Problem
It is often difficult to balance life while prioritising mental and physical wellbeing. An app showing the nutritional and mental health benefits of food items will make healthy meal planning and grocery shopping easier.
Limitations
A healthy microbiome promotes better moods. The research based on this is new and very few. The database would lack information on a lot of food items.
Personas
Shayma is an accountant with a busy lifestyle. She has poor mental health and wants to make a change in her life to look after it better.
Chris is a wheelchair user that wants to keep healthy and focus on his mental health. He has recently found he is lactose intolerant and wishes it were easier to achieve all these things together.
Shauna is in her late 60's and realises the importance of eating healthy on her lifestyle. She wants to able to order healthy groceries straight to her home.
Site Map and Wireframes
The app was designed with an easy user journey in mind. The home is central access to four simple pathways. The app provides all the information needed for a full diet change, without overcomplicating it.
Hi-fidelity Prototype
The use of Figma to convert the design from sketched ideas to a real-life app interface. The colours were experimented with and chosen based on the accessibility. The transitions were thought about in terms of layering of app pages.
Lessons Learned
• How to scrutinise my design and adjust it
• Making the colour scheme accessible for all users
• Desinging in Figma
• Using the UX design thinking process to create
• Starting with paper wireframes and developing them digitally, until prototyping
