What this question tests

Product design connecting a social platform's strengths, community and sharing, to a health and wellness use case.

How to approach it

  1. Clarify scope: a healthy living feature inside Facebook, likely leveraging Groups and social accountability rather than a standalone fitness tracker.
  2. Segment users: people trying to build a new habit, like walking daily, versus people managing an existing routine.
  3. Identify the gap: standalone fitness apps lack the social accountability and existing friend network Facebook already has.
  4. Prioritize social accountability for habit formation, since that's Facebook's actual differentiator versus dedicated fitness apps.
  5. Propose small habit groups: users join a themed group like a 10,000 steps challenge with friends, sharing daily progress and light encouragement, not raw health data.
  6. Define success as weekly active participation in habit groups and self reported habit adherence after 30 days.
