Project 3 - Final Design

After the critique session, the personae for this project were modified. The software is now designed for a persona named Marie Eriksson who is a gym instructor. Unlike the old system, DF50 in the new system is stationary and is always connected to a computer.

Personae

The software was design for a persona called Marie Eriksson. Marie Erickson has been working as a gym instructor for 10 years. A single woman of 32 years of age, she doesn’t use the computer much.

Marie's goals are:

  • To fulfil the clients’ needs
  • To get visual representations of the clients progress to assist explanations
  • To appear professional to clients
  • Wants to be able to motivate client


Marie's daily use scnenario:

A client asks for her readings to be taken. Marie takes her laptop and DF50. She then asked to client to lie down while she attaches the wires.
After the reading is taken, she shows the result to the client and gives her some explanation. She then print the result for the client.

DF50 Station

In the new system design, DF50 will always be use along side a computer. Since the reading has to be taken while the gym user is lying down, a new reading station is designed.

The reading station consists of a bed with a small area for a computer and the DF50. Gym user will lie down while their reading is taken. Then they can see the result of the computer.
