safe equipment use are developed during this project. The equipment journey is used to pinpoint safety concerns and related root causes which are planned to resolve. Furthermore, the journey helps to determine where the design intervention should be placed. It is recommended to further develop the design concepts in the future and test their usability with intended users.

▼ If used alongside insecticide treated bed nets, an innovative odour baited mosquito trap with a high capture performance could contribute massively to the prevention of malaria in Africa and the eradication of the disease. This report outlines the research and design processes carried out by Henry Fairbairn, with the support of a supervisory team from consisting of members from the Technical University of Delft and Wageningen University and Research. The SolarMal Project was the first trial to investigate the impact of odour baited mosquito suction traps as a tool for vector control and malaria prevention. Results from the clinical study show that the implementation of mosquito traps across the island of Rusinga, Kenya, lead to a 30% reduction in cases of malaria and 70% reduction in the Anopheles population (Homan et al. 2016). However, further research into mosquito escape behaviour showed the Suna-Trap, used in the SolarMal Trial, had a poor capture performance with less than 4% of approach flights resulting in capture (Cribellier et al. 2018). A study by N.Tubben found that the majority users in were unable to maintain the Solar powered mosquito trapping systems after the project. To be an effective tool for prevention of malaria, it must be possible for users in Africa to sustain the working condition of the trap to continue to reduce biting and even prevent resurgence. Based on findings from this research and an iterative R&D process outlined in this report, it was possible to design an concept for an innovative mosquito trap with a high capture performance which is suitable for further lab testing and field testing. A number if concepts were tested in order to highlight how variant factor effect performance compared to the Suna-Trap. Each concept tested should include as few variables compared to the benchmark Suna-Trap to clearly conclude on how the variant effects performance. Although the testing is not thorough enough to make any scientific conclusions, there is enough data to make a conclusion as to whether incorporating the feature into a new design will increase the capture rate. High performing principals can be further tested in the future. From evaluations of the hypotheses it can be concluded that the additions of heat and moisture increase the capture rate in comparison to a standard Suna-Trap under lab conditions. The addition of hot water and a heating element above the trap canopy showed the most notable improvement compared to the BG Suna-Trap in terms of capture performance. It is thought that the additional heat and moisture in the trap prove more attractive to the target vectors increasing the number of approach flights resulting in more flights into the capture zone. Considering the context factors as well as performance factors highlighted in the research, the final design aims to provide a high performance mosquito trapping solution of which is suitable for use in Africa.

▼ This report is the result of a graduation project in the domain of the Neglected Tropical Disease (NTD): Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) in low resource settings in East Africa. The project aims to find promising ways to fit a technical principle, which is being developed at the TUDelft, in the context of VL. VL endemic regions in Eastern Uganda and North-Western were visited during a two-week field trip to understand the context of VL. VL is a parasitic disease which is endemic in several parts in the world including East Africa. The disease is strongly related to poverty and mainly persists in remote and poor areas where health care services are limited. VL affects the internal organs and is fatal if untreated. There are many barriers complicate access VL diagnostics and treatment, such as the limited number of facilities, large distances, lack of trained staff and low index of suspicion by health care workers. VL is often misdiagnosed as the symptoms of VL are similar to many other diseases. In addition, current diagnostic practices have limitations in their performance (unreliable), especially in East Africa. More reliable diagnostic practices require more advanced tools and skills which are not available in most VL endemic areas. Thus, there is a need for a more reliable diagnostic test for the African VL context. The technical principle can be integrated on a diagnostic test strip to test a patient for VL. Based on a sample, it can separate and amplify the pathogens and detect their DNA with a CRISPR/Cas9 system. The result is a colourimetric read-out which indicates whether or not the patient has VL. This technical principle is based on DNA detection, which enables reliable test results independent of someone’s immune system. Additional advantages of this technical principle are that it is quick and broadly applicable. To understand where the technical principle could be implemented, a session was held with the team of IDE and Applied Sciences (TUDelft). This session resulted in the creation of seven scenarios which represent unique ways to combine the features of the technical principle into a diagnostic test which fits a diagnostic setting in the context of VL and matches a local need. After evaluation with Médecins Sans Frontières, the two most ‘promising’ scenarios are selected based on the feasibility of the technical principle, the contextual fit and the local need. The two selected scenarios are: ‘Screening & Confirming” scenario and the “Test-of-cure” scenario.By detailing the selected scenarios, five variables where identified which clarify that the diagnostic setting influences the features of a diagnostic test. These are: 1) (geographic) location, 2) resource availability, 3) (medical) background of the user, 4) diagnostic moment, 5) patient status. Requirements are composed to see how the diagnostic setting affects the diagnostic test. The categorisation of the requirements and diagnostic setting variables have resulted in four different diagnostic tests - each with a unique set of requirements.… Advisors/Committee Members: Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), van Engelen, Jo (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

