Abstract

This paper describes the design and development of a nutrition assessment and diet improvement mobile web application for a company that specializes in nutrition analysis software, called DINE Healthy, LLC. The purpose of this mobile webapp is to allow customers to track their diet and get personalized nutrition analysis while on the go. It will serve as a mobile companion and synchronize with a fully featured cloud-based web application in production. This paper explains the decision to build this product using web technologies that allow for cross platform deployment versus a native solution. Also included is detailed information on the analysis and development process including market analysis, user interface designs, and use case and project management documentation. This paper discusses technical challenges and concludes with explanations on how deliverables were addressed, lessons learned, and future work for this mobile webapp.
