* **technology available to you and features of chatbot designs**
* **context of health issues in your community**. 

After conducting research, you will develop initial design ideas and **compose a clear value proposition** that defines *what your team will create, for whom, and the value it will bring***.** Finally, you will present a proposal to your class and the community for feedback, helping you refine your design direction moving into the next project phase.