This report showcases the development of a product to aid the venipuncture procedure. Venipuncture is a procedure where intravenous access is obtained for several purposes. Finding a location and vein to insert the needle is the most important step of this procedure. Nearly 90% of hospitalised patients have to undergo the procedure. Despite venipuncture being the most performed procedure at hospitals, almost 50% of all cases fail at the first needle insertion attempt with adults and more than 60% with children. This failure leads to several complications such as bacterial infection, extravasation or phlebitis. The product must be able to be used for all skin types and all healthcare contexts. For this, multiple end-users and use cases are within the scope of the project. To cover all use cases, a minimal viable product is developed. This is a product which has all minimal functionalities to make the product viable. The minimal viable product can be altered with minimal adjustments to make it fit to a specific context. To increase first-attempt success rate, the Veindicator is developed. This product will have minimal viable functionalities to aid the venipuncture procedure. The Veindicator is a device which uses Near Infrared spectroscopy to visualise veins. Near infrared spectroscopy analyses the transmission and absorption of photons within the near infrared spectrum. Veins contain deoxygenated hemoglobin which, when exposed to near infrared radiation, almost completely absorb this radiation. By utilising the absorption characteristics of deoxyhemoglobin, veins can be distinguished from surrounding tissue. To further enhance the contrast of the vein pattern and the surrounding tissue, the exposure of NIR is increased. Looking at the optical absorption window, a light source is used with a wavelength between 700 - 900 nanometer within the electromagnetic spectrum. Here, the deviation between the attenuation coefficients of deoxyhemoglobin and human tissue are the highest. The image of the enhanced veins is captured and contrast is further increased by the use of digital image processing algorithms. Finally, the enhanced vein pattern is extracted from the image and via a projector, displayed back onto the skin. The projection increases the visibility of the veins and therefore aids the venipuncture procedure.

▼ One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives (WHO, 2001). Around 450 million people currently suffer from such conditions, placing mental disorders among the leading causes of ill- health and disability worldwide, in particular in low-income countries, where many barriers to receiving support exist (WHO, 2001). Inuka is a social enterprise spun out from Philips that aims at tackling Mental Health by making psychological support more accessible, affordable, anonymous and qualified. Inuka offers life coaching via confidential chats on smartphones. On one side, Inuka trains and supervises lay health workers in delivering a Behavioral- Cognitive-Therapy method. On the other side, Inuka connects them with distressed clients that want to be supported in facing life challenges, through an online platform. To achieve further social impact, Inuka aims to scale out to new geographic, social and cultural contexts, starting from the Church context. As a matter of fact, distressed individuals, in particular in Africa, seek psychological support in religious leaders as one of the first touchpoints. Starting by translating Inuka to the Church context in Kenya (Inuka Faith), where part of Inuka team is based, this thesis aims to provide the company with a framework to support their future scaling-out processes. Drawing from literature research on scaling social enterprises and adapting Evidence-based interventions to new locations, a framework to adapt Inuka current service to the characteristics of a new context was designed. The framework was tested and iterated on by applying it to the Church context in Kenya. Three main iterations were carried on, one of which entails field research in Nairobi, where the author stayed for 4 weeks. The objectives of the field trip were to better understand the context, its stakeholders and target users and to set the ground for an actual implementation. The adaptation process proposed in the final framework entails three phases (“Assess the new context“, “Validate Inuka Value Hypothesis“ and “Adapt variable components“), is preceded by a phase that unlocks those three (“Assess Inuka’s resources“) and followed by the implementation and evaluation of a pilot. For each phase, Inuka team should assess whether it is reasonable to think that the phase is completed (and therefore go to the next phase), if it is better to pivot on that phase, or if advisable to stop the scaling out process to the new chosen context. The final framework does not aim to be a strict guide to be literally followed, but to provide the company with relevant elements that should be kept in mind and methods the company could use. The application of the designed framework to Inuka Faith case allowed to unveil barriers to its adoption by potential customers and new opportunities. For this reason, the framework is expected to achieve the same outcome when applied to other contexts. This is due to the twofold nature of the framework. On one side, the systematic… Advisors/Committee Members: Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), Jamsin, Ella (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Bathroom cleaning is one of the troublesome daily issues. All kinds of contaminants on the bathroom floor take people a lot of time and effort to deal with. With the development of computational technologies, smart products are gradually entering into our lives to solve these troublesome issues. Therefore, there is a chance to use new technologies to solve the bathroom floor cleaning problem and to make life convenient. Obviously, different people have different attitudes towards smart products, which influence their preferences on interacting with smart products. Based on my personal experience, Chinese and Dutch young adults have this difference, and are chosen as the target groups. To sum up, this project aims to explore the interaction with a smart bathroom floor cleaner in Chinese and Dutch cultural contexts. The main challenge is to collect and analyze information from different aspects, and then integrated into a complex system, namely a smart bathroom floor cleaner system. The related aspects include context, user experience, smart product technologies, etc. We analyzed the bathroom environment conditions, the cleaning related concerns, the expected cleaning experience, promising technologies, Cyber-physical systems principles, and the opportunities in Chinese and Dutch smart product markets. The results show that the two groups have no significant differences in bathroom usage and cleaning habits. The expected experience for both groups is trustworthy and effortless. However, their attitudes towards smart products are different. The Chinese group has higher interest, while the Dutch group is more conservative. This difference is also consistent with the difference in the smart product markets. Therefore, we designed different interaction concepts based on the device in different intelligence levels in the conceptualization phase. In order to design an interaction concept, at first we need a device concept that can meet the requirements of the bathroom cleaning. This device concept is formed by two cleaning robots and a base station. It has physical functions and cognitive functions about the bathroom cleaning. Then, the generation of the interaction concepts is based on the device concept’s variants with different intelligence levels. Supplemented by interaction techniques and emotional expectations, different interaction concepts were defined. To analyze the experience of these interaction concepts, we refined the concepts. Through the storyboard and prototypes, participants evaluated these concepts. The results showed that the interaction concept with the most intelligent device could best reach the expected experience. At the same time, interaction elements in other concepts (e.g. using mobile apps to show complex information) also received positive feedback. In the end, we chose the interaction concept with the most intelligent device concept, with elements from other concepts as supplements, and had the final interaction concept. The final evaluation indicated that the concept is able to make… Advisors/Committee Members: Horvath, Imre (graduation committee), Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

