Need Statement

Need Statement

To change behavior of bystanders hesitating to help, there is a need to minimize negative consequences, and make the process of helping intuitive, time efficient, and stress-free, so that experiences of Good Samaritans improve, increasing their trust in the process, further encouraging others to help in future.

Since, we were conducting an open research and did not want to restrict ourselves to any one specific topic, we decided to go forward with the first set of interviews as unstructured- 57 interviews.

Later, after second round of themes development, we also conducted 5 semi-structured interviews


Where we made short notes of things we felt were important and color coded the insights for emotions. Then clustered these interview insights to find themes.
