Find  a  Target  Market  

•  What  is  the  core  value  that  you’re  producing?    E.g.  to  make  it  easier  to  form  a  healthy  habit  

•  What  is  the  pain  that  they  are  experiencing?    E.g.  They  have  to  track  some  things  in  a  diary.  They  stop  using      their  wearable  device  within  a  month.  They  don’t  have  the      knowledge  of  health  to  achieve  their  goal  on  their  own  

•  How  can  my  idea  or  technology  solve  that  pain?

Design  is  crucial  

•  Incredibly  important  in  health  &  fitness  •  People  demand  good  experiences  •  The  harder  it  is  to  use,  the  fewer  people  will  use  it  

•  Tracking  is  by  nature  hard.  Make  it  as  simple  as  possible
