How might we encourage users to track their calorie intake to improve their food habits, enhance physical health, and achieve their desired weight goals.

An innovative calorie tracking app

with which you can scan your meals

and see your calorie and macro nutrient

values for free. The records will help you

build healthy food habits and live a

sustainable life.

The add meal CTA on the Home Screen encourages the users to add meals by scanning or manual adding option initiating the calorie tracking procedure. Post scanning the users can

see the nutrient value of their meals.

In the bottom navigation the journey part of the app stores all the data entered by the user segregating it in to three main categories, Calories (consumed), Weight (current & past records), Steps (Burnt Calories). The user can find graphs of their progress in these sections.

Design Process


I applied the five planes design process from the book

Elements of User Experience and the double diamond model to develop a product that inculcates 4 elements of a habit forming product drawing on insights from the Hooked model.


Dividing the projects in to 5 main states of the 5 planes post building the prototype I conducted Usability tests and Rapid validation experiments of the product to ensure its effictivenss.

The Hooked model consists of 4 stages trigger, action, variable reward & Investment required to form a habit forming app. Along with peers we analyzed common actions day to day habit forming applications have and created an affinity map which connects all four stages in the end.

VIEW STORYBOARD

Storyboard


Post the secondary research, I developed storyboard. This storyboard focuses on how a user would interact with the app and how the four core factors in habit formation - Trigger, Action, Reward, and Investment - would influence their usage. Each frame of the storyboard captures one of these four stages. By visualizing the user's journey through these four stages, the storyboard helps to ensure that the app is designed to promote habit formation and long-term engagement.

Usability Testing Summary


The Usability Testing of NutriTrack included 6 participants who performed 9 tasks in the time of 20 to 60 mins.
The interface, visual appeal, and colours of the app were well appreciated by all the participants. The navigation and clickable element were clear there was no high level frustration or confusion in the participants using the prototype. Participants felt that the platform will help them achieve their task with investing less time. Another element acknowledged by the user was the scanning feature and various other features that would help them log food easily. Among the participants there were 2 who have used other calorie tracking application, so this enabled me to do competitive analysis as well.

Prioritizing Usability Findings for Optimal Impact


Post the Usability Testing I prioritized the critical and general feedback received in the area of improvement. In this Diagram the y-axis showcases how many participants faced the issue and the x-axis showcases severity of the issue

USABILITY TESTS RECORDS

Usability Test Plan


To evaluate usability, participants in the test completed tasks outlined in a detailed plan. This plan included warm-up and ending questions, alongside specific tasks. Participant data was recorded directly on the plan. Afterwards, a consolidated feedback sheet summarized findings for each task, based on participant responses.

Reflections


• Following a structured model like the 5 Elements and Double Diamond can lead to products that are user-centric

and well-planned in terms of their functionality.

• This project highlighted the importance of identifying and validating risky assumptions about any product before

launch, as it can save a lot of time and effort.

•. Using methods like Kano Cards, MoSCoW, and the Hooked Model helps create a product that's focused on the

core problem and avoids feature clutter.

•. Conducting thorough usability testing helped me remain uninfluenced by my own biases and focus on

developing a user-centric product.