The concept of Venturedam was developed to solve societal challenges in India by nurturing the strength of the innovations made in the Netherlands. For Dutch startups to expand to a new market like India that has a considerable difference in the context, it is first required to redefine the value proposition and the business model specific to the new context. Also, startups in the energy domain are defined as a beachhead market for Venturedam considering their faster growth. Venturedam as a strategic design consulting firm would help Dutch energy startups to understand and identify markets in India that fits with the value proposition. Once the market is identified, Venturedam would also support startups to redesign the product and the business model. To execute market expansion projects for startups, Venturedam is required to have a process or a framework to guide different activities. These activities would be required to perform successful market expansion for the startup. Venturedam itself would also require a business model to make a viable business case. The design goal was set up to define a framework and a business model for Venturedam. Market expansion is a strategic design activity, and it is required to find an opportunity with a considerable balance between desirability, viability, and feasibility. Strategic design literature is referred to create the framework for Venturedam. The framework is named as ‘Projectile framework.’ The framework derived from the literature is tested with a Dutch energy startup Solar Monkey from Yes! Delft incubator. Steps from the first diamond of the framework are applied to the case of Solar Monkey. Learnings are captured throughout the application of the framework. These learnings are utilized to redesign Projectile framework for future projects. Addition to the learnings gathered from the application of the framework, feedback from experts and Solar Monkey is collected. Analyzing learnings and feedbacks, new design directions were defined. These design directions helped to further develop Projectile framework. Design directions also helped to modify steps, tools, and methods of the framework. Learnings captured during the application of the process facilitated to build the business model of Venturedam.The concept of Venturedam started with a broad idea of facilitating innovation transfer between two countries. This graduation project lays the first stones for setting up my firm to create greater value for innovators and to address challenges of emerging economies.

▼ In India, there is an existing taboo of menstruation which has an impact on the well-being of women in different ways - from education, economics, health, religion to different personal aspects. Many activities are happening in India towards improving the situation around menstruation - from governmental activities and plans, provision of sanitary pads in the rural areas, organization of educational sessions in schools, to famous actors using media to spread awareness on these issues. However, there is a need to create a change in the mindset and the behaviour of society to accept the made efforts. This graduation project is an extension of an elective course of Design for Emerging Markets in the winter semester of 2018 at TU Delft. The field research of this graduation project was conducted in India in order to get closer to the problem and get emerged into the context. The field research included interviews with different experts in the field to understand how this problem has been approached from different angles. As the topic of menstruation is a sensitive one in India, one must work from a comfortable and safe space of people to create a change, and this lead to the family context. The tests were conducted with 9 families to understand what is the behaviour people have in their homes and how does the conversation go around this topic. Research brought to a conclusion how pre-menstruating girls are not informed on the subject until they get their first period, which causes them to experience shock, fear and anxiety when they start menstruating. Men are often excluded in the discussion around menstruation, and in the family, the discussion is often occurring between the girl and her mother. Through research a correlation was found between the positive attitude in girls towards menstruation and their freedom of conversation on menstruation with both parents. That is why this project has focused on enabling discussion in a family home between all members prior to the girl’s first menstruation. Even though the problem around menstruation in India is a complex one, enabling discussion can be that one step towards the desired behaviour change to enhance the well-being of the girl. Gamification came as a solution as it can bring all family members together through an engaging and fun activity. Creating an engaging activity can help in subtly bringing to the surface the otherwise stigmatized topic, and the fun aspect of the game helps in creating a positive atmosphere which makes the discussion more enjoyable. After testing 4 different designs, the outcome design is a pairing type of card game, Mix-A-Body-Match. As the entire aim is to create funny pairs, the game doesn’t require prior knowledge on the subject, which allows both the pre-menstruating girl and male members of the family to get involved into the game-playing with ease. The game comes with a booklet that contains the rules to the game and explains the content on the cards.

