iSaid-uSaid is a
textig Application (App) that will help to improve communication
between people in strained relationships. The App will offer content comprised
of statement and comment cards to be texted, geared towards being at any stage
of the relationship. The App
gives you the option to change “moods” on the cards pertaining to the user’s
temperament at the time.
The App will assist its users to communicate in a positive
and productive manner as they navigate through difficult circumstances.
TARGET MARKET
The App will serve the target market of any person going
through a breakup, separation, divorce, or already divorced. These people would
like to see if there is anything left to salvage or re-kindle of their
relationships.
As an example, in 2014 there were 2,140,172 marriages. Of
those, 813,862 ended up in divorce, 38%. Had this App existed, how many of
these relationships could have been salvaged?
The App’s unique purpose is to help the user steer their
troubled relationship by having meaningful conversations through the use of the
App’s content.
The user will be able to select from five mood-categories
( Angry, Sad, Frustrated, Happy, Calm). They will view a list of available
messages for each mood and be able to easily navigate through different
messages for their selected mood.
After selecting the desired message, the user can select a
contact from his or her contact list or enter a telephone number. The text will
be sent through MMS, Multimedia Messaging Service.
This will result in alleviating face-to-face discussions
from spinning out of control. If and
when, their in-person discussion does blow-up, the user resorts to the App
content, therefore eliminating becoming perplexed, tongue-tied and being at a
loss for words.
Otherwise, too many hurtful or angry comments are thrown
in to the mix without thinking it through.
The user especially wants to keep discussions quiet if
there are children involved who can over-hear and understand adult arguments
and conversations.
The App will serve those people who are exhausted by the
same old discussions leading to less than fruitful conclusions.
When anxiety runs hot, these discussion-starters or enders
can be used to put things in check, place the user in a calmer frame of mind,
and stream-line their ongoing and never-ending conversations within their troubled
relationship.
Phase 2 of the App will incorporate the use of an elected
paid, monthly subscription service, for the professional advice provided to our
users by Dr. Michael Rimm.
Dr. Rimm is a Psychiatrist who specializes in Adult and
Pediatric Psychiatry and practices in Maui, HI.
Practicing for over 25 years, a primary part of his practice is Family
and Marriage Therapy.
Should
the user wish to ask Dr. Rimm a question about their troubled relationship, the
user will be able to email him directly. Michael will respond directly to the
user on a one-way only email-feed.
As
part of the subscription service, the user will have access to the app’s
website where they will find Michael’s FAQ section, updated monthly.
To generate initial interest, iSaid-uSaid is launching as a free version, allowing the user access to 5 Mood Cards within 5 Mood Categories.
The receiver does not have to download the App to receive. He or she can reply
using normal SMS text (short message service), or use the free version with the
App invite sent by the user.
