As a global design consultancy, IDEO is constantly looking for opportunities to have positive social impact and to help companies create innovative solutions, such as products, services, spaces, and interactive experiences.
Anyone can create innovation and design, – anywhere. As someone with Multiple Sclerosis, you know best what the challenges are you face daily. Have you ever wished a certain item existed that could make your life easier? This could be the first step towards innovation! You don’t need to be a trained Designer to think of an idea that could be helpful for you and the other members of the MS community.
Do you need guidance to come up with ideas? Take a look at the quick start guide for Your Innovation! This short video lives on the entries page of the Real MS website. It will ask you to think of typical activities at home, while traveling, moving in public places, or shopping. What are products or gadgets that might help a person with MS in these situations? It’s a simple way to start thinking and to spark your very own creativity!
There is so much that can be done, and you can make a difference.
We can’t wait to see your ideas!
