Women Weight

Introduction

The "Women Weight" project aims to develop a user-friendly mobile application specifically designed for Indian women aged 35–50. The app focuses on helping users lose 5–8 kg in 8–12 weeks without giving up Indian desserts. It emphasizes portion control, meal timing, and weekly activities, providing a culturally relevant and supportive experience.

System Overview

The Women Weight app is tailored for urban and semi-urban Indian women who consume typical Indian home food and sweets. The app's primary goal is to facilitate safe weight loss by adjusting portion sizes and meal timing, rather than banning desserts. The tone is friendly and non-judgmental, with content presented in a mix of Hindi and simple English.

Signature Design Concept

Interactive Indian Food Journey: The landing page will feature an animated journey through a traditional Indian kitchen. Users can interact with various food items like roti, sabzi, and laddoo, which animate to show portion control and meal timing. Using motion/react, the animation will guide users through a typical day, showing how they can enjoy their favorite foods while managing portions. The journey will be visually rich, with vibrant colors and smooth transitions, creating an engaging and educational experience.

LANDING HERO MOTION BRIEF

The hero animation will depict a day in the life of an Indian woman managing her diet. The scene starts with a breakfast table, where items like roti and curd appear. As the user scrolls, the scene transitions to lunch and dinner, showing portion sizes and dessert allowances. The animation loops every 10 seconds, with interactive elements like tapping on food items to see portion tips. The reduced-motion state will simplify the animation to static images with descriptive text.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

• Intended Interaction Model: Animated
• The landing page will feature moderate scroll-triggered reveals and hover transitions, with spring physics on interactive elements. This approach will ensure a polished and engaging user experience, suitable for a feature-rich product page.

• It should support offline access for daily task tracking.
• The app should ensure data privacy and secure user information.
