Redesigning the traditional Chinese shoulder pole

I don't think that this is meant to be sold to the poor demographic. I would rather think that this is just applying design principles and the design sprint as an exercise to an untouched piece of technology.

That being said, I could easily imagine some charity that either sells these designs at an extremely (or free) discounted rate to these workers in an effort to relieve back pain and the myriad of other physiological issues the traditional pole yields.

Exactly! This is an exercise in design research. Well composed, well documented, and well presented.

The point of this isn't necessarily to solve pole design it is to explore designing for a specific problem generatively with some domain experts.

This kind of practice can be applied to any given domain or problem and is extremely effective at bringing a team together to build an unify product vision.
