<p>For our educational videos, we included written text and visuals over the speech to ensure the content is accessible to those who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as individuals who may have difficulty understanding spoken language.

<h3>Promotion video and booklet</h3>
<p>Global outreach was a key priority for us, as we aimed to make our content accessible to people from all over the world. To achieve this, we translated our booklet into four of the most widely spoken languages: Chinese, Arabic, English, and French, and also created accompanying audiobooks in these languages.</p>
<p>Additionally, we expanded our efforts to make our promotion video available in five languages—Chinese, Arabic, English, French, and Dutch—further broadening our reach. By making our educational content available in multiple languages, we emphasize the importance of inclusivity and ensure that people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds can participate in and benefit from our project.</p>

<h3>Hardware design</h3>
<p>To ensure that our hardware design catered to different cultural backgrounds, we developed two distinct devices to accommodate the preferences and needs of diverse users.</p>
<p>For our Asian audience, we created a scented bag, inspired by the cultural significance of scented sachets, particularly in Chinese culture. These sachets, often filled with aromatic herbs, are deeply rooted in tradition, symbolizing health, protection, and good fortune. This made the scented bag design a culturally relevant and familiar choice for users in Asia, where such items are frequently used in daily life and traditional festivals. By incorporating this design, we aimed to blend our scientific solution with cultural practices, making it more acceptable and attractive for users in these regions.</p>
<p>At the same time, to accommodate users outside of Asia or anyone who prefers a more discreet and modern option, we designed a bracelet. This allows the device to be more inconspicuous and seamlessly integrated into daily wear, making it both practical and stylish. The bracelet caters to those who may prefer a more subtle solution.</p>
<p>By offering two distinct designs, we ensure that our hardware is not only functional but also resonates with the cultural and aesthetic preferences of our global audience.</p>
<p>We conducted interviews with individuals from diverse regions to gain insights into how the illness manifests across different populations. Among our interviewees were Ms. Zheng and Mr. Zao from Asia, as well as Mrs. Sara Levitt from Canada and Mrs. Lenette from the USA. These conversations helped us understand the unique experiences and challenges faced by people in different geographical areas. Additionally, we shared our survey on international platforms, allowing participants from around the globe to contribute their responses, providing us with a broader perspective on the global impact of the illness.</p>
