    adrienne0906 got a reaction from parisshel in Help a design student: WLS app feedback!   
    Hello Bariatric Pals!
    I'm a design student that is working on my Senior Capstone project. I'm designing an app + device for Bariatric Surgery patients to give support and help them be a success in their weight loss journey. Since I'm designing an app + device, my concepts thus far are about how that system could help support someone, both immediately after the surgery, and many years afterwards.
    I broke my concepts into 4 areas: Motivation/Inspiration, Accountability, Connection to other people who have had surgery, and Strengthening a network of family and friends. I picked this areas to emphasize because I see them as very important to a person's success or failure--if my design could address all of these areas, that would be ideal!
    For your reference, I'm attaching a presentation I made in class with some illustrations of my concepts. You can answer without looking at it, and it would still be super helpful! : )
    My initial questions are: Which of these areas do you think is the most important? Do you think that there is an area you could have done without and still been successful?

    In relation to the device: What role do you think a device should play in your weight loss journey--should it be a wearable product that you can take with you anywhere? Would it feel more appropriate or interesting if it was something you would use only in your home?

    Thank you so much in advance for your feedback. In future posts, I'll include a link to my blog, where I'll be documenting my entire process, and you guys can see what I am designing.

    If there are any other things that occur to you, such as features for an app or device you think would be super helpful and make you feel supported in your journey...let me know!!

    Sincerely,

    Adrienne
