Client Design

Alongside the requirements specification, the client team provided a design (pictured below) of what the app should look like and the desired features. The requirements were as follows:

Interface

• There should be no menus or navigational hierarchy and all content should be accessible with one click.
• All important information should be visible at all times.
• The patient’s blood glucose level and recommended insulin doses should be displayed on a bifocal display graph. A bifocal display shows one set of information in detail, and a second set in summary for context using a 3D transform. Swiping along the display should allow the secondary information to be brought to the front. In this case, the main face would show one day’s worth of blood glucose data (default: today’s data) and the sidebars would show summary information about previous days for context, and the user could swipe through the days.

Features

• Should contain 4 domains: food, exercise, education and health as well as the afore mentioned bifocal graph.
• The food and exercise sections should allow the user to input meals and exercise activities respectively, including nutritional information, exercise duration and time of day.
• The health section should let the user view trends and enter miscellaneous information that may be relevant e.g. illness.
• The education section should contain advice and links to new information about diabetes management.
