The Problem

• Body is ambiguous
• We dont know exactly what is going on
• We dont know our current health status until it
  is often too late
• Limited feedback- doctors check ups only once per
  year
• We dont know if the treatments we are taking are
  effective

The Intervention

What we Found

• It is difficult to always think about your long
  term health and its easiest to do what feels best
  for you body at the current point. I could
  change things, but its a trade-off should I
  always be worrying about health if I dont know
  if it is even worth it? If I do make healthier
  changes how do I know if I am necessarily going
  to better off in the long run?- Kelsey Mesher
• I feel very little motivation to be healthy
  because I have no idea what is going on in my
  body-

• In response to life expectancy test
• If you become a conditioning exerciser, your life
  expectancy would be 3.32 years longer
• If all of the above choices are adopted, your
  life expectancy would be 5.81 years longer
• I should be more healthy. I guess Ive always
  wanted to be more active. It makes me want to
  change it.- Davin K.
• In response to a proposal of our product
• Youd be more aware of what you need to improve
  about yourself. Right now I dont know my
  cholesterol level, so I go around ignorant I
  guess if I had this information I could better
  plan my day-to-day activities.- Jen R.
