Problem

The global prevalence of 2.5 million documented cases of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) underscores a pressing challenge in healthcare. MS, characterized by the immune system's heightened response to Myelin, adversely affects the nerve system, leading to the breakdown of Myelin nerves. Despite the absence of a definitive cure, the proliferation of medications to mitigate the risk of new attacks is notable. However, a critical issue arises concerning the substantial and sometimes disproportionate side effects associated with these medications, overshadowing their efficacy. Compelling data indicate that patients often exhibit improved responses to non-pharmacological interventions such as massages and physical therapy. This intricate landscape highlights the need for a product design initiative that addresses the limitations of current MS treatments, aiming to enhance efficacy while minimizing adverse effects, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being of MS patients.

Solution

In response to the complex challenges faced by the individuals globally affected by Multiple Sclerosis, we propose a solution through the development of an innovative massage device. While the array of medications designed to mitigate new attack risks is expanding, a significant hurdle arises from the often severe side effects that surpass the actual effectiveness of these treatments. Acknowledging the positive response of MS patients to massages and physical therapy, our product design project aims to create a specialized massage device. This device seeks to provide a non-pharmacological intervention, offering targeted relief and support to MS patients, thereby enhancing their overall well-being. Through this initiative, we aspire to introduce a breakthrough solution that addresses the limitations of current treatments, prioritizing effectiveness, comfort, and improved quality of life for individuals living with MS.
