Presentation Notes
Tai Our project started in Jan. 20. And then, we met our sponsor and knew the proposal. Soon after having interviews, we realized we needed to change our concept.
Primary Research
Do not want the data to be sent to them.

measurements.
From Clinician Interviews
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Tai Through clinician interview, we realized that these two points. They do not want to receive emails on Sunday midnight. Kick counting is one of five measurements.
Primary Research
“Personally, not very interested in the product at all, due to strong fetal
movements.” - Expecting Mother
“I will become too sensitive from the
data.” - Recent Mother
From Mother Interviews
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Tai Response from the mothers are unexpected. We realized that our product may increase their uneasiness. Research about counting kicks Count the Kicks every day, preferably at the same time. Six movements in an interval of two hours. "The average time to achieve 10 movements in most previous studies was about 20 minutes. In this study it was 162 minutes." Women perceived 87-90% of fetal movements.
Primary Research
I will be happier, if I can receive messages from my baby.
