With my venture being an app that is used primarily as an
information source for those seeking medical advice in a variety of situations
there are often a large amount of other options useable. Many people have a
very ingrained defense mechanism in their minds that causes them to act in
certain ways and do specific things when caring for themselves and others in
medical situations.
The three people I decided to interview all had a common
view point on how to deal with medical emergencies. I introduced my venture to
them and each one was initially skeptical as it is instinct for humans cling to
others in times of need, however, after more explanation of the basis of my app
all three people realized that with carefully worded questions and a well set
up UI it can greatly decrease the time in which it takes people to assess
medical emergencies and situations as a whole. All agreed that the most viable
alternative would be calling 911 which can result in an ambulance in minutes or
less as well as seeking out friends who are medical professionals. The factor
that mattered most to post purchase evaluation was whether or not the route
took too long and made the injured person suffer more or even cause more
damage. If my app has the ability to drastically decrease the necessary time to
assess medical emergencies it can increase health and consumer happiness.
I think that if done correctly my app could definitely be
the most viable option for figuring out medical situations. If done poorly 911
would greatly surpass but my app would be a preliminary caution being made to
figure out of 911 (and other services) would even be necessary to begin with.
Great research Matt! I think you guys nailed it when you said 911 is the most viable option. However, if something did go wrong due human negligence, the ambulance company could be held liable. Do you have a legal plan on protecting yourself and your company incase of a misdiagnosis that would result in the injury or further injury of someone else?
ReplyDeleteHey Matthew, I liked the research you made regarding the choices that people in your segment made in contacting medical professionals. If your app can save money and still get quick responses just like calling 911 it would most likely become the most viable option regarding medical emergencies. Your idea will provide a good mode of safety and cause less stress.
