Features/Functionality

• Choosing women who already have access to healthy food cooked by a chef will lower the barrier to eating healthy food

• Ensuring the text arrives at meal times will ensure better eating habits at meals.

• Utilizing a mobile will keep the process on one technological device and provide a fun way to track behavior wherever the user goes

• Users love to apps. This process combines a health habit with what smart phone users love to interact with.

Theoretical Justifications

• I chose these steps based on what several women surveyed prefer.

• Many want to be able to participate if they choose to eat at different locations for meals.

• Many women did not want many extra steps in eating routines - this design is just one step.

• Many women don’t want difficult forms or documents to fill out to ensure compliance. A quick check off app is simpler.

• Many women often forget to eat healthily regardless of their intentions. The text reminder will be added trigger and the survey will be a form of follow-up./

Results of User Testing

• Will be added when research is completed.

Shortcomings of Design

• Lunch and dinner times could be irregular.• Women may not want to use a smart phone

during or after meal times.• The design lacks a group-element. It could be

more effective if it is social.

Expansion

• Other form factors or ID possibilitieso Placing reminder note around eating areas to serve as

additional reminder.

• Other features and interactionso More details about benefits of eating vegetables could provide

incentive.

Next Steps in Design Process

• Announce research study on sorority mailing list. Alert women of benefits of eating veggies and the technological aspect!

• Contact those who seem interested and have smart phones.

• Get the eating schedules for participants.• Show women how to set the web app as a

button on their home screen or a bookmark.
