Case study
'Designing a life-changing service, led by local communities'


Across the world, humanitarian organisations are under pressure due to increasing numbers of disaster management responses. As a result, they must find new ways to scale up their impact. The American Red Cross partnered with frog to explore the application of IoT interventions in urban slums.

This project focused on connected heat sensors that reduce the frequency and devastation of shack fires in urban slums. With the use of community-centric design ideas were generated and alternatives evaluated alongside local community members by iteratively building on the previous phase in order to give form to the service system and business model.

This case study will cover the service design process, the challenges in this unique market creation scenario, the results, as well as the lessons learned.
