Role
As a UX Designer, my role is to understand user needs through research. This involves considering inclusivity and ensuring that the redesigned platform caters to their specific needs and provided a welcoming environment for all users.
Product Background
MyFitnessPal, developed by Under Armour, is a popular app for tracking nutrition and exercise, used by 200 million users worldwide.
It offers features like calorie tracking, meal logging, and access to an extensive food database.
Users can set goals, monitor progress, and connect with a supportive community.
When looking through various apps to redesign, I chose MyFitnessPal because of its popularity and extensive features.
I felt that I could bring value by addressing specific user goals and needs, focusing on inclusivity and user-centered design.
Problem Statement
The current MyFitnessPal app, while comprehensive, does not adequately support users with specific health issues.
It lacks personalized onboarding, tailored meal and workout plans, and essential accessibility features, making it difficult for users with health conditions to achieve their fitness goals.
User Interview
I engaged in in-person interviews with 6 individuals passionate about health and fitness who also grapple with various health conditions and accessibility challenges.
Outcome
Gathered crucial insights into the distinct needs and challenges of individuals with..

What are users' issues with the fitness platform?
Identified Pain Points

Design Ideation
I brainstormed ideas and developed low-fidelity wireframes, which I then used to create high-fidelity prototypes. These prototypes illustrate the app's design before and after the transformation process began.
