Week 3

Hey Friends! As you can remember from our previous blog posts - We decided we wanna try and find a solution for people who suffer from panic attacks. We did a week of research which included 3 different interviews with people who suffer from panic attacks and alot of reading about this illness. This week of research has made us realy un certain about the topic that we chose to handle, panic attacks seemed like a realy hard topic for us to crack with a tech solution. We learned that alot of people who suffer from panic attacks don't realy wanna help themselfs because the nature of the illness as it comes and goes. So on the class on Sunday we decided to make a swift turn and abandon the panic attacks topic and find new one! We figured that we have enough time and it would be better if we all like the idea and feel that we can help. So after a brief discussion about our options we decided to get back to the ALS illness which we spoke about the first week. We had to start all the research process from the begining including the interviews and academic research. We contacted Giora which is a therapist who helps Tom who suffer from ALS. We had alot of questions about the illness as it is unknown for most of our team. At the same time we researched through the internet reading alot from academic journals about ALS and its treatment. Hopefully now that we have a new topic everything will start falling in to its place and get along!
