Forming an Opportunity Belief

Beginning Point: I believe an app that shows the wait at a doctor's office or any office at that matter would be an awesome idea. Shows relative wait per office per doctor. Possibly with extra features that allow you to recommend doctors and share one's experience. But mostly be able to track the wait for an office. Maybe with the option to also alert them that you are running late or vice versa alerts you when you will be waiting so not to speed to your appointment.


My Belief : I can't tell you how many times I have been running late to my doctors or dentist and rushing to get there to just end up waiting in the wait room for what seems to be too long due to the fact of having an appointment time for a reason. Just recently I had to go to the family care doctor's office around the corner to my house, for something minor which i assumed would take 45 minutes to an hour tops. I ended up sitting there for two hours. I think this app with allow people to be less stressed when running late. Along with providing offices with a heads up that your running late or whatever is going on. This would be majorly helpful to those that go to the doctor's office several times a year, which can allow them to waste less time waiting around. But any one that goes to a doctor visit or office this would be beneficial too.

The Prototypical Customer: Everyone hopefully. I believe most people attend doctor, dentist, and other offices that require you to wait at least once a year for an annual check up.  

Summary : The original opportunity is all there. I had a person experience to which made me think that an app that could do such a thing would be great. I do think it is more accurate to the sense that I was able to write it down on paper rather than just kind of explain in words to what would be a useful app. I think I could even grow on to this app to include more characteristics.
I think entrepreneurs should definitely look at customer feedback because they are they buyers and they are the one's that make or break an idea/business.  I believe customer feedback can show you in advance whether an idea is good or bad for the most part. They will be the one's that can foretell whether they would purchase or participate in a product or service.
