Digital Personal Trainer Prototype for Workout Analysis

This digital personal trainer (DPT) prototype emphasizes easy logging, pre-programmed routines, workout statistics, and feedback modification. Developed through a process involving user testing and revisions, the platform targets users with any workout experience aged 18 and above, offering functionalities like creating profiles, goals, and routines, logging results, and analyzing feedback. The platform is designed for PDA devices and created using Visual Basic .NET, focusing on user-centered design and versatility. Future goals include enhancing current features, adding wireless capability, web accessibility, automated workout hints, and customized workout analyses.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Digital Personal Trainer Adam Axelrod Tony Brown Tim Finley Chris Newman Ben Tedesco

  2. Presentation • Requirements and Intended Users • User Tasks • Demonstration of DPT • Development process • Revisions • Conclusions and Future Work

  3. Requirements • Users desire the following capabilities: • Easy logging facility for their workout • Pre-programmed routine based on preferences • Statistical results of their workouts • Feedback from workout routines for modification

  4. Intended Users • Experience Level • Any amount of workout experience • Age / Gender • 18 and older • Intended for men and women

  5. User Tasks • Create a new user profile (new users) • Create a goal and indicate target muscle • Create a workout (blank or by preferences) • Log workout results • Modify existing workout routines • Analyze results from workouts and get feedback • Email results to physician or specialist

  6. Prototype Demonstration • Development Platform • Built for PDA device for easy use in gym • Created using Visual Basic .NET • Supports Pocket PC 2002

  7. Transition Diagram

  8. Development Process • Created low-fidelity prototype • Conducted Usability Test • Revised prototype based on suggestions

  9. Usability Test • Subjects • 8 total: 6 male, 2 female • Age Range: 19-39 • Workout Experience Range: 1 year to 20 years • Subjects tested one at a time and in isolation • Simulated on a computer (rather than PDA) • Simulated outside of the gym in rooms with noise levels variable to noise in a gym

  10. Revisions • Modified navigation system to be action-oriented • Provided backward navigation for viewing/logging screens • Improved ease of use and program flow • Fixed minor technical issues

  11. Conclusion • Some tasks ended up being too ambitious • Basic functionality is implemented • Storing results and analysis are still “in development” • The DPT has considered flaws in current products • We have maintained our focus of creating a user-centered and versatile device

  12. Future Work and Goals • Complete and enhance current implementation • Add advanced features to the DPT: • Wireless capability • Web accessibility and workout database • Automated hints for workouts based on preferences • More research on creating customized workouts • More research on types of workout analyses and feedback methods

  13. Acknowledgments • Thanks to all the following people who helped make the DPT a success: • Dr. Ben Shneiderman and Adam Perer • Kevin Tom, Kirt Fulcher, Mara Hemminger, Christine Hwang, and Rishi Gupta for their suggestions • All the subjects from our usability test

  14. Questions • Any questions, comments, suggestions?
