Research
We discovered that 55% of Londoners have experienced feelings of loneliness at some point (City Index Survey 2017) and that 33% of Londoners have said they are doing significantly less sport now than before (Sport England Survey 2020).
Furthermore, 25% of adults do not engage in the recommended amount of daily physical activity (World Health Organisation 2019) and 51% of adults said lack of motivation prevents them from working out (Student Survey 2021).
We set ourselves the goal to do something about this. We found out that 95% of people who join a weight-loss program with friends are more likely to finish it (National Library of Medicine). Social relationships and mutual support in physical activities can assist everyday physical and mental health problems (Journal of Mental Health 2018).
Prototyping and ideating
We developed the v0 test app that we could use in our first set of sessions, working with instructors to make our games work around them and contributing to user experience.
We had 5 user tests with different volunteers each time so we could understand the strengths and weaknesses of our app.
