Solving the Problem
I previously explored a number of different problems, identifying different opportunities from such problems or economic and regulatory changes. Having decided to more intently pursue the opportunity concerning the unmet needs of people trying to improve or maintain their health, I formulated a solution. It is unclear whether my solution to the problem is a product or a service, as it is an app.
The solution to the problem described above and more heavily detailed in my previous post is an app that tracks one's calories and donates meals based on calories burned. It allows people to track their calorie intake, while also recording the calories they burn. The donating meals aspect holds people accountable. When maintaining one's own health also benefits others in need, people are more motivated to maintain healthy habits. The app would make money with in-app purchases and advertisements. Donations through the app for the same purpose of feeding the less fortunate would also be a viable aspect to include.

Hey Kira,
ReplyDeleteI think the app can be both a product and a service with the product being the donated meals and the service being the calorie tracking. Although it is a great cause, I am not sure if donating meals is an incentive that would get the masses to remember to use the app. While people care about feeding the hungry, it can be difficult to keep up with services like that which is why so many people quit dieting. If you could provide some kind of incentive for turning on push notifications, I think you could combat this problem. Cool idea!
