User Testing

We conducted the user feedback tests by making appointments with a single father and three students from our participatory workshops and talking to them individually. First, we asked them to try out our app without telling them what the product is for or how to use it in order to see if our product is understandable and meets our purpose. Then we interviewed the users with the rest of our questions.

We asked them the following questions:
1. Do you know what is the product for?
2. What are your feelings towards the product's interface?
3. What are your feelings towards the product's usability?
4. Would you use it? Why or why not?
5. Would you recommend your family member to use it?
6. Do you think it will help to tighten the relationship between you and your family members?

To summarize our findings, the users all knew the app was for keeping a schedule and also some health related function at first glance. After we told them that their initial impression of the product's use was correct. They said that they liked that the buttons and text on screen were large and easy to press although three users said that they would like to see a more seamless integration between the calendar and health sections of our app. They liked the fact that the vital signs checker was integrated into a case that serves also to protect the phone. One user said that he would use the product if it the case worked for many phones. The three younger users said they would use if mostly for the calendar part and one said they would like if they would compare their schedules with their friends'. They all would recommend it to their family members because they would like to see how it would work out within their families. All four users said that they thought it was neat to be able to find free times because they don't get to see family members often. The students expressed regret they couldn't spend more time with their respective parent and hoped appreciated our concept. They said that they could definitely see our project serving its purpose of tightening the family relationship and time management.
