Pedometer Android and Web App.

Primary LanguageJava

android-web-pedometer-app (2014)

Pedometer is the name of an instrument that estimates the distance traveled on foot by recording the number of steps taken. Please see the Demo Notes section below or watch my demo 46s video (set the speed to 0.5 slower if you find it too fast) to get the idea of how the app works.

Introduction

This project includes Pedometer android app (which tracks your steps, calculates your speed and calories etc.) and a web app which is a single page application dashboard where you can find graphical chart illustration of your data. You can also set goals for each category (such as number of steps or calories that you want to achieve in a day). These goals' data will then also be collected and displayed on the graph which will give you insights on how well you have done.

The data displayed on the web is synchronized with those on your device on real time, which is a great and useful feature. Imagine situation where doctor/nurse can see and keep track of their patients' exercises progress remotely. The UI is built with the idea that the user just need to use once or twice to know how to use all the options. All the information needed will be provided for the users in one single page app so that they don't need to open a new tab/navigate to another page, which can help in saving time and enhance user experience as well.
