In healthcare, empathizing with patients could reveal insights into the emotional and practical challenges of managing chronic conditions. By defining these insights clearly, solutions can be developed to make disease management more accessible and less stressful.

The prototype can then be tested with a small group of users to gather feedback on its usability and effectiveness in improving the online shopping experience, leading to further iterations.

Example

For a new educational platform aiming to improve engagement in remote learning, testing might reveal that gamification elements significantly increase student participation.
