INTRODUCTION
The presentation deals with the
development of Fitness tracking application
and the usefulness of the fitness tracking
application and the several aspects that are
related to the development of fitness
tracking application.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The main goal is to develop fitness tracking
application
It will have various features that will help to
track health.
The features include sleep tracking,
exercise tracking and many more
The application can be helpful to athletes
and trainers and normal people

RATIONALE
The motivation to develop this is to help
monitor health
It motivates to lead a healthy life
Motivate the users by offering community
support
It brings a sense of success to the users

AREAS OF INVESTIGATION
The features of the
application need to
be investigated
The integrity and the
security needs to be
investigated
Accuracy of the
features needs to be
investigated

BACKGROUND RESEARCH
Research needs to be done from various
websites
The research needs to be done to see the
deliverables those are required
Research needs to be done on various
applications available

RESEARCH ETHICS
Research should be done according to
ethics
Ethics will not be violated during the
development
Various acts needs to be followed during
the development
The security issues in the project must be
prevented

PROPOSED PROJECT ARTEFACT
The project artefact that is proposed is
fitness tracking application
It can be installed in smartphones
There are various features in the artefact
The features include sleep tracking, setting
goals, food dietary plan and many more.

HARDWARE/SOFTWARE
The application will rely on various sensors
Gyroscopes, compasses and
accelerometers
Global positioning system
Heart rate monitor
Altimeters

METHODOLOGY
The methodology that will used to develop
this project is agile.
The advantages include productivity,
flexibility and less risk
The disadvantages include less
predictability, lack of documentation and
requires more time.

CONCLUSION
With time, people have understood that
physical fitness is most important and they
have become health conscious. The fitness
tracking application that will be developed
will help the people to track their physical
health and their fitness with the help of the
features that are offered by the fitness
tracking application
