Questions about a Redesign of the Epi-Pen for a University project
Hi everyone, We are a group of students from the University of Glasgow who are working on a project about designing a new Epi-Pen for people with severe allergies. We are interested in learning more about what problems people face with the current design of the Epi-Pen. We have some questions you can hopefully answer: How often do you use or carry an Epi-Pen?
How easy or difficult was it for you to use the Epi-Pen in an emergency situation?
Do you always carry your Epi-Pen with you? If not, why not?
Have you ever experienced any problems or challenges with using an Epi-Pen?
What are your thoughts on the current size and shape of the Epi-Pen? Is it too big, too small, or just right?
How important is the cost of an Epi-Pen to you? Are you willing to pay more for a smaller or more convenient design?
Would you like for your EpiPen to be personalized?
Would you be interested in an Epi-Pen that is reusable or refillable?
What other features would you like to see in an Epi-Pen? For example, a longer shelf life, more dosage options, notifying your GP whenever EpiPen is used.
How likely are you to switch to a different brand of Epi-Pen if it were smaller and more convenient to use?
Thank you so much for your time! Some Pictures of our design: https://imgur.com/a/bAXJ3Mz
