- 4. 4 Mad*Pow | @marsinthestars …youare what you say Your Digital Companion has a difficult job. It needs to motivate and encourage, while simultaneously showing respect and encouraging trust. It must come across as familiar and helpful, while still exerting influence over the user’s choices. To that end, we need a voice that sounds accommodating but not subservient, and caring but not parental. Your Digital Companion is: • Realistic but not cynical • Respectful but not subservient • Happy but not silly • Motivational but not dumb • Familiar but not annoying • Authoritative but not bossy Digital Companion helps patients help themselves. It acts as a guide, to help patients adapt to the new circumstances around them.

Editor's Notes
- #4 We design apps to help people live better (feel better, act in ways that are beneficial for them). When you use an app daily (or hourly) the stuff it does is important, but a key differentiator is how it sounds/who it is - The What vs. the How - Example of the grocery app Mike and I hated because it was too cutesy
- #5 In a recent project with a pharmaceutical company, had a tough job: create an app that helps people to live better lives with a disease that cannot be cured. This does NOT impact the functionality… but it certainly impacts the personality Could be a coach. Could be a nurse. Could be a friend. These people need all of those – but who will they listen to? How do you know that someone is sweet? (the words they use). How do you know that someone is helpful, or trustworthy? Sometimes by how they act, but often from how they sound. We judge people based on how they sound. Educated, stuck up, friendly, casual, etc.
- #6 I want today to be about conversation and discussion.
- #8 Mad*Pow is a design agency focused on design for purpose
- #9 One way we do that is through our Behavior Change Team – led by Dustin DiTomasso Self determination theory Motivation model Moving from extrinsic to Intrinsic Align behavior with their values Based on shared psychological needs: Autonomy (values) Competence (learning & growth – do they have the skills/ability required) Relatedness (feeling belonging/relationship/personalization): we can TAILOR the content
- #10 Another way to describe behavior change Key things to note Explain that this is NOT ”gamification” We are not looking to “trick people” into doing something or manipulate them. We recognize that many solutions only stick for a few weeks or months (i.e. Gamification). Our goal is to build habits to create long-lasting change.
- #11 Designing for behavior change doesn’t start with the solution [Step through the 4 areas, explain in design terms] Version of the scientific method Consider: what job does content need to do? [for the population and for the individual] To educate? To align w/social norms? To remind? To connect? To persuade? (smoking is bad – no need to educate, but need to persuade)
- #14 The Mad*Pow process – where does content strategy fit in? Everywhere!
- #17 Talk about content audits, usability analyses, etc.
- #18 Talk about branding, and the connection between visual and voice
- #19 Talk about testing and creating proto-content, and how this becomes real content (instead of using Lorem Ipsum!!)
- #20 Talk about the importance of metadata, and how it connects to IA – helping people find things, categorize information, accessibility, etc.
- #22 This app leads you, trains you, and focuses you. - Explicitly says it’s a coach What does a coach do? What does a coach sound like?
- #23 This app answers your questions. - Implicit – doesn’t call itself a butler - How we used voice and metadata
- #24 Companion – not Pollyanna or Jane Eyre though. Someone who understands that sometimes it sucks to be you.
