Market Selection Process
We began the market selection process by individually brainstorming markets of interest and then collectively using ranked-choice voting to narrow our field down to four top contenders: athletes, physical therapists, EMTs, and surgeons.
Over the following two weeks we conducted interviews with experts in the aforementioned market groups, and conducted further research on the problem areas they identified. We used association charts to determine the problem spaces we were most interested and able to engage in within each field, and finally used a ranked-choice voting system to decide as a group between improving the accuracy of biosensors for injury prevention in athletes and developing more versatile surgical tools.
After doing more research on the these two topics and presenting the information that we found, we performed a voting procedure that took into account what we want to get out of the project and how likely it will be to obtain that for each of the two topics. After doing this, we found surgical tools was the best path for us to go down.
Once this decision was made, the team looked at different topics we could do with surgical tools. After coming up with several options, we ruled out the ones that were not feasible and voted amongst the remaining options. The outcome of this vote lead us to the decision to look at surgical tools for ACL repair.
