User Persona [Define]:
Problem Statement [Define]:
We have observed that current medical record tools are not giving middle aged workers a centralized platform to join and engage with communities that give support, which is causing patients to feel isolated, alone, and confused. How might we develop a mobile app so that busy middle aged workers are successful in accessing support groups based on their diagnosis in one centralized location.
