Recap & Storyboarding
I’ve gone back and refined my user persona, pains and gains now that I have a decent amount of primary and secondary research under my belt:
The Elevator Pitch: Mary is able to lose weight and reach her fitness goals with the aid of an AI health coach who motivates and holds her accountable by teaming her up with another individual on the same health journey.
With that mapped out I have also revisited my product fit

Some sketches on the interaction between coach and user:
I’ve been trying a lot of health apps, and I enjoy how Lark has quick reply bubbles at the bottom for the user to click instead of typing everything. Lark has that exclusively, but I would like to allow the user to type whatever they want when appropriate as shown above.

Amy: 5'4"
Coach: Alright, And how much do you currently weigh?
Amy: 150
Coach: Do you currently have any medical issues you are dealing with?
Amy: ….
