Proposal for a product to be used for cramps or back pain using sustainable materials

Abstract

The low back pain has become prevalent, affecting the great majority of people and being more common among women. Additionally, women can still have dysmenorrhea, also known as period cramps: a gynecological discomfort that affects roughly 60% of women and can manifest itself in varying degrees of intensity. Treatment using thermal bags is easy, affordable, effective, and does not require the use of medicine for either condition. Thus, using Design Thinking as its methodology, the goal of this project was to create an improved belt that would accommodate a thermal bag while also meeting user comfort needs.
