Gaps in Research

• Our research did not take into account a diverse population
  • Include women
  • Include minorities
  • Our interviewee’s were largely white males
  • Pat wants us to broaden the population of our research
• A lot of feedback on some short questions such as habits/needs would be great to further clarify our thoughts
  • Perhaps a survey?
• Our team does not have an opinion on current IOT solutions in the marketplace  

Plans Going Forward

• We will go back to our contact at Morningside Nursing Home to get other recommendations for experts we could talk to on pre-assisted living retirement
• We will reach out to those in our network who fit the mold of our new focus: early side of the retirement spectrum, we will also be sure to chat with a representative sample
• We will develop a quick survey to send out to gauge responses on quick questions so we can further distill our insights
• We will start researching current IOT marketplace solutions
