Week 7: Turning Memories into a Lasting Legacy

This week, we focused on creating a clear example of how our solution can help people preserve cherished memories while letting go of sentimental family items.

Scenario Overview

Our solution focuses on Ronit, a 58-year-old woman who recently lost her mother. Faced with the emotional and practical challenge of clearing her childhood home, Ronit struggles to let go of items that hold deep sentimental value.

Using our proposed solution—an easy-to-use app with features like 3D scanning, memory preservation, and emotional support—Ronit can organize, document, and reflect on her mother’s belongings in a meaningful way.

How It Works

1. Getting Started:Ronit opens the app, which helps her set goals and expectations for the process. She also gets personalized tips on how to manage both the emotional and practical sides of sorting through her mother’s items.

2. Documenting Memories:She uses the app to scan or photograph items, such as a teapot, and answer simple questions about their significance. She can also record related stories or sounds to keep the memories alive.

3. Emotional Support:After each session, the app provides gentle encouragement and suggestions on how to honor her memories.

4. Accessing Memories Anytime:Once the items and stories are saved, Ronit can revisit her mother’s legacy anytime through her phone or computer, keeping those special moments close.

Looking Ahead

This scenario helps us imagine how the solution will work and how it can make a difficult process more positive and meaningful. Next, we’ll continue to refine the experience and explore how to bring this idea into real-world testing.

Stay tuned for Week 8 as we continue building this solution!
