The person being interviewed/observed is a medical professional, more specifically an athletic trainer, at MIT. They deal with many physical injuries every day, and have to coordinate with doctors for injuries that they deem more severe. We learned many useful techniques for diagnosing physical injuries, as well as key signs to look for. He also enlightened us to the potential legal issues of this product, but for now since we are focusing on UI design, we will ignore these. The particularly interesting moment for this interaction was when he was diagnosing a hurt ankle that was severely swollen and discolored. He had a few ideas of the cause but to be sure, he quickly snapped a picture and sent it to a MIT doctor. Within minutes the doctor had responded in a text giving him his diagnosis/advice. This revealed to us that maybe the Medical process is not as efficient as it could be.

Person #2

Person two is in late middle age and exercises occasionally.  He has a history of minor sports injuries/surgeries and has seen a trainer/doctor for these in the past.  As someone who now exercises less frequently, he is not always serious enough to go get help when he believes it would heal naturally and quickly, though he would appreciate having recommended exercises to help heal/prevent future injuries. 

Person #3

This person belongs to the user class of Adults without access to Medical attention.