▼ Urinary schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the Schistosoma haematobium parasite. People can get infected when they get into contact with contaminated fresh water. The disease is most prevalent amongst children, farmers and rural communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, the disease is diagnosed by microscopic egg count in laboratories. However, there are limitations to use of this method in low resource settings. At Delft University of Technology, smart diagnostics are under development that allow diagnosis of urinary schistosomiasis without microscope. However, the user and diagnostic setting for these tests has not been specified yet. The goal of this project is to combine gaps in the healthcare system and the needs of stakeholders with technological possibilities into a target product profile for a diagnostic device for urinary schistosomiasis for specific use case scenarios. This project takes Nigeria as study field. There are two optical diagnostic methods under development, which combine a simple optical system with an algorithm to automatically detect S. haematobium ova in urine samples. The Schistoscope uses a reversed lens attached to a smartphone or Raspberry Pi camera to magnify and take an image of an urine sample. An algorithm localizes and classifies potential ova. The SODOS uses an optical sensor and a lens to perform a holographic analysis of urine samples. The algorithm digitally reconstructs the image, from which ova are classified. These technologies can offer the following benefits compared to microscopy; 1) Simple and user friendly; 2) Rapid; 3) Sensitive; 4) Robust and portable; 5) Affordable; 6) Data collection. An qualitative research with semi-structured interviews was conducted in Oyo State, Nigeria to explore the context and identify gaps and stakeholders for i) case management on primary healthcare level, and ii) the control & elimination program. The main problem in case management is that diagnosis is not done at primary level due to limited resources and awareness, which leads very few confirmed cases. For case management, the stakeholders are divided into healthcare enablers, formal health providers, informal health providers and healthcare receivers. The control & elimination program is divided into i) mapping of schistosomiasis prevalence and ii) mass drug administration during Deworming days. The problem in the control & elimination program is that lack of diagnosis leads to an unknown disease prevalence. As a result, there is limited government interest and funding. For the control & elimination program the stakeholders are divided into initiation, organization, mapping implementation, Deworming implementation and target populations. The benefits from technology were combined with gaps in the healthcare context into twelve opportunities for diagnostic scenarios. Three diagnostic scenarios were selected; 1) Test at PHC consult by a community health worker, which allows testing at PHC level; 2) Mapping of adult populations at risk, where… Advisors/Committee Members: Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), van Engelen, Jo (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

With the introduction of the RepRap 3D printers, capable of printing most of its own parts, the cost of 3D printers dropped radically, making it an affordable and accessible technology, even for low resource settings. It is said that 3D printing can greatly increase accessibility to medical equipment in low resource settings because it enables local production and radically reduces costs. Within the Delft Global Initiative there are several research teams experimenting with the use of 3D printing for local production of low cost medical equipment in Sub-Saharan Africa. They quickly discovered that 3D printing in this setting is not as easy as it might sound. For one, the operating conditions were found to be much harsher in African, than in Western settings. According to researchers from Penn State University, current 3D printers lack in user-friendliness and robustness required to impact rural healthcare. Therefore, the goal of this project was to (1) identify the challenges for 3D printing in Sub-Saharan Africa, and (2) develop a final design proposal for a 3D printer for healthcare in this setting. The project started with an extensive analysis phase, where Kenya was chosen as a case study of a Sub-Saharan African country. The goal of this phase was to get a deep and qualitative understanding of the context of Kenya, and identify important implications for the design. In the design phase, an extensive amount of time and effort has gone into finding solutions for the challenges identified during the analysis. Solutions were developed to make the printer (1) able to operate on an unstable grid, (2) able to deal with excessive dust and high temperatures, (3) maintain a maximum printing uptime, (4) allow the printer to be used by anyone and finally (5) to allow the printer to be compactly transported. The first deliverable is a list of valuable insights that provides a deep and qualitative understanding in the context of Kenya in relation to 3D printing. This can primarily be used for the development of a 3D printer for low resource settings, but might also be valuable for initiatives working on closely related products in a similar setting. The second deliverable, in the form of a final design proposal, consists of a Prusa i3 printer adapted to fit the context of Kenya. It features a flexible power supply with backup battery, protection against dust and high temperatures, an automatic part ejection system, easy use through smartphone and lastly it is can be compactly transported and quickly assembled. The design proposal was evaluated by a panel of experts from Kenya and the US. They rated the final design to fit the intended user and context very well, but also stressed that it could be tailored more to the healthcare sector. The proposal was considered a better solution than what is currently on the market. More work should be done in the field of usability.

