Interview of Extreme User


Take-Away from Interview

• Difficult to “streamline” health routine

• Benefit of downloading one app versus three or four

• Very few healthy meals students can make when on campus

• Would be good to know best exercise options with available time

• Good way to keep on track with goals


Further Observations

• A healthy lifestyle is hard to maintain during college with a busy schedule

• Even with a schedule, other tasks often get in the way and take the easy way out

• Difficult to start exercise routine with little time/ little knowledge about fitness levels

• Cooking seems complicated and students often don’t know healthy, simple recipes


Draft Idea for App

A multi-functional calendar app that organizes a healthy lifestyle for the user by syncing with their smartphone’s calendar app.


Draft Idea for App

The app would provide a healthy meal options according to food preferences and the time allotted, as well as meal tracking system.


Draft Idea for App

It would also provide the user with exercises personalized to the user’s schedule and fitness level.


Draft Idea for App

All would be synced to the users main calendar and fitted according to their schedule as it changes.


Ideas from Ideation Session







• Unmet need: – Easy way to schedule personalized exercise and

meal plan

• How the app would work:– Set preferences for exercise and meal options

before the app syncs with schedule and provides suggestions

• Who the app is for:– College aged students and young professionals


Research on Smartphone Apps


Example of personalization for exercises Example of possible calendar layout


BodySpace App: Social fitness app providing a complete system of workouts, exercise trackers, and “personal trainers”. Gives nutrition tips, but does not provide meal options or an area to log food and exercise.




Example of meal options Example of possible meal log


TwoGrand App: Food journal that gives ideas for healthy meals. Does not track exercise.



Many smartphone apps exist which give various options regarding health and fitness, but, For the most part, apps only focus on one or the other.



No other apps provide personalized options for exercise and meals according to the user’s schedule while also allowing for a full log of both exercise and meals. There are also no apps that give you extremely personalized recipe options that can be made within a certain time frame according to the user’s schedule.


Thank You
