Hey! My name is Marc Saboya Feliu. I love Lindy Hop dancing, skiing and travelling! I am a 30-year-old design-aholic, hardworker,
and I constantly widen my horizons. I am relentless, and I like defying ambiguity. I want to show to the world that we, as designers, are not the guys who make only good-looking sketches, but the ones that empathize with stakeholders to create solutions that have potential to change societies.
And this portfolio is a glimpse of my journey.

Vivi
The CPR training system to maintain employees’ skills
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
In 2016 in America, 88% of 350.000 victims did not survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Although research says that early CPR can double or triple the chances of survival, 70% of trained people in CPR cannot perform correctly 3 months after the training.
Vivi is the first system to help people maintain effectively their CPR skills

Ideation process
Build. Test. Think. Repeat.
From endless quick user experience prototypes to rough foam mockups, the ideation process was based on quick iterations and user testing.

2 What is the value of collaborative robotics in a microbiology laboratory environment?
In collaboration with
Team members Daan Hekking & Marc Saboya
10 weeks 2017 UmeĂĽ Institute of Design
Redesigning the microbiology laboratory workspace
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
Research methods
Working together with the experts During this 10-week project, we stayed in close relationship with the UmeĂĽ Clinical Microbiology Laboratory to get stakeholders engaged with the process.
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
Wait... What do they do in a medical microbiology laboratory? Medical microbiology focusses on the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases. Medical microbiologists often serve as consultants for physicians, providing identification of pathogens and suggesting treatment options.
REGISTRATION
Samples come in from the hospital or different parts of the region and they are labelled and prepared for analysis
INOCULATION
The sample is spread on agar plates which contains “food� for the bacteria to grow.
INCUBATION
BACTERIAL IDENTIFICATION
SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING
The plates are stored in different enviroments for a period of time so bacteria can grow
Grown bacteria can be identified using, for example, the MALDI-TOF technique
Several antibiotics are tested on the bacteria to identify which one is more effective
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
Insight one
Repetitive and non-intellectual tasks take too much time Repetitive, tasks take up to 49% 1 of a microbiologists time. User research showed us that these tasks, such as inoculation, susceptibility test, preparing, and sample transfering are not the tasks microbiologists prefer to do.

Insight two
Sample quality can be threatened by human factors The microbiologist prioritises quality control. Long exposure to wrong environments can worsen sample quality and slow down bacteria growth. Besides environmental impact, microbiologists work on a small scale and are in need of precise and sensitive instruments.
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
insight three
Plate reading time delays results Manual sample checking for bacteria growth is being done once a day, which takes in total up to 25% of a microbiologists time1. Fully automated systems allow constant sample monitoring, by using HD cameras, but can take up to two hours to deliver a sample2.

insight four
Not all labs can afford fully-automated systems Every clinical microbiology laboratory is different. Based on geographical location, sample productivity varies per lab. Also, most of the laboratories are part of a hospital and are therefore constrainted in space.

Design process
Prototypes Throughout the design process we used prototypes for many different purposes such as understanding better the different contexts, testing sacrificial ideas, role-playing or experiencing degrees of freedom.

Sketches
Sketches especially helped us to understand how can we make a robot that microbiologists trust and are not scared to work in front of it.

Introducing collaborative robotics in the clinical microbiology laboratory Colab is a workstation for clinical microbiologists that allows them to reduce the amount of repetitive tasks and improve the overall quality during inoculation. Colab also gives microbiologists a better insight in bacteria growth during the incubation phase with the help of AI. The Time To Result (TTR) will be reduced and the overall quality of a sample will be improved, which not only benefits the patient due to quicker diagnosis, but also allows the microbiologists to focus on tasks they love to do within their field.

Reducing repetition
Like a ping-pong table, microbiogists assign individual tasks to the robot arms, and they send the task back once they are done inoculating the plates.
Product Design Portfolio 2020 - Marc Saboya Feliu
Colab is a potential tool for all laboratory departments At the moment Colab focusses on inoculation, incubation and prepares slides for microscopic analysis. We believe the two collaborative robots can be deployed at any laboratory environments such as dilution, maldi-TOF analysis, registration and anaerobic spaces
BACTERIAL IDENTIFICATION
REGISTRATION
The rail system could help with bacteria picking, moving them to a tray and add acid for further MALDI-TOF analysis.
The rail system could help with relabelling samples, scanning lab forms etc.
ANAEROBIC WORKSPACE
SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING
anaerobic workspaces are hard to work in, because of the isolation needed. The rail systmem can help with bacteria picking, dillution, inoculation etc.
after incubation, a bacteria needs to be picked, dilluted, inoculated and antibiotics need to be placed. The rail system could assist here.

PHASE 1 UNIFYING BOSCH’S DESIGN LANGUAGE Defining the strategy Together with Jon SommarstrÜm, we analysed the brand and its competitors to better understand their positioning within the market The strategy tools helped to generate a debate between different stakeholders and agreeing on a established direction. Designing the signature By using the common core technique we could gather the most visible features of the brand. this technique allows to create a common design language for each of the product categories of Bosch. Making the language meaningful Understanding the context to build a compelling story that makes sense for the future
