Whether shaken, caught, thrown, squeezed or stroked: Ichó, the interactive ball for everyday care and rehab, recognises every movement. The ball responds with coloured light, vibration, sound and music. In this way, people with cognitive and motor impairments are supported and activated. Ichó is the new, individual and intelligent companion in everyday care.

Strategy

In a workshop with the founders of Ichó, we work out not only the goals and benefits of the product but also the stakeholders and user stories, so that the results can feed into the development of an innovative corporate design and a consistent customer experience.

Workshop

In the joint workshop, the core target group was defined, comprising doctors, therapists, nursing staff in elderly and hospital care, and relatives of patients.

„Arndtteunissen achieves what many fail to do. They find the right communication and unite various, mostly ambivalent requirements for our product. This is only possible because Arndtteunissen independently and repeatedly immerses itself in the products and target groups.“
Steffen Preuss, Managing Director of Ichó

Digital

Thanks to software developed specially for this purpose, seniors and patients can experience communication anew and learn it (again) with Ichó. The young and successful start-up Ichó Systems GmbH has been honoured, among others, by the initiative „Deutschland – Land der Ideen“.

A well-rounded design concept

The new corporate design is intended to give the young start-up a consistent yet distinctive appearance that conveys the company's innovative strength and the interactivity of the Ichó ball. To this end, the key visual of the design directly picks up the ball's functionalities. In this way, the target group should have a consistent customer experience – from packaging to use.

Imagery

The appearance reflects the different uses of the Ichó ball. Its luminous colours are therefore also used for the visual language.

Business stationery

With its corporate design, ichó creates a visual world that immediately stands out from the look of other therapeutic applications in the mostly visually sober everyday care environment. Playful. Harmonious. Multifaceted.

Packaging

The packaging is individually tailored to the Ichó ball and its needs. During design and production, particular attention was paid to ensuring that the packaging is shockproof and that the product can be shipped safely.

Production

In addition to the concept and design of the packaging, we also supervised production and took care of quality assurance.
