Nutrivee

Project Overview

BodyAI Diet is a conceptual, AI-assisted nutrition app designed to help users track meals, analyze scanned foods, receive personalized adjustments, and stay consistent with their diet through intelligent reminders

Target Audience

They value speed, clarity, low cognitive load, and supportive interaction without overwhelming steps

The Problem/Pain Point

• Staying consistent with their diet when they eat substitute foods
• Understanding whether a scanned meal fits their nutritional goals
• Feeling guilty after eating something different
• Managing meal reminders or supplement reminders effortlessly
• Navigating complex health apps that require too many steps or clicks

User Personas

To better understand the goals and frustrations of my users, I created two fictional personas. These personas helped guide my design strategy and kept user needs in focus throughout the process.

Design Solution

BodyAI Diet leverages AI to guide users effortlessly:

• AI Food Scan: Analyzes scanned meals, shows which meal it fits, and suggests adjustments for calories, protein, or activity.
• NutriVee Character: Friendly assistant across all screens, handles reminders, reads messages aloud, and offers chat guidance.
• AI Tools: Navigation bar icon provides “Ask Anything” and “Scan with AI” functions.
• Smart Reminders: Trigger notifications with NutriVee reading the message and a ringing bell.

Competitive Research

I analyzed major diet and nutrition apps such as:

• MyFitnessPal
• Lose It!
• MyPlate
• Lifesum

Key gaps identified:

• High friction in adding meals
• Little emotional support
• AI interactions are not clear or are hidden
• Reminders are generic, not adaptive

Opportunity:
 Create an app that feels guided, personal, friendly, and extremely easy to use

User Testing

(Two Rounds of Experiments)

Round 1 – Low-Fidelity Prototype
Goal: Validate basic flow, clarity, and hierarchy.
Findings:

• Users were confused about the difference between “Ask AI” and NutriVee
• Reminders were not clearly visible
• Some icons felt similar and caused hesitation
• Users wanted custom notes inside reminders

Round 2 – High-Fidelity Prototype
Goal: Validate the refined design, interactions, and visual flow.
Results:

• The flow felt simple, purposeful, and enjoyable
• Users completed tasks faster
• NutriVee’s reminders felt intuitive and friendly
• Notification window with ringing bell improved visibility
• Accessibility reading option was appreciated
