Then moving on to a more informed audience during conferences and scientific events (such as the Zika summit and the “Festival Vivant”) where we presented our project in front of the public, generating a constructive discussion. And finally, we did our best at sparking the public’s interest by reaching out to them through polls, both online and on the street. We would like to believe these exchanges resulted in a win-win situation, since both our team and the public learnt a lot from these interactions. </br></br></br></br> |

| + | </br>Since the begining of our work, we thought about the project not only as a scientific innovation but most importantly as a global scenario. We defined every actor that the project would involve and their role, from local administrators to “reservist” citizens. Consequently, we designed the two physical components that make the link between our bioproduced patch and the potential users. The technical and functional specifications have been defined closely to meet the scientific constraints. A great deal of attention was devoted to safety issues, user friendliness, but also to the aesthetics and ergonomics of shapes. We kept in mind the constraints of low cost objects not depending on electric power. We went from sketches to 3D models, to 3D printing, and the outcome was a set of quite functional prototypes. | ||

We made a field analysis to evaluate the needs for our system. After establishing a strong potential demand, we developed our biosilica-based detection patch and mosquito trap, and we set up a complete implementation strategy of our system (e.g: staffing needs, cost, targeted public, competition). We also developed the mapping application that operates in addition to the trapping and analysis system. All along the process, we used the expertise of our three intellectual property law students, and we highly relied on the help of our sponsors, to whom we frequently pitched ideas and presented our project, and who gave us the financial support we needed to complete our project. </br></br></br></br> |
