    • Problem

    Being an all WOMEN team we sought to create an experience for users that was seamless, but also spoke to their direct needs. Being a group of women we reflected on our experiences and found we all had the similar experience of:

    "Seeking the help and advice from our individual networks for our personal health."

    Solution

    Based on our collective experiences, we identified 3 main goals...

    • A forum page in which users post questions they have for the community and respond to one another.
    • A product review page for feminine care products.
    • An article page in which users can find female health related articles based on their needs.

    Outcome

      Forum Page

    • Users can post a question to the community! These questions can range from a number of topics, from home remedies to health focussed pregnancy questions.
    • Other users can comment on posts and give suggestions to one another on each post.

      Product Review Page

    • A product review page in which users could share their opinion on a variety of products.
    • An article page in which users could find a variety of information related to women's health.

    Next steps...

    • Create a tagging system that allows users to sort through reviews, comments, and articles based on specified tags.
    • Connect the product page to an Amazon API to connect users directly to the products.
