Description
Flying Healthy is a healthcare companion that allows users to monitor their health levels before they fly into outer space. This app facilitates health insurance pre-flight by putting the user first, allowing them to view a personal health scan and any physical and mental health risks specific to them. Flying Healthy allows users to either insure or monitor specific health concerns, by adding them to their health plan or insurance plan.
This app conquers trepidation surrounding the cost of health insurance by putting the user in control, and showing that the insurance is worth the price.
The Problem
We were given the brief to create a screen-based device or program that would assist in future commercial space flight to Mars. As a team we explored various avenues and decided to tackle the issue of health insurance pre-flight.
By analysing user feedback of existing health insurance programs, and understanding the health risks involved with space travel today, we found that:
- In the field of health, the main concern for commercial space flight is not to set strict regulations on who can and cannot travel, but to monitor existing health levels so that if any concerns occur while in space they can be quickly assisted
- In the field of insurance, the main concern amongst users was the hefty cost. Since we can't make it cheaper, the question becomes, how can we make it seem worth the price?How can we make people feel safe and justified when buying health insurance
