Catapult Design leverages design to research, test and create innovative, accessible solutions

Catapult Design is a non-profit product and service design firm that works with socially driven organizations to build forward-looking, accessible, and market-based products and services that give low-income and underserved people reliable tools to improve their quality of life. Its team of designers, engineers, and business specialists dedicated to creating solutions to social problems with people and planet at the forefront.

Too often, health innovations are driven by scientific breakthroughs addressing the health contexts of global minority communities. These innovations are then deployed in global majority countries without considering the communities’ values, priorities, cultures, and needs. The Gates Foundation’s Gender Equality Data & Insights (GE D&I) Division understands that its strategy and investments around innovations will be more impactful by engaging women and girls in global majority communities in the decision-making processes early and often. 

Through this initial pilot, Catapult Design, in collaboration with Design Partners across Africa, will facilitate Design Labs aimed at testing ideas and establishing a mechanism for continued engagement with women representing priority Pathways segments. The OKF is being used to set up a platform that enables teams across various countries to work collaboratively to share raw research data, highlight key findings and to share synthesized insights along with access to the raw data. The platform is also shared with various stakeholders in the GE D&I division who are able to then peruse and process the insights, findings, and raw data in various forms to help them identify opportunity areas for future innovations impacting women's and girls' health.

Features and integrations

Custom Templates for Data Upload

Configurable templates allow for custom forms for each research team to have their own structure to upload transcripts and media albeit with a unifying tag architecture

Collaborative Annotation

Configured tag systems allow team members across geographies to collaborate on uploaded transcripts to complete annotation and highlight key quotes 

Data Review System

Ensure data quality through a system for reviewing content by submitting for review, reviewer comments and review dashboards

Role Based Access

Allows the Catapult team to control access such that the data is secure from non-project users, and also to separate access between research teams as required

Analysis Views & Collection Pages

Have been used to help guide a user through various levels of synthesized data, and to be able to explore all the annotations with a range of cross cutting filters 

AI Q&A

Supports users to query the dataset ensuring precise answers without hallucinations or external data interference, while keeping the data secure

Platform interventions

Research Across Geographies

Research is managed across the three countries and teams supporting standardisation of the data through structuring even where the qualitative research is open ended and country specific

Export to Miro

As teams across countries and regions collaborate on analysis of the data on Miro, annotated data is exported directly into Miro to fit seamlessly into the existing research process and tools

Current Status

The initial pilot immersion has been completed in Nigeria, and will now be replicated in Senegal and Kenya with talks to expand the project and integrate with ongoing efforts to better understand vulnerability and needs across populations.