▼ This report describes the results of a thesis commissioned by Proportion, a global design agency, situated in Amsterdam. Proportion aims to innovate for social impact by applying the human-centred design approach to current problems in society (proportion.global). One of the challenges Proportion wants to tackle is youth unemployment in Kenya. There are two parties connected to this challenge of youth unemployment within this graduation project. Firstly, there is a significant problem of youth unemployment in Kenya. This problem was addressed by Proportion, whereby they want to explore possible interventions against this unemployment. Secondly, social businesses in Kenya aim to create employment. Therefore, this graduation project seeks to redefine the relationship between social businesses and young professionals in Kenya, tackling the problem of youth unemployment. To be able to redefine the relationship between social businesses and young professionals, in-depth context research was required. This context exploration consisted of desk and field research with social entrepreneurs and inspiring youth alike. Additionally, creative sessions with Kenyan youth and social business owners were carried out. The qualitative information was used to identify the challenges of the current situation of youth unemployment. Furthermore, this helped to gain insights into the desired condition for both social businesses and young professionals. This qualitative research resulted in three problem areas of youth unemployment; the challenge of personal identity, the difficulty of what journey to take in life and the gap between theory and practice. These problem areas are linked to three opportunity areas: identifying the capabilities of the youth, creating an open company culture and providing mentorship. These opportunity areas, which were derived from identified problems, created a frame of reference for the future relationship between social businesses and young professionals. This frame of reference initiated secondary literature research on employee engagement. The findings of the theory on employee engagement led to an adapted diagram of the employee performance pyramid (Stum, 2011). Several levels need to be fulfilled to create employee engagement. These are the following in chronological order; rewards, comfort, collaboration, relations and growth. The designed concept needs to incorporate these levels to create a relationship between social enterprises and young professionals where engagement is enhanced. The findings of the research resulted in a strategic framework, in the form of a future vision on the relationship between social businesses and young professionals. It indicates the boundaries of the solution space and future developments. The future vision describes a collaborative working environment, where support and involvement for every individual are essential. Moreover, personal and organisational development is established by creating independent goals and future expectations for the company and youth alike.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical diagnostic imaging technology characterized by its high cost and infrastructure demands. This makes it unsuitable for implementation in low- and medium-income countries. Its costs are directly related to the strength of the system’s magnetic field. Therefore, an MRI scanning technology dedicated for use in low- and medium-income countries has been developed by Delft University of Technology and Leiden University Medical Center that makes use of a low magnetic field. This low-field technology, that requires a smaller size magnet and yields lower resolution images, is already capable of diagnosing infant hydrocephalus, a frequently occurring condition in sub-Saharan Africa. For a successful implementation, it is crucial that this technology is integrated in an MRI system that adequately addresses challenges within the context of sub-Saharan Africa and is equipped with all necessary functionality to diagnose infants with hydrocephalus. From observations and interviews in the healthcare environment of Uganda, it was found that – in addition to high cost – poor infrastructure and challenges that occur during imaging procedures limit the implementation- and use-potential of current MRI systems and thus can affect the implementation of this new system. Poor pathways and unavailability of forklifts or cranes often cause breakage during installation and transport. Moreover, lack of space in hospitals hinders implementation of large systems that require dedicated, shielded rooms. During imaging, movement of the (infant) patient may affect the image, and often mothers are kept in the imaging room with the patient to calm her. Other challenges for the operation of these systems in this context include heat, humidity, dust, power outages and the presence of pests. A concept of a complete MRI system that integrates the developed technology and addresses these challenges is designed. This MRI system enables an ergonomic and safe operation, facilitates safe and comfortable insertion and removal of the patient from the machine, and allows mothers and operators to remain close and in visual contact with the patient. The entire concept takes up no more than 3 m2, can be installed in any room with a power socket and features a plug and play installation. It can be carried over rough pathways without the need for a forklift or crane. Furthermore, the concept features a bed with sliding mechanism that optimizes the space inside the system, allowing hydrocephalus patients with significant expansion of the head to be imaged. With this concept, the first steps are taken towards implementation of the technology in hospitals in low- and medium-income countries. Through further development and testing in close collaboration with stakeholders, the concept can be optimized to enable diagnosis and treatment of infants with hydrocephalus and eventually many others, and hereby contribute to increasing the (e)quality of healthcare around the world.

