For the Integrated Human Practices, iGEM NYU Abu Dhabi wanted to explore the demands of the possible device buyers. The team approached two potential markets: food vendors in areas where food safety risks are high (Pakistan, Indonesia) and the student body of NYU Abu Dhabi, which is comprised of students from 110 countries and due to the university location tend to travel to places with compromised food safety at least 1-2 times per year. The responses from both surveys were taken into account and the product was shaped to match the demands of the target. <a href="https://2017.igem.org/Team:NYU_Abu_Dhabi/HP/Gold_Integrated">Read more</a> | For the Integrated Human Practices, iGEM NYU Abu Dhabi wanted to explore the demands of the possible device buyers.
