What can I learn from previously done research on the topic of Dietary Assistive Applications?
63% of smartphone users expect to get information specific to them
Current health apps include communities where users can engage freely with others on the app. Additional passcode system for logging in is missing in exhisting apps.
Exhisting applications lack credibility. Unless charged with additional fee/subscription, users lack knowledge in topic which stops them from building a stronger relationship with food.
Users currently lack personalization (with no financial constraints) and credibility. With very limited resources, users don’t know where and how to begin their food journey. To help build a reliable and accurate foundation, I decided to design a product that aims to provide solutions to these three problems.

Method 2
Method 3
For this product’s research stage, I will be targeting users with very specific dietary restrictions such as people with food allergies, diabetes and PCOS. I will also target some users who are beginning a new journey in transitioning into vegetarian/vegan diet. The sole purpose of this app is to assist users of specific dietary restrictions and users who are looking to change their diet.

After jotting down ideas and grouping them into specific groups, I discovered my priorities and next steps. My current priority is to increase the credibility of the product by implementing further features, rewards, and a strict system within the community. Features like collaboration with reputable users could increase the product’s credibility. Also having users who post go through extensive review to make sure they qualify to give out the information they are could help with building credibility for the app.
Free
User’s diet is important. What users eat is important. Product should be accessible for all users looking to eat safe, healthy, and better without financial constraints. Basic features should be free and other additional features could be charged (like if user uses "find nutritionalist near you" and they connect with a nutritionalist)
Easy
Easy to navigate on own without having to browse for features. Menu bar should be clear with all features. Users should not feel overwhelmed by information and features. Mindful of users who have further restrictions like visual, audio, etc
Credible
The camera feature, recipes, facts about certain dietary restrictions should be reliable and correct at all times. Users should not feel uncertain about the information they are taking in.
Incorporating artifical intelligence to enhance the product. Image recognition for when users take images of their food and the app recognizes what’s on the plate and the nutritional facts about the user’s meal.
Further assistance in user’s journey through voice assistants. Currently exhisting ones are home assistants like Alexa etc. An in app voice assistant could also be helpful in reaching a bigger user audience.
A social platform that is also educational. A community feed that allows for users to connect with each other, share each other’s stories, recipes, and more, and learn more about their own diet, other people’s diets etc.
If the users feel like they can’t trust the information that is given to them, they won’t feel the need to use the scanning feature, tips feature, education feature. They would only use the community, food tracking, and recipes feature (honestly would this be a bad result?).
If users feel like the scanning feature is reliable, then they will continue to use the feature when they go grocery shopping so it helps identify certain ingredients that is/isn’t good for the user. This could result in users not using the community feature at all.

Flow 1
On-boardingUser will follow the on-boarding process using the ‘next >’ button and by filling out form.
This prototype resolves the on-boarding problem of creating a personalized profile for every user. The on-boarding will help users put in their dietary background for a better and customized product experience
Flow 2
Community Feed/User ProfileUser will click on the 'feed' icon on the homepage and browse through the community feed. User will then click on creator's profiles to check out creator's profile.
Verified profiles will have very clear visual signs that clarify the user has been background checked for their profession and is verified to post with credibility.
Flow 3
HomepageAfter on-boarding, user will land on the homepage. User will browse the homepage by clicking on the menu icon on the top left and switching tabs between 'About' and 'Goals'.
The homepage resolves the problem of having all the information user needs and would look for within the homepage. This builds credibility.

Conduct some user testing to enhance design and user experience
