Week 1

Data Collection

Platform- the choice of platform will be an app which can be downloaded on mobiles and PC's, this is a choice down to the user. 

Specification -  Workout app - depending upon which body part is selected it will list various workouts that will work that area of the body. Younger people care about their health so students will be easily accessible.

Participants - We are going to use students as our choice of participants in the study. This is because they are easily accessible and young people interface with health technologies well. Also people who are interested in health, healthy or not.

Recruitment strategy - Online and randomly selective participants.

Methods - Online questionnaires will be used and turned into visual data so user requirements can be identified easily.

Interviews - filmed and uploaded to YouTube.

Focus groups -  Randomly selected sample, use Dictaphone

What data is being collected? - How the user interacts with the app and if they use anything similar. Its also a chance to look at how we can design the layout which would suit our target audience more and to keep users interested for a longer period of time.
