week 1- Faithful choices are in the making

To decide the subject of our prototype we first started brainstorming as a group. Each one of us shared with the rest of the group three domains he is most passionate about and would love to do the prototype on. To our surprise, none of the domains overlapped, and we discovered that each one of us have different interests. we discussed together as a group about the different subjects, while each one of us explained why he think his domains will be a good idea for this project. After deliberation, we chose together three main domains we want to research, sleep, anxiety and nutrition.

In order to understand the problems and needs that every domain holds. we split up into teams of two and interviewed specialists from every domain. The main needs that came up during the interview with Dr. Micha Gross, a specialist psychologist for sleep. according to her, the problems are: to fall asleep faster, to have continuous sleep, to feel more awake when you wake up.

The main needs that came up during the interview with Dr. Tzahi knaan, clinical nutritionist, are: Improving athletic performance, losing weight, nutrition awareness.

The main needs that came up from the interview with Einat Mendal are:

- To improve the sense of capability (physical and mental)

- Bring yourself to reduce the amount of stress- to not let it exceed your stress limits.

- To create a sense of control over your life.

After the inetrview we got together again and discussed our findings. After long deliberation, we have decided to move forward, and keep exploring the world of anxiety. Our decision based on the fact that all of us, unanimously, were most passionate about this domain.
