Ideation & Divergent Solutions


Four divergent low-fidelity solutions were explored and tested based on the META insights: Daily Tracking, AI Scanning, Pet Family Connect, Pet Wallet.

Concept 1: Daily Health Tracking

Encourage daily health tracking and collect data over a time, to monitor patterns and health concerns.

Concept 2: AI Health Scanning

Scan your pets skin, body or eyes and use AI to determine the issue and share concerns directly with a vet.

Concept 3: Pet Family Connect

Connect owners and carers together to share updates and medical concerns on a single platform.

Concept 4 Pet Wallet

Keep all pet documents in the same digital place which can be easily accessed and shared when needed.

Moving forward based on Key Findings
