There is a need for a more efficient and user-friendly solution that enables doctors to easily and independently record their answers to medical questions.
Roon’s current process of scheduling and conducting moderated Q&A sessions is time-consuming and resource-intensive.
User Problem
Physicians may not be able to participate in full-hour Q&A sessions due to clinic hours and patient consultations, but they can sometimes answer a few questions.
The current system limits our ability to scale the database of high-quality medical content across various conditions, and fill knowledge gaps.
User Problem
There is a need for a more efficient and user-friendly solution that enables doctors to easily and independently record their answers to medical questions.
User Problem
There is a need for a more efficient and user-friendly solution that enables doctors to easily and independently record their answers to medical questions.
But early user research has already validated some assumptions and designs.
“If it was easier to jump in and out, that would be great”
“If there were questions that were not answered, would feel the onus to answer”
“Would be motivated to see quick comments from patients like I’ve always wondered this, I had an a-ha moment, this is helpful”
“One-hour sessions are fine now but will be too long when she returns to practice; maybe a 15-minute compensated session”
“Time management is challenging, I prefer casual, on-the-go recording options”
- The creator tool becomes easier to use with advanced development; better technology makes it more preferable.
- Video and audio recording tools are more widely adopted by non-creators if they are easy to use.
- Preferences for audio and video tools vary based on the user's persona.
- The key to onboarding top-tier experts is designing the tool to help them expand their reach and make an impact by helping others, rather than appealing to vanity or social factors.
Summary
AudienceOur users are doctors who are leaders in their fields, often with limited tech knowledge. These doctors are typically very busy, already triple-booked, and have little interest in learning new tools or engaging with social media or vanity tools.
ContextDoctors are frequently on the go, so a mobile solution made the most sense—something they could use to record content between meetings or while waiting in a car. Through many research sessions, we learned that doctors are primarily motivated by the desire to give back to the community and to scale their reach.
ResultsThe feature is still in the process of being built, but early user research on the prototype has validated some key assumptions. Doctors expressed a preference for having a tool that is as easy to use as possible, offering the ability to create content in text, audio, and video formats, depending on the context and their location.
