FitAide

Our fitness assistance application, FitAide, is an Android app coded in Java which aims to empower individuals to improve their health and nutrition. There are four main features which are accessible from the initial user interface, with tiled icons for easy access. The first is what sets us apart from the competition, Workout Tracker. This feature logs reps and sets performed by users doing bicep curls, and allows the user to save their data upon completion. Moreover, if the user is exercising with an improper form, an alert is sent to the Android device to notify the user. This injury-preventing service is made possible using the Myo Armband to track the direction of motion. If the user has excessive motion in a direction other than up and down, the alert is triggered and potentially serious injury is prevented. The second feature, Nutrition Log, allows the user to enter meals and calories taken in to keep their nutrition balanced. The third feature is a clean-interfaced pedometer which allows the user to track his or her steps in increments determined by the user. The fourth feature encompasses the data collected in the aforementioned functions. Entitled ‘My Profile’, the user can easily view the history of activities and nutrition tracked by the sensors in the phone and Myo Armband. This data storage utilizes Parse, an online cloud platform for reliable upload and retrieval. When used in conjunction,, FitAide’s four revolutionary components can truly improve anybody’s health and lifestyle.
