Tackling Challenges With Design Thinking & Data Science
1. Establish an easy to use mobile app presence
ParticipACTION’s end user demographic was quite broad, with the app meant to cater to Canadians of all types over the age of 18 who weren’t meeting the optimal level of physical activity. Through our custom design and discovery process, we leveraged user and market research, user empathy, and ideation to develop a user experience that could meet the needs of users across different walks of life and demographics while offering a compelling and easy to use mobile product.
2. Educate, engage and become a trusted source of information on physical activity
ParticipACTION’s goal wasn’t simply to build another fitness app. Its mission was to help drive behavioural change in Canadians to encourage them to be more active. This meant the mobile experience had to help educate users about health and physical activity, as well as create an engaging experience that would help users establish goals and habits that they could easily add into their busy lives. With personalized educational content and features that encouraged engagement – like the “Take 10” feature and the ability to earn rewards based on physical activity – the mobile experience was designed to offer both an instructive and “sticky” experience that would encourage regular use of the app.
3. Capture, analyze, and leverage data to support behavioural change with respect to physical activity
The ParticipACTION app used behavioural change science as its basis for promoting more active lifestyles to its users. Leveraging data science to serve personalized content to users, the app helps to tailor the experience in a way that is most relevant to the individual user. And with the ability to record physical activity that goes beyond what is traditionally thought of as exercise – including items like housework – the app offers options for people from all walks of life to find ways to add physical activity into their day.
