Design Brief
Market User
Objectives Brand
What are Dominant Trends in the Health
and Mobile Marketplace?
• Promoting healthier lifestyles
• Intuitive eating
• Subconscious health
conditioning
• The preventative health trend
• Wellness as corporate health
benefits.
• Non-intrusive interactions
v6
What are Unmet Needs of the User?
• People who want overall wellness
success.
• People who do not have:
- A lot of time to devote to using a
mobile health application
- An understanding of what is healthy
and unhealthy.
• People who aren’t particularly
enthusiastic with large lifestyle
changes.
• People who prefer Mobile-First
and/or Mobile-Only.
What are we Aiming to Accomplish?
• Create an application that can help
people make healthier decisions.
• Deliver a mobile experience that is
lightweight and non-obtrusive.
• Give users a sense of
accomplishment about their health.
• Allow to share and participate with
others who use the application.
What are the Point of Differentiation for
our Product?
• LilBits is different from other health
applications on the market because
lilBits is more than a health app, it is an
educational tool to teach simple
healthy everyday behavior.
Design an experience that
allows users to easily accept
small health challenges in
an effort to change
intuitions about what is
healthy and what isn’t.

Use Cases
v4
Bills is shown the functions of the app
with a optional tutorial, and asked to
allow the application to send
notifications, and for access to his
phone’s location and motion sensors.
Onboard
Push notifications are sent to Bill based on his location,
his motion, and his scheduling patterns. He can dismiss
the notification, accept the advice, or reject the advice
from the notification. He can also learn more about this
recommendation in the app after he has taken action
on the notification. These various reactions to
notifications determine the amount of ‘bits’ Bill earns.
Notifications
Bill can open this app at anytime
to see a dashboard ‘card’ with his
daily progress, overall progress
and a history of
recommendations, the ability to
read more about rationale for
recommendations, and a app
leaderboard and a settings menu
button
Dashboard
Bill can challenge a friend to complete the
same challenge he has, and also get
challenges from other users with Buddy Bits.
Bill can add his social network accounts to the
app to connect with more friends, and answer
short survey questions to help make his
challenges more tailored to his situational
context.
Extra Bits
Here are some examples:
a. Bill wakes up and makes himself some coffee, he gets a
notification reminding him eat something for breakfast,
perhaps a bowl of granola.
b. Bill goes to McDonalds for lunch, and gets a notification
suggesting a lower calorie item on the menu.
c. Bill spends his afternoon sitting at a workbench, he gets a
notification prompting him to get up to stretch and take a
break.
d. Bill watches some TV with his family, he gets a notification
to take a short walk.
e. Bill goes out drinking with his buddies, he gets a notification
about getting to bed early enough to be well rested in the
morning.

20. User Testing
“Smart watch is nice but I'll never
own a smart watch. So app is
better for me.”
-Jordan Makin
“Insurance discount would be a nice addition,
but it wouldn’t be the selling point. I would
probably use the app regardless of if I could
get a discount”
-Nate Farr
“Is this like a scare tactic? Could the app integrate into
local restaurants for menus and recognize you're at
your gym.”
- Eric Brown
“This is exactly what I need in my life. I’m so busy, I don’t have
to think about this stuff, it thinks for me. But the notifications
need to be relevant to me/something I’ll actually do or I’ll just
ignore them.”
-Justin Thorpe
“That's nice that you’re telling me to be
healthy, but I want to know WHY. If it’s a good
enough reason, I’ll probably remember and
do it again in later.”
-Maria Quan
