Subject

Problem statement

- Helping diabetes patients with having a good diet

Objectives

- Researching the state-of-the-art on diabetes

- Researching the needs of a diabetic patient

- Creating an app to assist these people with their diet

Users

- People who have diabetes and could use assistance with their diet

The application we aim to develop has a clear group of users; diabetic patients. Approximately 1,2 million Dutch people have diabetes. There are two types of diabetic patients, called type 1 and type 2. About 90% of all diabetic patients are type 2 diabetics. For now, our focus is on the patients of type 1 diabetes, which is the more severe form. These people need a specific diet and have to regulate their blood sugar level by administering insulin. These patients will probably benefit from a wellmade application that can support them with their diet and blood sugar regulation. We will try to find out how these people can be best supported by an application, and what their needs are going to be. An interview with the patient-communication advisor of Diabeter Eindhoven, and diabetic patient type 1 himself, Wietske Wits, is planned for monday 13-02-2020. He will elaborate on the user needs he finds important.

State-of-the-art

Diabetes applications

The market of diabetes applications on smartphones has grown immensely over the past years. Users can choose between many options, no matter which operating system is running on their phone. Presented research has focused on Android users, since our prototype will also be developed for that platform. This article consists of a list with the most popular applications described. At the end there is a paragraph summing up the general findings.

1. Calorie Counter - MyNetDiary, Food Diary Tracker

link to Google Play

Made not specifically for diabetic people, but for anyone who wants to have better control over their diet. Biggest advantage is the very big database of foods, with the possibility of updates from users. Includes a barcode scanner that allows to scan the food package for easy calorie and nutrients entry.

The proposed (by the creators) way to use the application is as follows:

• Set a weight goal
• Enter a target date ( vacation, wedding, or reunion )
• Get a calculated Calorie Plan
• Log daily meals and exercise
• Follow daily Calorie Budget
• Reach your goal

The application is extensive and sophisticated. However, it lacks support for functionalities specifically in need by people with diabetes, such as measuring/logging sugar levels. Some of those features are only unlocked if the user buys the full version of the application. A subscription costs $9 USD monthly. Thus rendering this option attractive for our target user only if they are willing to pay.

Milestones

Week 1

• Form a group

Week 2

• Choose a subject, make it concrete.
• Update the wiki page with all the basic information (problem statement, objectives, users, deliverables, milestones)
• Prepare a meeting with a person from the diabetes centre
• Make a separate plan of the application development process

Week 8

Finish writing our wiki and give the presentation of our project
