Exploring Co-design with Breastfeeding Mothers

Explore the challenges and insights of co-designing mobile applications for breastfeeding mothers in this 22-minute conference talk from the ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. Delve into the development process of the Milk Matters mobile app, designed to encourage breast milk donation. Compare various research methodologies, including workshops, surveys, and cultural probes, to gain a deeper understanding of mothers' needs. Discover three crucial factors for effective co-design with breastfeeding mothers: managing interrupted interactions, considering elements that may distract babies, and empowering mothers through positive reinforcement. Learn valuable strategies to enhance future research and design processes involving breastfeeding mothers, based on the experiences shared by the presenters.
