  • Description: <jats:p>This document is the result of the implementation of the Desing Thinking and Lean Startup methodology in a software development project, carried out by students at the Technological University of Nezahualcóyotl, in order to promote entrepreneurship. Students were guided through each phase of the methodology, with incremental results. It began by determining a real problem, from a real user, later a solution proposal was made, which was implemented, until reaching a real and feasible product. The product developed is a web application for adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17, with diabetes problems and who have no control over the disease, which can exacerbate it. Within the school period several projects were carried out, but this one was taken as an illustrative case and emphasizing that an idea can be turned into a product or service and that it can be marketable. For which the students also made the Business Plan, which will not be presented due to space issues.</jats:p>
