• The design process, divided into the method and the outcome. The first focalizes on how the design phase was structured by taking into account the learning from the different research studies mentioned before. Within the method there are the synopsis of all the process, the formulation of the requirements and finally possible development suggestions from other fields of study. The outcome part summarizes the project as a handbook on the functioning of the tent.

As a conclusion for this work is included a short comics story depicting the idea at the root of the thesis (i.e. the intervention in a new Ebola virus disease epidemic).
