At GDC 2015, I was inspired by a talk: “Dedicated Prototyping for Mobile Game Development,” and I pitched a similar idea to MeYou Health.
My proposal included 6 months of projects, a vision for team management, hiring strategies, and a plan to integrate discoveries back into our product teams. I received funding, interviewed candidates, and hired 1 game designer before a hiring freeze was implemented by our parent company. Together, this little team of two built 4 prototypes with Pixate software in 80 days.
Check out the 4 Google docs below. Pixate was purchased by Google in 2016, and shut down on 10/31/16. While you can still view our final reports, the QR codes no longer function:
#001 TimeWalk - to avoid sitting all day
#002 Vigorous - get more heart-thumping activity
#003 Veg-o-Mat - eat more non-starchy veggies
#004 PrescribableApps - give and get better healthy app suggestions
