5. Co-Design Feedback From
HealthTechHatch.com
 Here is a summary of feedback provided by six
respondents:
 Content:
 Great idea, field is too narrow, fits into Alternative Medicine, needs to add
medication to the program, some information may not be substantiated by
healthfinder.gov and comments about “Trust in God” should not be included
here
 Design:
 Great in English/Spanish, needs to improve the look/field of the App, wellness
program does not fit in here with healthfinder.gov
 The original idea was updated in a few key factors:
 Content:
 Healthfinder.gov provides the information on these 8 simple steps. The user
can make this interactive by choosing to enhance the information/program with
additional facts/medication from his/her doctor or other public information
 We took the “Trust in God” and added a different thing….See example in the
next slide
 Design:
 Improve the look/feel quite a bit