This report describes the results of a thesis for PreMal BV, a start-up company that develops mosquito traps. It is the companies mission to capture anopheles mosquitoes before they can bite and contribute to reducing malaria transmission in Africa and other malaria zones around the world. To be able to achieve their goal, PreMal aims to implement high numbers of traps in the field. This project has been initiated to assist PreMal in their journey towards implementing their mosquito traps as an add-on product to the Solar Home System (SHS) market. Next to PreMal, SolarWorks! (SW) is the second party connected to this project. This is a SHS distributor that was established in The Netherlands but operates in Mozambique and Malawi, both Sub-Saharan African countries. PreMal partnered-up with SW for the promotion, sales, distribution, and support of their products. This way PreMal gained access to a wide, growing, target group of people that could benefit from their product. The challenging part of this project was to design a Product-Service-System that was able to connect the two main stakeholders in their wishes and needs while at the same time staying customer centered. To be able to design this system, desk and field research was conducted and literature was supported with field work findings to build a stable framework to build upon. During the desk research phase information was gathered about SHS, SW, the BoP customer, PAYG-payment models, and PSS. Main findings include that a PSS with a PAYG payment model would suit both the distributing company and the customer. While during field research in Malawi the key findings that arose were related to practical manners such as when people would be able to pay for a product, how they would prefer to pick-up sachets and how the promotion and sales process of the product could look like. The decisions that had to be made in the design phase were backed by arguments from the desk and field research phases. The PSS that was developed could be divided in six elements that cover the journey of the MTego mosquito trap from development through distribution and use, towards end-of-life. Key decisions were that the product will be sold mainly in a package with a SHS, that odour sachets must be picked up in the stores of SW, that PAYG services will be used to offer contract periods of up to 18 months, and that people that already own a SHS have the ability to buy the product separately with a short, 6-month PAYG-contract. This report concludes with recommendations for further research that include reducing the price of the product to reach a bigger target audience, developing a smaller and cheaper edition of the MTego for inside use, and research into the best way to create mosquito-free zones in rural communities.

The central goal of this master thesis is to improve the product communication of local SMEs in low-wage markets, by improving the advisory support given to these SMEs by BoP Innovation Center (BoPInc). BoPInc provides two-day trainings to support the SMEs on innovating their marketing and distribution. Currently, the SMEs are challenged by the implementation process of the training outcomes. The goal of this assignment was to improve the process of implementing the training outcomes.First, the current advisory support process and the training tools of BoPInc were analysed to identify the main changes that need to be made within the process. Two solution spaces were identified for which additional literature has been found. This literature address these solution spaces. To include more explicit insights into the training, the Cultura wheel (Hao, van Boeijen, & Jan Stappers, 2017) has been used. To create more practical outcomes of the training, Storytelling has been included. Both theories were reviewed, and together with the BoPInc knowledge taken towards the next phase of this project.During a Case study, this knowledge was combined and used to design a communication plan for an Ugandan SME that designs, produces and markets clean cooking stoves. During a three week full immersion, the cultural context, end user, current usage and current interactions were explored. These insights were structured and formed the desired interaction. Finally, a communication plan was designed. This communication plan targets low income peri-urban women during their community group meetings.The communication materials were designed with the use of Storytelling, while the insights were included in this design by using the Cultura wheel. Reflecting on the overall process, this thesis resulted in starting point of advice for BoPInc on the improvement of its current trainings. Two canvases were designed, a Cultura Canvas and a Storytelling Canvas. Together they create more practical outcomes of the trainings, while including insights of the cultural context.

▼ This report is the result of a graduation project in the domain of the Africa Market Entry for a Trypanosomiasis Diagnostic Device. The project aims to find promising ways to bring to the market a portable diagnostic device for Trypanosomiasis, developed by the company Aidx Medical BV. The context of T. African Animal Trypanosomiasis (AAT) is a vector-borne parasitic disease. It is caused by infection with protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Trypanosoma. They are transmitted to animals & humans by tsetse fly bites which have acquired their infection from parasitaemic mammalian host. AAT is a major constraint to socio-economic development in Africa. AAT has significantly reduce productivity in over 150 million cattle and 260 million sheep and goats (Jahnke, Tacher, Kiel, & Rojat, 1988), and it is estimated to cause annual losses of more than US$ 4.5 billion dollars through direct and indirect agricultural production losses (Yaro, Munyard, Stear, & Groth, 2016). There are many barriers that complicates the access of trypanosomiasis (T) diagnostics and treatment such as lack of confirmatory test, large distances, limited trained staff and lack of laboratories facilities. The diagnosis of T is notoriously difficult, because the clinical signs are similar to other cattle diseases. Likewise, the only way to confirm a diagnosis is to demonstrate and identify parasites in body fluid. The current diagnostic practices require staff with strong proficiency and expertise, which the limits the reliability of the test. In addition, diagnostic technique for routine veterinary purposes is only suitable if it is cost-efficient. Therefore, there is a need for the new diagnostic test requiring minimum training, inexpensive and should provide rapid and reliable results. Business Modeling According to the research, the device had a strong value proposition on the market. Several business model prototypes were created and tested in a field trip to Uganda. In the field trip, it was discovered that the current technique of introducing medical devices (ex. microscopes) and drugs was through an intermediary. This intermediary may be a chain of pharmacies or a device seller that needs to be certified by the government to distribute and sell the devices or drugs. The intermediary takes also charge of the promotion and distribution of the product. The business model prototypes were redesigned with the new set of information. After an evaluation with the company, the most promising scenario was selected according to their aim, strengths and weakness. The main value of the company is to develop and manufacture an automatic diagnostic device for thick bone diseases that an unprofessional person can do a rapid and reliable diagnosis on the field. The customer segment is the government, because they are the largest employer in veterinary services delivery. The distribution channel will be through intermediaries, because they have a deep understand of the local market. As well, the company does not need a large capital investment on… Advisors/Committee Members: Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), Brouwer, Willemijn (mentor), Vendel, Mirte (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

