Final Product Idea

Final Product Idea
Our final product idea is an app for your smartphone which is both a fitness and nutritional personal health tracker, its unique feature is that it makes personalised exercise workout routines for you and bases the suggested time of your meals and workouts based around your timetable at university or work. You can choose the type of workout plan you are wanting to complete and connect your timetable upon making an account and a workout and meal plan will be made for you. Each workout will be explained to the user for the optimal and safest way for them to perform the workout and a suggested intensity will be provided. The app will suggest meals based around your current health, dietary requirements and what your goals are while using the app. The app will contain a social aspect in which a user can connect to their social media accounts and compete with their friends as well as the rest of the world. They will be updated on what exercises their friends are doing to motivate them into also exercising. We noticed that no one that we surveyed had an app which tracked their nutrition, so we think its important to include it as people don't normally want to use an app which is based solely on nutrition. From our user research we found that people were not completely comfortable with the nutritional and social aspects of the app so we have decided to focus less on them and more on the exercise portion of the app.

The areas of focus we’re looking at is a timetabling system which plans exercise routines and meals around your lectures and workshops, a nutrition system where you can follow custom meal plans or see some of the most popular meals as well as other features and finally an exercising system which is like the nutrition system in a lot of ways like designing custom routines that can also fit around your timetable for the day. The span of this app would start small mainly looking at local universities targeting students and/or gym enthusiasts, the hopefully if the app starting gaining traction taking the app more public so more students could have ac...
