Our Approach
We outlined the following key steps for the whole project:
We began by analyzing the existing user flow, paying particular attention to behavioral sequencing.
We identified and assessed the gap between the target behaviors and the behaviors currently exhibited within the platform.
We compiled a comprehensive presentation that included a prioritized list of recommendations based on our analysis.
We presented the outcomes and recommendations to the Noom Health Team for further discussion and implementation planning.
