During the last week the Speed Mentoring event took place. Our mentors raised several crucial questions about our product, which also raised new doubts and strengthened existing doubts among our group. Introducing our product and the issues that arose made us wonder if your chosen topic, picky eating as a defined eating disorder, was too complex for us to effectively address and help our users overcome their struggles. As a result, we held a meeting with all members of the group and had an in-depth discussion, which ultimately concluded that we need to re-evaluate our product direction and come to new insights.
These include:
1. Moving away from focusing on cognitive behavioral therapy, and instead approaching the product as something that accompanies the user instead of treating him. This change of perspective involves treating the user as a person and not as a patient, recognizing that we are not equipped to create a therapeutic procedure.
2. Also, ensuring close supervision by making the product mobile, so that the user can take it with him to different places and receive support in a variety of situations in which he may come across different types of food.
3. Creating targeted interactions at specific times, such as around meals.
We also face a number of challenges, including:
Ensuring that the product is specially adapted to the treatment of picky eating and does not become a general accompaniment for all types of eating disorders and anxiety.
Considering whether there are therapeutic techniques that we can incorporate into the product to give users tools, without exceeding our authority and being therapists of the disorder.
