Our project aims to increase physical activity levels among teenage girls aged 13-18 by developing a mobile application that addresses common barriers like lack of time, motivation, and misconceptions. The app would track users' daily activity and calories burned, connect them with friends in a competitive social environment, and reward progress through an avatar and points system to keep users motivated over the long term. User testing of a prototype provided feedback on improvements to the interface, information displays, and affordances.

Editor's Notes

  1. Mention the various activities - this may be due to the lack of information provided to them - this may be due to the lack of a exercise buddy or as mentioned, the misconceptions/lack of information
  2. Like their everyday walk to the bus stop, walking up starirs instead of taking the elevator
  3. Mental Note: - Interface Screen More ¡®live¡¯ information
  4. Mental Note: - Encourages exploration of new and innovative methods (to incorporate physical activity into their daily lives) - Encourages friendly competition (taps on competitive nature of teenage girls) Short term motivations (goal setting functions) Long term motivation (games, accessories, networking with friends, badges) ITS FUN! (if it is not fun, why do it?)
