Assignment 01 / Future Product

User Persona A[Daniel “Dr. Sexy” Rodriguez, 32 / Compassionate Doctor]

Assignment 02 / User Persona Research

Frustrations- Lack of time/cost efficient scanning equipment- Emotional stress from late stage cancer patients- Inefficient allocation of hospital resourcesGoals- Detecting early stages of cancer more effectively resulting in happier patients- Cost efficient scanning equipments allowing efficient hospital allocations- Have safe and noninvasive imaging techniques without radiation exposure

Assignment 02 / User Persona Research

User Persona B[Stephanie Bellin, 39 / Busy Homemaker]

Frustrations- Worried of having genetic disposition of cancer- Doesn't have financial resources to pay for diagnostic scans- Fears radiation exposure from scanning technologyGoals- Check for early stages of cancer- Pay less for diagnostic scans- Wishes for a noninvasive imaging technique without radiation
