Meet Alice.● Alice is our customer persona

What does Alice do?
ColoClean: A smarter, safer colonoscopy prep.Our mission is to provide patients of all backgrounds with an
effective, humane, personalized colonoscopy preparation kit.
ColoClean encourages patients to eat, minimizes laxative
consumption, and simplifies the regime, while still
facilitating a safe, effective colonoscopy procedure.
What’s the problem?Patient is due for a colonoscopy.
Patient does not like the taste, does not complete the
prep.
Hungry patient eats high-residue food during
prep.
Patient forgets to take medicines at given time
specifications.
Bad prep! Stool blocks the walls of the colon. The gastroenterologist cannot clearly check for polyps, possibly resulting in an incomplete or even inaccurate colonoscopy.
Our Prototype - What comes in each kit?● Foolproof instructions● Educational information● 30 laxative tablets (magnesium
