Each of entities within a community plays a role in motivating and providing resources to people.

The LiveWell service model incorporates several different community entities: Wellness Teams made up of individual LiveWell members, a website to facilitate connections and provide information, and the Mayo Clinic filling the role of program management. Each component of the system plays different roles at different times for a single individual, depending on that individual's stage.

Informed by the research, we believed that health should be considered as a continuous spectrum, as opposed to two discrete states, "red or green box", where anyone can always be healthier. We also learned that Mayo Clinic is already providing a high quality service in treating disease whereas relatively healthy individuals find it hard to manage their own health in their daily lives. These led us to include the entire community in our target audience and to focus on helping them develop healthy habits.

With the journals and collage materials, we performed exploratory and generative research to better understand the problems of current health care system and what people want relating to their health.
