The screens(designed by david) have taken into consideration everything a lot that we have discussed on this blog. If you review back to the photos of the meetings on the software requirements we can tick evaluate our final design to what we set out to achieve:
Simple Menus: Everything is clearly labelled and the buttons easily identifiable
Nutrition Colours: The food can be broken down into its components which is understood by the majority of the users. If, as expected, the owner uses this device often they will become familiar with the colours and be able to identify the healthier foods more easily by its 'components'.
Advanced Options: The owner can set up their own profile whereby they can set allergies or particular diets that they need to follow. This is really important for elderly people whose diets could make a huge difference to their actual health.
Clear: each screen is labelled and set out with to maximise clarity. No large words or huge amounts of texts are used. As our senses depreciate with age, and our target audience being the elderly this was a major factor in our design. If the text is too small then all the functionality of the device would be wasted as it would be deemed unusuable by a large proportion of the population we are aiming at.