Schistosomiasis is an intravascular infection with major public health consequences in developing countries. It is one of the major Neglected Tropical Diseases with more than 240 million people infected and 800 million people at risk in 2015, mostly in sub-Saharan Africa. It is caused by trematode parasites of the genus Schistosoma, in this report the focus was on Schistosomiasis Haematobium since it is the most prevalent form of the disease. One of the limiting factors of the control program is the standard diagnostic procedure set by World Health Organization, which is based on counting the parasite's eggs in a person's urine. Examination by microscopy requires the use of expensive microscopes, is prone to human errors and inconsistency, is time consuming, and uses filters which are often not available. The research objective was identified from these shortcomings: "Develop a low-cost, smart diagnostic method for Schistosomiasis Haematobium based on detecting eggs in urine by combining lensless imaging and flow cytometry, and developing Artificial Intelligence models for automated detection." In-line planar wavefront digital holography was identified as the most suitable lensless imaging method. A sample will be analyzed by the following repetitive procedure: (1)mechanically press the piston of a syringe by a small volume, (2)wait for the flow to stop, (3)record a hologram, (4)detect eggs. The implemented egg detection procedure consisted of a series of image processing algorithms: (1)apply Foreground detection, (2)localize the moving objects with a Blob detector, (3)locally reconstruct the hologram at the found locations, (4)classify the reconstruction as egg or not egg. The imaging method provided accurate reconstructions of eggs and the object detection algorithm was able to locate moving objects with sufficient accuracy and computational time. On the other hand, the lab and field tests showed that the data set of the classifier did not contain enough images to train a generalized model and that the local reconstruction and classification takes increasingly more time during analysis. As of now the method is an order of magnitude slower than an expert microscopist. The diagnostic method is not yet able fulfill the research objective. However, there are some promising aspects such as the low-cost imaging method, fast object detection algorithm, and absence of sample preparation which makes further research worthwhile.

▼ For this thesis, the focus is on aQysta’s Barsha pump. aQysta is a Dutch start-up that develops hydro- powered water pumps for irrigation purposes. The Barsha pump uses the kinetic energy of water flowing through rivers to pump water to smallholder farmland for irrigation. The pump requires no external power source and all the energy required comes directly from the flow of the river. It is therefore a highly sustainable alternative to the currently used pumps, using fuel or diesel as a power source. These traditional pumps create greenhouse gas emissions and high operating costs for farmers. The aim of this thesis is to research and design a Product Service System (PSS) around the Barsha pump. Through a thorough desk research, threats and opportunities for the business model were identified. The main complication was identified to be the fact that farmers do not have a desire to use a sustainable pump if the investment costs are high. Therefore, the PSS should solve this matter by making it more affordable for farmers to buy such a pump. As there are no operational costs when using the Barsha, the PSS can focus purely on the overcoming the high initial costs. Additionally, the opportunity of implementing a PSS for the Barsha pump was critically analysed. The attitude of the customers towards the service system as well as the simplicity of the service system are critical. If the system is too complicated, farmers are reluctant to use this and the chance of aQysta implementing it reduces significantly. Furthermore, the governmental subsidies for agriculture should be taken into account as this is a great opportunity to overcome the high initial costs. However, these subsidies also create a threat as they cause the farmers to be conceited and no longer willing to pay for any form of service or product. Fieldwork was performed locally in Nepal to gather data and experiences from the different stakeholders: farmers, the government and possible partners. By communicating with people locally, further opportunities and complications were identified. It was verified that farmers are in great need of financial support for covering the upfront costs. Furthermore, it was identified that the farmers desire training about farming and need a connection with the market. A good designed PSS could help by delivering this. The fieldwork determined the feasibility of a PSS for the Barsha pump and with the gained knowledge two designs were made. The concept design, Barsha Basecamp was validated by aQysta out of which the final design: Barsha Summit derived. A result-oriented PSS, where aQysta is responsible for the whole value chain and offers farmers a guaranteed income. The conclusion of this thesis is that the ideal PSS, which is one that makes profit and creates impact on society, does not exist for this case. Also, too many variables exist which makes it too complex to stick to only one business model. The final design for this thesis is a sustainable business model that works well in theory,… Advisors/Committee Members: Carel%22%29&pagesize-30">Diehl, Jan-Carel (mentor), Baldassarre, Brian (graduation committee), Intriago Zambrano, Juan Carlo (graduation committee), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

