Summary for FlexFit project
Reflection

The project has been rewarding and challenging because it allowed me to combine problem solving skills ... O with user centered design by using the design thinking process. One of the most challenging parts with this project was how to design a digital fitness solution for new mothers. Due to lack of personal experience in this field made it difficult to come up with a solution that would benefit the end user of the app. Though extensive primary and secondary research i gain valuable insight into their unique challenges, frustration, motivation creating a strong foundation for the app design After analyzing and synthesizing the research data a persona, empty map and problem statement was developed to guide the design thinking process. Competitor and SWOT analysis help to identify useful features and functionalities. Using HMW question, mind mapping, storyboarding and brainstorming was used to generate ideas and NUF testing and MoSCoW analysis was used to evaluate ideas to make sure that only the most valuable, necessary and important features were prioritized To make sure that the user experience is flutter free user flow, taskflow, wireflow and IA was created. Through low, mid, and high-fidelity prototypes, I refined the app’s usability to support users in achieving their goals effortlessly based on usability test data collected and analyzed. Reflecting on the project, I would consider a feature that would integrate the baby father into the app. Because research showed fathers often prioritize work during the postnatal period, creating a potential gap. This highlights a need for features that brings the family together. The app could provide features that motivated both parents to exercise together, plan routines and share responsibilities. Gamification could make this a fun, rewarding experience, strengthening family bonds. The aim is to create a platform that brings family together and make parting a collaborative and rewarding experience
