1. What are the common personal goals within the members of your team, and how can you leverage those goals to build collaboration?
   • Some common personal goals within members of my team include gaining more research experience for future career choices and seeing how interdisciplinary work can be done. These goals will help build collaboration as having the common goal of wanting more research experience will allow us to collaborate with this similar interest. Future potential career paths may be discussed and can be further explored as a topic in relation to the project. This will again hopefully lead to building more collaboration. Interdisciplinary work is inherently collaborative since you have to combine a lot of different fields to create the niche topic that you are studying. Due to this, our team will have to build upon our collaboration as many of our members have strengths in different fields, and sharing this knowledge is very important for interdisciplinary work.
2. What are the common project goals within the members of your team, and how can you leverage those goals to make progress?
   • As stated above, common goals include gaining more research experience for future career choices and seeing how interdisciplinary work can be done. These goals can be leveraged to make progress within our project as gaining research experience can only be done by doing the research itself. Therefore, in order to make this progress the research has to be ongoing by team members. Interdisciplinary work cannot happen with just one person. Since it involves more than one field, and hence, more than one person, creating progress with this goal looks like sharing strengths from each person’s knowledge of that field and seeing where specific progress within our project can be made.
3. What are some biases that might become a barrier to your project goals?
   • The false consensus effect and bangwaggon effect can both be biases that might become a barrier in our project goals. The bandwaggon effect, which is when one wants to “fit in” with the group, may happen but can be overcome by becoming more comfortable with the group in order to create open and honest communication. This is similar to the false consensus effect, as one can assume that others may have a similar idea to them, when they do not. Again, with trust and communication we may try to overcome this potential barrier in our project goals. Functional fixedness is a bias that could be a barrier in our project goals. Function fixedness is ” the tendency to see something or someone as possessing a very particular, fixed role”. This may happen when we split people into specific sub groups of tech and non-tech, which may force team members to view themselves as only within that specific role.
4. What type of decision-making system will you use and why?
   • When it comes to decision-making systems, we have different strategies for different areas. For instance, when it comes to deciding on a time to meet, it is almost always likely that at least one person’s availability does not match everyone else’s in such a large group. However, we do a majority rules decision-making style on this, as the one person can read over the meeting notes, and everyone else can still make it to the meeting. When it comes to decisions involving the project specifically, such as developing different uses of Alexa in the healthcare sphere, we typically use a unanimous decision-making system as everybody should be on board with what we are planning to do in terms of progress for the project.

1. Identify FIVE specific things in your slides that you could have done differently.
   • More Research about where AI has been used elsewhere. Where has it worked before? 
   • Added a separate challenges slide as opposed to incorporating it in the progress challenge.
   • Finding more specific statistics regarding urban vs rural distribution.
   • Adding a slide about use cases and the progress we have made.
   • Maybe add a potential slide about future possibilities for AISHA.
2. Identify FIVE specific ways in which you could have delivered your presentation better.
   
   • Speak slower 
   • Project voice more
   • Be more conversational
   • Condense answers; Only need to talk about main points
   • Speak with passion!
3. Identify FIVE specific ways you could have built your credibility further.
   
   • Be more confident
   • Engaging the audience
   • A stronger opening that set the stage for a strong presentation
   • Drawing deeper conclusions from the statistics 
   • Showing specific challenges or use cases to show progress
4. Identify FIVE specific questions that you could have answered better. What was the question, how did you respond, how should you have responded?
   • Question on whether AISHA is static. This was answered by saying how as of right now it might be static and that we’re looking into making it more dynamic. However, it could have been answered by saying that AISHA is a dynamic tool that will be used for learning by the collaboration with the Maternal Health team that gave us a list of questions that are asked by patients. This can be used as a learning tool for the patients
   • Question on distribution of healthcare workers in urban vs rural. Responded with saying that rural distribution is clearly worse. This should not have even been a question to begin with since it should have been clearly answered in the slides. We will work better to do this next time. Maybe work on getting clearer statistics on the actual number in rural vs urban. 
   • Question on who we are working with. Responding with world hope international and how they will serve to connect us to the local community. Answer was okay, but could have answered a little more precisely. 
   • Question on what issues besides malaria is seen regularly. Answer about how the system works to becoming a doctor, and how a PHU works with helping sickness. Answer was a bit long, and we should try to be more concise and ready to produce kinds of diseases and corresponding treatments.
   • Question about connectivity and internet. Answer was about radio networks, solar batteries and more. Answer was good, but could have been kept a bit more concise by saying that we will look into this further. Also, this did not even need to be a question as it could have been easily added in a slide.

1. Identify three different primary stakeholders on your project, and come up with a list of 10 distinct questions you would ask each of them. Remember the aspirational / emotional /functional categories of needs and desires and try to find a balance of questions that might give you information in each of those areas.

• Community health workers
  • What current issues in healthcare are you facing right now?
  • What would your solution be?
  • What are some things in the current healthcare system that you think works nicely?
  • How do you feel when you are working (emotionally/mindset)?
  • How does it feel when a patient comes in?

  • Do you think the current system is reliable?
  • How do you feel when obtaining healthcare in this system?
  • Are you getting personalized care?
  • Where do you think there is room for improvement in this healthcare system?
  • How do you feel about introducing new technologies to this space?
  • Do you think what is available now is good enough, or is there room to improve?
  •  How do you feel when going to seek healthcare (emotions/feelings)?
  • Does the current healthcare system cause extra stress or strain on your everyday life?

2. Identify all of the key customers for your product/service/creation/solution. List specific ways that you will ensure that your product will meet their aspirational, emotional, and functional needs and desires.

Our key customers for this product will be the community health workers in Makeni, Sierra Leone. Additionally, a customer can also be a patient since they will technically be on the receiving end of this product. Functional needs will be fulfilled by helping in following the standard protocol when diagnosing a disease. Aspirational needs may be fulfilled when Alexa helps a worker, the worker may feel more empowered to make a change in this field. Lastly, emotional needs can be fulfilled when this product helps a worker, and can alleviate the stress and burden being put on them.

3. Articulate your value propositions for each of your customer segments (using the format presented in class).

Our value proposition for our customer segments cannot be fully fleshed out using the format presented in class as there is no business model, and with it things such as cost structure or revenue streams. However, our value proposition which is the Alexa device with the specific use cases to help in a healthcare setting will build a customer relationship with community health workers. Our key activities is researching and developing these skills. Our key partners are still in progress, but potentials for this include Amazon itself and the Sierra Leonean government.
