Overview

In this exploratory project, I conducted user research to gain insights about users' progress and tracking experiences via 1:1 live interviews to enhance our tracking feature.

Recruitment

Screener questions

  • Activity, experience, knowledge​

  • Interest in tracking health and fitness goals

  • Premium subscription history

  • Apps and device usage

Demographics

  • General MFP user population​

  • Member for >3 months

  • Tracks health and fitness

Interviews

I conducted 45-minute 1:1 live interviews. The interviews were split into two main parts:

  1. Progress feature screen share

  2. Topics: health and fitness goals, progress, data, and tracking

Analysis

I presented our research findings to executives and stakeholders.


Overall, the research showed people's need for holistic health and wellness tracking, but when it comes to their MyFitnessPal experience, the insights gleaned from holistic tracking must be contextualized and used to inform nutrition habits.
