I spent the first couple minutes just trying to figure out who the user even is, someone in crisis, someone casually browsing, a parent looking for a kid's therapist.
Start by clarifying the goal and scope of the app, then segment users and identify their key pain points in finding a therapist. Prioritize the most impactful user needs, brainstorm solutions, and define success metrics, while considering Meta's strengths and potential risks.
Pro tip: Show awareness of Meta's platform capabilities (e.g., social graph, groups, messaging) and how they can uniquely solve trust and discovery problems, but also address privacy and ethical considerations given the sensitive nature of mental health.
Ask clarifying questions to understand the goal, target users, and constraints (e.g., is this for Meta's existing platforms, a standalone app, or a feature?). Define what 'finding a therapist' entails (search, matching, booking, etc.).
Identify key user segments (e.g., individuals seeking therapy, therapists, caregivers) and their specific needs, pain points, and barriers in the current therapy-finding process.
Prioritize the most critical user needs and brainstorm potential features or solutions that address them, leveraging Meta's assets (e.g., social recommendations, groups, messaging) while mitigating risks.
Propose key success metrics (e.g., match rate, time to first appointment, user satisfaction) and outline a minimum viable product (MVP) to test the core value proposition.
Discuss potential risks such as privacy, trust, regulatory compliance (HIPAA), and ethical concerns, and suggest ways to address them.
