Purpose of Website

“The site will be designed to provide a personalised and interactive mean of

informing users of the risks they might be taking by their current lifestyle patterns”

What does this mean?

• We want the session on our website to be personal and different to every user who logs on

• Our site will do the work for them

How will we do this?

• The opening page will contain a quick survey

• The user will enter personal information, e.g weight, height etc

• Using JavaScript we will process this information, calculating BMI and comparing the entered information to the risk parameters given in ABS report.

What will the user gain?

• The information entered will be processed and the only the diseases that they at risk of will be displayed, according to their current condition and habits

• Information on diseases

• Advice

• Training Programs

• Eating Plans
