Fitness App Development Plan

This document presents a plan for developing a mobile application focused on fitness and weight management. It includes details on roles and responsibilities, budgeting, risk analysis (highlighting low privacy risks associated with wearable technology), and a conclusion emphasizing the app's potential benefits for users seeking to improve their health and well-being.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Executive Summary
This app is to develop for fitness and weight management. The main functionality of
this application is to track the details and energy intake of the user from the database and
help them to reduce their weight. By monitoring the person activities and then providing the
health tips for the purpose of maintaining the weight.

1. Introduction
Nowadays, many high quality mobile application are developed for health professionals
and users and focus the entire health care chain, therefore, data collection, diagnosis,
prevention, monitoring and treatment. Our team has developed a fitness and weight
management app which has been enable via android market. The objective of this study is to
share our experience with rolling out a fitness and weight management app. We discuss the
acceptance health application by healthcare industry and end-users. We discuss how mobile
apps will be spread in the closed future, tracking daily energy intake via recording food
consumed then concentrated on meal type and type of snacks from database of kind of meals
and energy content provided in the application. In addition, tracking energy content expanded
through daily activities. The app is to use of daily energy intake by inputting personal
information and also use adaptive algorithm to improve predictive accuracy of weight loss or
gain from the input ("How To Develop The Best Fitness Application?", 2017).

12. Risk Analysis
The Risk register and analysis is used to update the impact and probability of matrix
results. It perform the quality check on the matrix results. It easily categorize the risks to
handle the project. It also perform the urgency assessment to find which risk is requires to
immediate attention. But there is no high level risks. It has the low privacy risks. To
mitigate the privacy risks to use wearable and their corresponding applications.
13. Conclusion
This paper concludes with analysis of the user adoption of mobile application for fitness
and weight management based on literature research and experience with fitness and weight
management app. Health relevant apps on mobile devices are easy to use often and appeal to
lot of user. It permits to take measurement whenever they required. The apps provide a lot of
functionality for wither free or few cost. These apps are particular suitable for the people
those who want to be fit and manage the weight. Through this app we can track daily energy
intake through recording food consumed then concentrated on meal type and type of snacks
from database of kind of meals and energy content provided in the application. Additionally,
tracking energy content expanded through daily activities. By giving personal details such as
height, weight, age, gender, the app is use the daily energy intake and expenditure to weight
gain or loss and to use adaptive algorithm to improve predictive accuracy of weight loss or
gain from the input.
