Personalized exercises for managing rheumatoid arthritis
In a team of five, we designed a concept exercise app for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It creates a simple personalized exercise plan because regular exercise is hugely beneficial for managing this life-long debilitating pain.
The problem is being active can be very difficult for many people with RA. The pain in the joints can make basic tasks like changing clothes only possible while sitting down. There are existing apps that provide exercises for reduce RA-related pain, but they tend to be overwhelming. So we designed an app that provides personalized exercises through a setup process. Over time, it records your progress and adjusts your exercise plan accordingly.
By the end of the project we developed an interactive prototype that we tested with our users. Our instructor was highly impressed with the technical level of our finalized prototype.
