BARCELONA, Espanha, 26 de fevereiro de 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A GSMA, com os parceiros Qtel Group, USAID e AusAID, anunciaram hoje os vencedores do Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA (GSMA mWomen Design Challenge), que pretende redefinir a experiência do usuário de smartphone para as mulheres com poucos recursos em mercados emergentes.

O CEO do Qtel Group Dr. Nasser Marafih entregou o Grande Prêmio de US$ 20.000 para Jeremy Canfield, Sarah Fathallah e Angel Kittiyachavalit por seu design "Sahel Shake", em uma cerimônia hoje no Mobile World Congress 2013. O segundo lugar, com um prêmio de US$ 10.000, foi concedido a Aloke Pillai do Programa de Design York Sheridan por "mpower". O Prêmio Revelação de US$ 10.000, que é reservado a uma inscrição dos mercados emergentes para assegurar que os empreendedores sejam capazes de competir ao lado de empresas de design profissionais, foi concedido a Rafael Mutiso do Quênia por sua inscrição "Interface simplificada eficiente de escala de cinza de energia".

"O padrão de inscrições foi extremamente alto, mas as apresentações vencedoras foram notáveis e nós sinceramente felicitamos a todos", disse Chris Locke, diretor executivo, GSMA Mobile for Development e membro da comissão julgadora do Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA. "Projetar para as necessidades específicas de consumidores com poucos recursos é vital para aumentar o acesso a benefícios sociais móveis, bem como aumentar o valor comercial para a indústria móvel."

O Dr. Nasser Marafih, CEO do Qtel Group, disse na apresentação do Grande Prêmio: "Estamos muito satisfeitos por participar do Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA, que tem por objetivo tratar de questões técnicas para a alfabetização de comunidades carentes ao redor do mundo. A energia, criatividade e inovação demonstradas por todos os participantes são uma inspiração e acreditamos que os trabalhos vencedores irão desempenhar um papel vital, enriquecendo a vida das mulheres em um futuro próximo. Nossos parabéns aos vencedores e os nossos agradecimentos vão para a GSMA e todos os parceiros pelo seu apoio a esta competição. Esperamos explorar a oportunidade de trazer essas inovações ao mercado."

A equipe que recebeu o grande prêmio, Jeremy Canfield, Sarah Fathallah e Angel Kittiyachavali, afirmou: "Estamos entusiasmados com a oportunidade de compartilhar este design com os participantes do Mobile World Congress, bem como uma ampla audiência. Queremos agradecer especialmente à GSMA mWomen, Qtel Group, USAID e AusAID. Como designers, é sempre um privilégio compartilharmos nosso trabalho nesse tipo de plataforma e termos a oportunidade de dar vida a esse design."

A diretora de inovação e conselheira sênior da USAID Maura O'Neill observou que, "lançamo-nos ao Desafio de Design para colaborar com as melhores ideias para reimaginar como as mulheres se envolvem com as tecnologias móveis. Nossos sinceros parabéns aos vencedores. Estamos ansiosos para ver seus designs catalisarem a indústria e iluminarem um novo movimento que atenda as necessidades de mobilidade das mulheres de toda parte."

Nos mercados emergentes, os telefones de recursos básicos de voz e SMS são atualmente o padrão. No entanto, os smartphones deverão proliferar[1] nesses mercados ao longo dos próximos anos, tornando-se o modo principal como as pessoas nos países em desenvolvimento acessarão as informações, a internet e seus benefícios associados. No entanto, há uma lacuna de sexo em relação ao telefone móvel em países de renda baixa a média, onde há 21 por cento a menos de mulheres do que homens com acesso a esta ferramenta que potencialmente melhora a vida das pessoas.

O Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA foi criado para simplificar a interface de usuário do smartphone e ajudar a superar as barreiras de alfabetização técnica e de leitura. Vinte e dois por cento das mulheres pesquisadas no Egito, Índia, Papua Nova Guiné e Uganda que não usam celulares dizem que não o fazem por não saberem como fazê-lo.

"A equipe do Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA agradece o apoio dos parceiros Skipso e Small Surfaces na implementação da competição", continuou Locke. "É através de um design inteligente e criador que nós, como indústria, podemos trabalhar juntos para ajudar a fechar a diferença entre os sexos quanto à posse de telefone pelas mulheres."

Notas aos Editores
O Desafio de Design mWomen GSMA convidou designers, programadores e inovadores de todos os tipos para que considerassem a experiência de usuários mulheres com poucos recursos e reinventassem uma interface de usuário central de smartphone mais intuitiva e acessível. Quanto mais uma mulher puder usar seu telefone, mais benefícios ela poderá alcançar com os aplicativos, widgets e outras funcionalidades pré-instaladas que podem melhorar a sua vida e de sua família.
