Water reminder Application

Hi, In this post I will explain the UCD (User centered design) 9 steps which I have applied on the real Application (Water reminder app).



1. Define context:

Water reminder application is used for a particular purpose for reminding water, especially for students and businessmen.
Consumers: Students, Businessmen, and students of foreign countries who do not take care of their health. Any person can perform well only if their health is well. So, they need to use a water reminder application.
End-users: Students

2. Describe the user:

• Any age group, both male and female are included, and no height is required (Physical).
• Vision should be clear (perceptual).
• The user should know how to use the application (cognitive).
• The application can be used anywhere i.e. home, market, and classroom (workplace).
• The water reminder app is a worldwide application so the user can change the language. According to their native language (cultural diversity).

3. Task analysis:

• Install the application.
• Allow app permission.
• Set your profile.
• Select the time.
• Save reminder.

4. Function allocation:

• The system sets the task as the user needs.
• It records all your previous plans.
• Give weekly report.
• Record your drinking plan.

5. System layout:

• User-friendly interface.
• Both android and iOS devices.
• Desktop application.

6. Mockup and prototypes:

• Every feature will have a different prototype for the understanding of stakeholders.
• Draw a paper prototype of every phase or level.

7. Usability testing:

• If all the functions, components, modules, or features work correctly and the system responds to every request and gives a reminder timely then supply it in public or market.
• Otherwise, design the system and find the loopholes.

8. Interactive test and redesign:

Check the time of sending reminders from the system and how accurate it is.

9. Updates and maintenance:

The system will update and the maintenance team fixes bugs and errors after every 15 days to make the application work efficiently.
