Point of View Statement

💡
Fitness Frank and Engineering Edgar need a way to track what they consume to be either healthy or sustainable whilst suggesting programs/methods, because it takes too much time tracking it on their fitness/diet app, there has been prospective developing research in the area, and there aren’t any holistic processes to increase external and internal sustainability of an individual in consumption.

Minimum Viable Product

💡
Define the simplest version of this product that delivers value and meets the challenges of this POV statement will have these essential features.

The simplest version of this product that delivers value and meets the challenges of this POV statement will have these essential features:

  • Is an advanced, smart wristband that is comfortably wearable in size, feel, and hardness practical for daily application.
  • Tracks what (and how much of it) you consume through internal fluid changes, blood or oxygen levels, etc based on trends with certain foods, or with a scanner much like face id that detects the food both with labels for packed goods as well as general food.
  • Links to an application that processes this information accordingly and creates an algorithm that is translated within individual suggested and/or selectable programs (i.e options of: sustainable, muscle gain, lose or gain weight, specialized health-oriented, etc).
  • Appropriately and correspondingly relates to the activity throughout the day: walking, running, exercising/working out, engaging in sports, etc.
  • (Related to point 3). Provides measures to enhance health habits, i.e reminding individuals of the consumption of their pills, and general daily health activity (i.e heart rate, respiratory issues, stress, etc) throughout the day.
  • Powered by solar energy and excess energy is stored in lithium-ion batteries within. There would have to be a less sustainable option where electricity-powered device charging (from a plug) happens as well as the former would be far more costly. The charger would come with the purchase of either, so there is a dual mode or only charger mode, but for people who want to save time, the former is more appropriate. There is also a third option, to not include the charger and remove the expense of it, as the batteries and energy absorption are proven to be quite high.
