Human Computer Interaction: Workplace Activity Monitoring Sketch

This assignment presents an HCI sketch for a fitness band application designed to monitor employee activity within a manufacturing workplace. The application, accessible on smartphones, tracks metrics like steps, blood pressure, and resting time, with the goal of promoting employee health and preventing overwork. The application features alerts for managers when employees exceed their allocated rest time, distinguishing it from other market offerings. The design includes lockscreen notifications and a user-friendly interface for employees to view their daily health data and log in to track their progress. The project aims to improve employee wellness, increase activity levels, and foster a healthier work environment, with the supervisors monitoring the daily activities of the employees. The application also provides health monitoring elements that the employees can use to track all the activities done by them. The application is designed to be motivational and the implication of this application in the organisation could be observed as employees getting active in their work and there would be significant increase in the health conditions of the employees as this application would prevent any major illness among the employees.

“Get moving at work!”
In the present competitive markets, the businesses requires their employees to be
significantly active and perform their tasks with accuracy in the allocated time. The efficient
working employees helps the business to grow and earn significant profit. Several
organisations are presently implementing the activity tracker bands and the health bands for
the employees to monitor their activities and also monitor the health conditions of the
workers.
The designing of the watch is done with the help of sensors that helps in constant
monitoring of the health conditions of the employees. In the designing that has been done in
this assignment, it could be observed that the application of the band is available in the
smartphones. The target audience for this fitness band are the employees. The supervisors or
the managers monitor the daily activities of the employees. The average resting time per day
in the workhours is maximum 2 hours. In any condition, when it has been observed that any
human is resting for 2 hours straight then an alert is sent to the mobile devices notifying them
about their resting time left. In lockscreen of the mobile device, a notification pops up of the
application that notifies the employee about the resting time left for that individual left for
that day. The employee then visits the application for checking the health monitor of that day
and then go back to work. The workplace for which this application has been designed is for
the manufacturing industry company where it is required to work significantly more for
producing the products for the customers quickly and also perform the repair work for the
customers. The goal of the company is to offer the customers with the high-quality products
and also provide the employees with the hospitable and healthy environment of working.
With the help of the fitness band, the managers or the supervisors could efficiently monitor

the health conditions of the employees and also help the inefficient workers to improve
significantly.
The employee’s wellness programs are mainly the most trending aspect of present
times. Most of the organisations have implemented this technology for the employees of the
organisation. Due to the increased awareness of the health risks, low costs of several
wearable trackers, the intention is in being increasing healthier and active and there is the
growing interest in quantified self, and it is no wonder the several workers are utilising the
gadgets for tracking the physical activities in their homes and in their workplaces. The
StayFit is could be described as the wristband that helps in tracking the physical activities as
well as the health statistics per day for the people. The bands are personalised for the
individuals and could be controlled by the mobile applications for allowing the appropriate
customisation of the major information that is being tracked and recorded by the device. The
information that is managed by the StayFit band could help in tracking the heart rate, the
calories and food, miles walked, and amount of resting time that has been allocated to the
employees for the organisation.
It could be considered that the StayFit devices are significantly beneficial for the
organisational employees. The band is significantly motivational. For the employees
managing any active lifestyle, the activity itself could is the appropriate reward. Endorphins
are released during the physical activity and it helps in making the people feel good that
prompts the individuals to stay constantly active. Moreover, the bands provide various types
of motivation. With the help of the data of the activeness monitored, the employees could be
made to work more and be significantly motivated. The implication of this application in the
organisation could be observed as employees getting active in their work and there would be
significant increase in the health conditions of the employees as this application would
prevent any major illness among the employees. This application is different from the other

applications that are available in the market as this application provides the alert function to
the managers of the company when the employees are resting for more than their allocated
time. None of the applications available in the market provides this particular functionality
and this feature makes this product significantly beneficial for the employees and the
managers of the organisation.

In this screen, the employees are required to login into the application to view the
data. If the employee is new, then it is required for the individual to register to the application
for monitoring the health data and the fitness data of the individual. The employees could
provide the employee email id that has been provided to them by the organisation and the
password that has been set by the employee. As soon as the email id and the password are
provided, then they could click on sign in and enter the application

syncing time has been mentioned then the steps, blood pressure, the distance walked by them
is mentioned. In the last section, the average resting monitor has been mentioned and it could
be checked by the individuals with the click on “Check” button.
