･ ｡ﾟ★: Choose You - a health blog

GOAL

Specific ━━━ my goal is to educate people on the Covid 19 virus and make a safe space where they can understand more about their health and their body.

Measurable ━━━ i had many challenges and many period of times where i didn't have the motivation to continue or finish the website. making my cp was one of the largest challenges i had to overcome and it was a painful process, but i'm happy and content with what i have made.

Attainable ━━━ at the start of the project i had no idea how to make a website, i wasn't very good with things such as digital design but after consulting with many people, doing surveys, and receiving help from others, i couldn't have done this alone.

Relevant ━━━ i had always wanted to go into the medical field and i believe that creating the website was a start to my journey. my goal is simple, educate people on their health and i had done just that.

Time based ━━━ i started doing research for the website in late december and i officially started creating the website in mid January. i had many breaks and a couple weeks of procrastination and i continued working on my product in early February and officially published and uploaded my website in late February.

Empathy & Identifying Users

It was slightly challenging to identify the users since I wanted to get a more local perspective and I decided to survey 50 people in Jakarta about their health and their health choices. It has been challenging to get in touch with the users directly since the pandemic, yet it wasn't difficult to get in touch as I had many connections and I had many friends around Jakarta. But it took two weeks for the survey to finish as there was people I was slightly hesitant to reach.

During the process of speaking to users, I learned that many people don't have a proper education on the correct vitamins and the correct facts on the COVID-19 virus and most people just follow the trend. Moreover, I realised that many people believed the fake information spread on WhatsApp and it was very hard to differentiate the real and the rumours.

The other way how i might gain empathy for the users is before I educate people they need to be aware of the information they are sent. Finally, I think that if it wasn't a pandemic I would have had more access and interviewed more people.

This is my finished product.

My website is a safe space for people to learn and educate themselves about their body and the current existing Covid-19 virus. my main goal is for people to understand and learn about the Covid-19 virus and to make sure that they are getting the real information.

I think that there is importance in knowing the correct facts because during this pandemic i have seen so many people believe fake rumours from WhatsApp, twitter, and Instagram and i wanted to create a platform where people could find facts about the Covid-19 virus.

Another addition in the website is information on the Covid-19 vaccine. both pairs of my grandparents and my parents have taken the Covid-19 vaccine and this topic is one of the reasons i wanted to start a website, i know many people think that the vaccine is a hazard, some say it's a chip from the government and others say it will rewrite your DNA ( both of which is false ). The Covid-19 vaccine needs to be addressed seriously without the publics crazy conspiracy theories.

I had many topics that i wanted to research on but many of them were topics that were already researched and discussed such as body shaming, racism, and sexual harassment. then one day i saw a conspiracy theory online about the Covid-19 vaccine and it gave me and idea, many rumours and theories have been posted online and most were by people that were uneducated or had no trust in the government and i wanted to dissolve that issue.

People nowadays have such faith and trust to rumours and theories online and they usually believe these theories without proof or evidence and that angered me the most. that is why i decided to create a safe space for people to understand factual information about the Covid-19 vaccine and in addition other things.
