According to the World Health Organization's May 10, 2023 report on the prevalence of obesity (percentage of children with a body mass index 2 standard deviations above the median) among children and adolescents (5 to 19 years old), the rate of obesity among U.S. children is a whopping 21.4%.
There are many factors that lead to childhood obesity, such as eating habits, lack of exercise, family genetics, lack of sleep, psychological stress, and one of the most critical factors is lack of exercise leading to childhood obesity.So the design challenge will be:
Secondary Research
To increase physical activity among children and adolescents, I first conducted a research to understand the reasons behind their lack of physical exercise, and identified the following key factors:
In order to better understand user pain and design challenges, I made a persona based on secondary research.
Based on the user persona, I made Lucas's empathy map from five perspectives.
Through this Empathy Map, we can better understand Lucas's experience in physical exercise, which helps in designing an AR multimodal interactive sports game that meets his interests and needs. This will provide an engaging and physically beneficial gaming environment.
Where can we step in and offer a benefit?
How Might We ... solve problem xy?