This project is a collaborative effort between graduating student Johan van der Schaaf from Delft University of Technology, BoP Innovation Center and client organization Mhogo Foods. The project is conducted mainly in Nairobi, Kenya and focuses on building a marketing pilot for Mhogo Foods to increase access to nutrition in low-income markets. The project taps into the challenge of marketing nutrition and the difficulty of measuring effectiveness of marketing campaigns. After a short literature study and 15 interviews with the target audience that provided several insights, a design-led approach was used to create a tag line that resonates with the target audience. The combined insights resulted in a tag line that formed the key message of the campaign: ‘Mlo Wetu Halisi’ (in English: ‘Eating, in our traditional way’). The design-led approach turned out to be helpful in targeting the message to the preferences of the target audience and ensuring the tag line is inclusive. During implementation of the campaign, all materials and interventions were based on the predefined key message. The implementation of the campaign consisted of a mix of proven offline activities to gain the first market traction with digital experiments to explore new marketing opportunities. The digital experiments consisted of streaming recipe videos through Wi-Fi platforms on local buses and distributing digital coupons through several digital channels that could be redeemed at local shops. During the campaign, different digital channels were tested through the digital coupon program. An initial setup, where coupons would be distributed through Facebook, Whatsapp and the Wi-Fi platforms on buses highlighted the challenge of reaching customers through the digital channels while also educating them on the program. A second iteration, consisting of a hybrid between offline and online channels, resulted in more tangible data, with customers showing understanding and interest in the coupon program. An additional key insight was that the Wi-Fi platforms turned out to be the only digital channel that could both reach the target audience and keep the attention span of consumers for a prolonged period of time. Finally, a tool is presented that can be used in future marketing pilots to assist in building the campaign and in designing strategies for measuring effectiveness of digital channels.

This report describes the process of the graduation project: ‘Surfboard as a Service: a novel kitesurfing experience’, which was carried out from February to September 2019. The assignment of the project is to design a custom Product-as-a-Service (PaaS) concept for Appletree Surfboards, which: reduces environmental impact, benefits the company and its products, and gives the end-users (wave kitesurfers) a great experience. In the beginning of the project, research is done about the current context. Company activities and product properties that already contribute to sustainability are investigated, Besides, the theory behind sustainable models is consulted. After this orientation, some targeted exploration is done. Takeaways from interesting company cases and results from interviews with eight wave kitesurfers, result in the distinction of three different end-user groups and inspiration for idea development. Ideation is then started and the first structural PaaS model ideas are developed. One of these ideas is chosen for further development. This decision leads to a focus on the end-user group of ‘potential customers that want to try out Appletree boards before acquiring one’. This direction leads to a certain model construction and the development of a board trial service. Two trial structures are then elaborated into two different concepts, with a different aim on experience, interaction and intended behavior. Findings from a extensive user test with ten participants, result in a final design proposal. The best of two concepts is merged together, and the last adjustments are made. The final design consist of a trial service and a PaaS-lease service, that can be set up alongside the company’s current activities. The last part of this report describes the features of the final design and presents a few additional elaborations. Recommendations for further development and suggestions for implementation are provided as well. Finally, there will be discussed how the design may contribute to wave kiters, Appletree and sustainability.

Large scale, highly sensitive and specific diagnostic tools are needed to eliminate the transmission of schistosomiasis. This report expands upon the novel approach from M. Hoeboer and P.M. Nijman. Their Smart Optical Diagnostic Of Schistosomiasis device (SODOS), combining the principles of flow cytometry and digital holography, was able to detect schistosomiasis haematobium eggs in a 10 ml urine sample. However the mechanical complexity made it difficult to control the flow and more than 650 frames needed to be processed for each sample. The reason for this was the small flow cell volume examined within each frame. This report shows it is possible to increase the volume while maintaining the required resolution for accurate diagnosis. The size of the volume is limited by the sensor’s pixel pitch, the sensor area, the shutter time of the sensor, the thickness of the volume, the density of particles and to a lesser extent the distance of the volume to the sensor and the wavelength of the source. The density of particles in combination with the thickness of the volume proved to be the main limiting factors. With to many particles the scattered light causes a cloudy, speckle pattern on the sensor, which does not give the desired resolution upon reconstruction. By using a 24MP APSC CMOS colour sensor, present in the Canon EOS M50 camera, in combination with a larger volume it was possible to reconstruct eggs throughout 1.5 ml of urine using a single frame, decreasing the total required number of frames to 7. The volume thickness was 5 mm. Increasing the thickness to analyse the required 10 ml of urine in a single frame was not feasible due to scattering. However when immersing the eggs in a Phosphatebuffered saline solution a 14 ml volume, with a thickness of 43 mm, could be analysed successfully, showing the possibilities of implementing the technique in other fields as well. The Fraunhofer particle field holography theory proved to be a valid model when making predictions regarding the resolution throughout the volume as well as providing information on the axial position of the particles.
