Some things will just remain forever bland until they’re gamified. Like health care and insurance. When Paris Daniell walked into our Creative Thinking class and inspired us to propose a strategy for Kaiser Permanente’s digital precense, my gut screamed out ‘Adventure.’ I had previously pondered the twisted psychology of pairing these two components to capture the attention of young, active and often financially strapped individuals. The digital space was the perfect place to do this. After some deep digging into these individuals’ behaviors, I concluded that Kaiser Permanente should challenge them to be more active. Not only that, but they should challenge them to challenge their friends to be more active also. They should go as far as rewarding them with small medical perks for being more active. These individuals respect brands that take their lifestyle into considetaion and provide useful content. Kaiser Permanente should close the gap between Adventure and Health Care.

ALLOW USERS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES FREELY AND
BUILD A POSITIVE AND LOYAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
THEIR MEDICAL INSURANCE PROVIDER BY PAIRING
ADVENTURE + HEALTH CARE

9. The Big Idea
Create an ecosystem where adventurous individuals can interact with one another and with Kaiser
Permanente. This platform encourages users to continue to live freely and keeps a point system to
create a friendly competative environment where users can challenge one another to physical and
daring activities and set up activities that are open to others in their network.
Unlike other insurance companies, Kaiser Permanente will encourage adventurous high risk ac-
tivities, travel, and exploration. Users will be rewarded with medical benefits such as free body
massages and dental clean-ups based on the amount of points they receive. Use newer sharing
platforms such as Storify, and existing ones such as Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to build con-
nections and spread the noise amongst Kaiser Permanente potential users and active adventurers.
