Design Process
Our group decided to use a individual design process where four of our members produced prototype designs:
Comparing Prototypes
SimilaritiesThree tab layout for main screens Slider for mood inputBasic layout of Mood Input and Graph Screens
DifferencesMain menu screen/Use of Android menu screen/Tabs Emoticons/Text for mood selection Calendar/Menus for date selection Date Range/Number of days to view for graphing dataMedication input
Combining Features
Tab structure more intuitive than Android menu
Making mood input the default tab
Scrolling popups chosen over scrollpanes
Combining medications & alarms with calendar
Combining email functionality with graphs
Range of dates available to graph
Mood Input Screen
Record date & time: Datepicker
Slider from 1 to 10 of intensity
Spinner (drop-down) to select descriptive mood
Optional note to record data
Graph Screen
Time Period to be displayed: Spinner (drop-down)
Medication to be displayed: Spinner (drop-down)
Line Graph/Circle Graph: Make Graph overlay appear
Export Data: To an e-mail address
Calendar Screen
Calendar: Select dates to see medication/mood for that day
View/Edit Medications: Medications on secondary screen
View/Edit Alarms: Alarms on secondary screen
Usability TestingPre-Test Questionnaire:
Name AgeAndroid ExperienceVisual impairments
2 simple tasks requiring use of a single screen
2 advanced tasks requiring use of and navigation between multiple screens
Post-Test Survey:Ease of use for each screen (1-9 scale)Best/worst aspects of application
Usability Testing Results (continued)
Specific user feedback:Certain features were hard to locate due to poor
organization/labelsFeedback should be offered when using the mood
input slider.Color and design should be improved to make the
app more visually appealing.Readability of graphs needs improvement.
Final Status
Functional user interface in need of minor improvements
Minor interface improvements:Color & visual styleRelabeling of buttonsConsistent font-sizes, button positions
No back-end database
Future Development
Redesign the tab structure
Research set of moods that can be selected
Implement a backend database to store mood, medication, and alarm data according to dates
Implement dynamic graphing functionality
Implement email/export functionality
Tie alarms/notifications to device notifications
