In the Phase 1 Zinc Catalyst award women with lived experiencewere at the heart of the process. This enabled us to gain deepinsight that will underpin the product development process. Webelieve that this will enable us to shape the product so that it issensitive to the challenges that women face, and creates aresonant value proposition that is genuinely unique.This led to the development of a blueprint for a co-designedstrength training app for women in midlife. We have workedwith women to identify key features, desired functionality, exploreopportunities to collect data, and to understand the visual languageand terminology that resonates. This insight has led to the co-design of a blueprint for an innovative, strength training app.We identified key factors that differentiate our product including:(i) the product's credibility; a sound evidence-base was perceived tobe lacking in existing offers and this meant that women did not trustthem.(ii) the product's inclusivity; existing offers focused on 'sporty-fittypes' and this has the potential to widen existing inequalities inphysical activity participation and more broadly in health.(iii) the fact that our product is genuinely co-designed with women,for women. This has influenced every aspect of the developmentprocess including the medium, the visual language, theunderpinning exercise science and the behaviour changeapproaches.The next step is to bring the vision to life, to test our assumptionsand to gain proof of concept. For the next phase we will be focusingon the opportunity to improve women's health via workplacewellbeing strategies.

在第1阶段锌催化剂奖中，妇女拥有经验，这是该过程的核心。这使我们能够深入了解产品开发过程。 Webelieve认为这将使我们能够塑造产品，从而对女性面临的挑战产生挑战，并创建真正独特的众多价值主张。这导致了为中年女性的女性共同设计的培训应用程序开发的蓝图。我们已经与女性一起工作，以确定关键功能，所需的功能，探索收集数据的兴趣，并了解引起共鸣的视觉语言术语。这种见解导致了蓝图的共同设计，用于创新，力量培训应用程序。我们确定了与众不同的关键因素，包括：（i）产品的信誉；现有报价缺乏可靠的证据库，这意味着女性不信任。（ii）产品的包容性；现有的报价侧重于“运动型”，这有可能扩大现有的不平等现象不平等，并且更广泛地在健康方面。（iii）我们的产品与女性真正地与妇女共同设计的事实。这影响了开发过程的各个方面，包括媒介，视觉语言，艰苦的运动科学和行为改变。下一步是使愿景栩栩如生，测试我们的假设并获得概念证明。在下一阶段，我们将通过工作场所策略来重点关注改善妇女健康的机会。
