This is my final prototype. I would have liked to make the transitions smoother with the graphs and animated so that the planes glide up and down but under the time pressure and limitations of invision, this was not possible. I also would have liked to make all the suggestions active buttons but the buttons I have chosen show the idea enough to know what would happen for all of them. Even though it doesn't look like much there are 17 different pages I have made for this. Link to final prototype: https://invis.io/BPS7IKGXMQU#/365429234_Intro_Page My website gives pilots a reality check that shows them what their future looks like. They get a clearer understanding of what the consequences of their lifestyle is and visually shows them the results of their current lifestyle which will scare them into action. the graphs on the left side show their current blood test results from their pilot medical exam. The green zone is where they need to be a pilot. These change when the us...

Got some feedback from my second prototype today which was really helpful because some things I hadn't thought about were brought up. https://invis.io/JFS6NOFP39Y#/365149603_Website_23-5 Instead of having the person enter the results they could just upload their blood test pdf the paragraph at the start may need more of an explanation about what the website does average time people are pilots could be the x axis in projected future graphs break up the big chunk of text suggested changes could be customized and prioritized to make the experience more personal the career options are humorous but may be a bit insensitive to those who do work in these jobs minor detailing issue Examples of predicting future health: the University of Auckland (SoPH) and Heart Foundation of NZ heart forecast is a really interesting example of how your health status can be predicted in the future and its interactivity makes it a great informative experience. http://yhf.co.nz/cli...

Suggestions for Lower cholesterol and reduce risk of diabetes Reduce saturated fats. Saturated fats, found primarily in red meat and full-fat dairy products, raise your total cholesterol. Decreasing your consumption of saturated fats can reduce your low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol — the "bad" cholesterol. Eliminate trans fats. Trans fats, sometimes listed on food labels as "partially hydrogenated vegetable oil," are often used in margarines and store-bought cookies, crackers and cakes, fried foods. Trans fats raise overall cholesterol levels. The Food and Drug Administration has banned the use of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils by Jan. 1, 2021. Eat foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids don't affect LDL cholesterol. But they have other heart-healthy benefits, including reducing blood pressure. Foods with omega-3 fatty acids include salmon, mackerel, herring, walnuts and flaxseeds. Increase soluble fiber. Solubl...

Week 9 presentation Some examples of data visualizations Next week we need to show a prototype so I have been planning my website The first draft of the prototype My design is for aviation students or pilots and I want to give them a reality check and show them what their future looks like, scare them into action. also gives them a clearer understanding of what the consequences of their lifestyle is and visually show them the results. it becomes transformative when they see visually how the easy changes they choose and click on change the results. they can visually see how this would improve their health and motivate them to make a behavioral change. the meters show where your blood test levels are at compared to the "good" range for being a pilot and also the bad range  the projected health levels show what the users future looks like if they don't make any changes, this can be quite confronting even if they have okay results now in 2...

Today in class, Klaus helped to clarify the blood data as everyone was a bit confused. It was good to find out his expectations and his insights into the data. We can either you john testings data and design something specifically for him or use the spreadsheet to design something regionally. I went back and looked at the spreadsheet because I have spent the most time analyzing that and I looked at what I found most interesting that could have the potential to become a project. The aviation medicals and HCG results I think are most interesting. So I started to research a little bit into them . AVIATION MEDICALS 464 - DAVID ONLY, 168 LIP, 1 HCG - pregnancy, 156 GLY, 1 GGT, 1 ELE, 1 CRP, 1 AST People tested for LIP and Gly mostly – cholesterol and diabetes Liver and kidneys are also tested sometimes – CRE/ELC and LFT Pregnant one also tested for NUC,CBC,CRP, The control of blood lipid levels (cholesterol and triglycerides) is an important step in controlling heart disease, st...
