Health and fitness tracker

May 31, 2023

As part of an internal assessment for an IB computer science course, I conducted an interview with a freelancer designer to identify a problem that could be solved through a software solution. The interviewee expressed concerns about weight gain and managing type 2 diabetes while working from home. This case study outlines how a health and fitness tracker app was designed to address these issues.

Problem Statement

The interviewee, a freelancer designer, experienced significant weight gain and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes after transitioning to working from home. The lack of physical activity and reliance on convenient but unhealthy food options contributed to these health issues. The current method of tracking diet and exercise involved manual calculations using a sheet, which was inconvenient and time-consuming.

Solution Overview

The health and fitness tracker app was designed to address the problem through these features:

  • User-Friendly Interface: A clean and straightforward design to ensure that users can easily log their food intake and physical activities

  • Automated Tracking: The app automatically calculates the total calories consumed and expended based on user input, removing the need for manual calculations

Further implementation

A feature I wanted to add was a goal-setting and motivation feature, where users can set weight goals and track progress. The app would include motivational features such as reminders, achievements, and progress visualizations to encourage users to stay on track and maintain a high customer retention rate.
