Fitinity: Google UX Case Study #3
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for residents in Weld County. Although there are existing wellness initiatives such as HEAL and Outdoor RX, many adults don’t know where to start or how to take action to improve their health.
Current online resources are fragmented, outdated, or lack clear, personalized steps. Residents need an easier way to access up-to-date, local guidance for preventing heart disease and improving overall wellness.
SOLUTION
Design a health and fitness app dedicated to providing residents of Weld County with free resources like programs and events, healthy recipes, community feed to improve their lives
BACKGROUND
Design a platform for a community-based problem with the goal of driving positive social change through more equitable access to essential resources
GOALS
To design a free mobile and web app that helps Weld County residents track activity, discover local fitness opportunities, and engage with community wellness events.
