## Problem 1

The first problem that I am examining is creating the usability survey in order to gain a better understanding of how the users are interacting with the app.
While the Eat4Genes team understands our intent with the app, it is important to make sure that users know how the app operates. We want to know if users are having any trouble.

### Methods

To address the problem, there was a survey created in Google Forms that was shared.
The first section is collecting information such as name, email, if they are viewing on computer or mobile, and hardware information.
The second section is selecting a disease and then flipping through the various pages to see identify useful data points about the outputted results.
The third section is feedback about how a patient or provider would react to the app.
The fourth section is feedback regarding which features testers did not useful, additional features, and any general comments.

Each question was carefully crafted with the intent of ensuring that it was very clear what the user needed to do without ambiguity.
This way, results can be consistent even when future iterations of the app are developed.

### Results

The survey was sent out to a variety participants and there have been 15 responses.

There is a wide variety of findings based on the responses. Each response highlights different suggestions that the tester thinks would be good to add to the app.

### Discussion

Most of the responses rated the pages in the app easy to use, meaning that users are able to access the information about healthy eating.

The strengths of the results is that they are ideas that can be used to improve the app.
The limitations of these results is that everybody ultimately has a different vision of what they would like to see implemented and it is not possible to have every feature without the app become cluttered.

The usability survey is an important part of the creation of the app since it was one of the ways of testing and marks where the team was in the development process at a given time.
Testing software like the app is important since it discovers defects before the delivery to the end user, which guarantees the quality of the software.
Testing makes the software more reliable and easy to use.
Moreover, user experience can be measured using testing since there are questions asking the testers their opinions.

## Problem 2

Now I will conduct a case study into a user with obesity. This means I will pretend I am someone who wants to find more information about nutrients to fight obesity.
The first scenario I will conduct a case study into a user with obesity. This means I will pretend I am someone who wants to find more information about nutrients to fight obesity.

Obesity is a disorder involving excessive body fat that increases the risk of health problems. Obesity is a problem throughout the United States of America.

The survey was sent out to a variety participants and there have been 15 responses.

There is a wide variety of findings based on the responses. Each response highlights different suggestions that the tester thinks would be good to add to the app.

One of the main points of feedback is that there needs to be a better distinction between patient and provider. Currently, the app requires a high level of medical literacy so it would be more suited for a healthcare provider or researcher.

Moreover, another suggestion that testers provided is the ability to view multiple diseases/conditions at once and how they might combine together. This has a real-world use case since a user might have conditions/diseases concurrently.

# Summary and Recommendations

From Eat4Genes, the most unique part was the data transformation process of combing through the studies into R dataframes that can be queried in a SQL-like manner to the app creation.
