One of the key concerns of any person who wants to take care of this health is to make sure how they are going to be able to take care of their calorie intake (Tutt and Tutt, 2018, p.401). The idea of a healthy lifestyle is to make sure that the person gets to observe what they eat and the calorie intake is one of the primary things that is needed to be watched if one wants to bring about the improvement in their lifestyle (Tutt and Tutt, 2018, p.401). Now the first thing that is needed to be looked is that how the information processing is carried out in the Calorie Counter app that has become rather commonplace these days (Turner et al. 2015, p.513). For information processing, it takes uses of the unique algorithm along with the measurement from the body and impedance sensors to make sure that the consumption of the calories are being shared. The information is being processed when the metabolic rates are being showed (Turner et al. 2015, p.513).
Hardware
Now, if one looks at the hardware of the app, then the internals and the materials that are used in the exact same manner as that of the machine made and the mass produced units. Effort is also undertaken to make sure that the size and the colour of every component of the app is made consistent (Turner et al. 2015, p.513). The weight of the scale is about 500 grams and the dimension of the app are 190mm (W) x 215mm (D) x 22mm (H). The load weight is 5 kg / 11 pounds and the battery type that is going to be used in the case of this app is Four AAAs
Connectivity
Now, if one talk about the connectivity, rather than relying on the Wi-Fi system, in the case of this app, the mechanics of the connectivity is based on the way formation of the Bluetooth is being carried out (Turner et al. 2015, p.513). The connection interface can be made to happen with the help of the Bluetooth LE as well as the Smartbluetooth (Turner et al. 2015, p.513).
System Requirement
One of the key system requirements that are needed to be taken care off in this instance is that of the development of the retina display along with the iPad Air.
Operating System
The operation system should be iOS 7 or above to make sure that all the corresponding options of the app are running in the right manner to say the least (Turner et al. 2015, p.513).
Components
The key thing is to ensure that all the hardware components of the application must provide consistent performance and display (Turner et al. 2015, p.513).
Product Interface
Now if one talk about the way product interface is being carried out, the key premises of the whole thing is to make sure that the way development of the hardware and the software app is going to be carried out (Tsai et al. 2017, p.184). The software side of the things is specially about making sure that the robust technology is being used that allow the measurement of the calories to be done in the appropriate manner to say the least (Tsai et al. 2017, p.184).
Designing of the SITU Body
Incidentally, the designing of the SITU was being done in the manner to make sure that the internal parts of the prototype are being held together to make sure that the optimum performance is being achieved during the course of the whole process (Tutt and Tutt, 2018, p.401). Once the designing aspect of the whole thing was worked out, the important thing was to make sure that the working of the internals is being taken care off (Tsai et al. 2017, p.184). The idea is to move ahead and ensure that the first hand made SITU prototypes are being made to make sure that the degree of the performance that one gets to see is much better this time around (Tsai et al. 2017, p.184). When the internal mechanics of the prototype are being sorted out, the next thing that is needed to be done to make sure that the degree of performance is being achieved is by making sure that the first hand made SITU prototype is being used (Tsai et al. 2017, p.184).
Fine Tuning of the Internals
The next thing that one gets to know in terms of the way is to make sure that the button interface of the application is developed. If the button is setup in the right manner, it would go a long way towards making sure that the right sort of tactile feedback is being witnessed when it pressed (Shinsel and Curfman, 2014, p.057).
Output
To make sure that one gets a fair idea of the food allowance and the calorie intake that is being done by that person, all the user needs to do is to make sure that they set the windows at the food allowance for that corresponding day (Shinsel and Curfman, 2014, p.057). Right during the course of the day, the entire user is supposed to do is to make sure that they click on the top window (Tutt and Tutt, 2018, p.401). When these numbers would be reaching zero, the activity that the user is supposed to perform for that day is completed and they can move on towards the next of the tasks (Shinsel and Curfman, 2014, p.057).
Reset Functioning
The application comes with the reset function that is customized to make sure that the adaptability is being provided to the user (Segar and Marascalco, 2013, p.45). The user has to the option to make sure which number they would be using to reset the whole thing (Tutt and Tutt, 2018, p.401). Another important thing that is needed to be kept in mind is that how the factory reset is supposed to be done. With the premises of this app. The reset is supposed to be setup at the number 30 (Yamazaki and Yamazaki, 2014, p.182).
Digital Configuration of the Clicker
Other thing that is being done is to make sure is that how the digital configuration of the clicker has been carried out (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529). The idea is to make sure that both the determination of the weight loss plans and maintenance is being done in the right manner. In that way, it would go a long way towards making sure that the digital configuration is being done in the manner that make sure that the total calorie intake of the user is being figures out in the most accurate manner (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
Attachments Needed To Be Used With Calorie Controller
To make sure that the ease of the functionality is being achieved, the idea is to make sure that the belt loop is being achieved. Along with the belt loop, the other important thing that is needed to be used is the belt buckle (Yamazaki and Yamazaki, 2014, p.182). That is not the only way though the machine can be used as in order to make sure that the usage is much more convenient, there is going to be key ring as well with the user interface. The main premises of these attachments is to make sure that better usage of technology is being made (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
Advising the user about the Weight Loss Plan
One of the main points of the app is that it is going to help user with their lifestyle and the dietary choices. Thus the application goes a long way towards making sure that not only it tends to provide the user with their calorie intake plan, the other thing that it tends to do is that it make sure that the user is informed about the weight loss plan that they are supposed to be following and how they can make sure that they can achieve a degree of control as far as their overall dietary patterns are concerned (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
Basic Insight About The Deice
The concept that the device is following is consistent with the ideas that are important when the determination of the long term health of the individual is carried out and what is the importance of the physiological processes to make sure that the human organism and the energy accumulation and consumption is carried out in the appropriate manner (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
Display Interface
The display interface is setup in the manner that the long lasting monitoring is being done when it comes to the way calorie consumption is supposed to be carried out. The idea that the application wants to ensure is that how the long lasting monitoring of the glucose concentration in the blood is supposed to be carried out. Some of the other systems in the market were lacking when it comes to making sure that they were monitoring the glucose concentration in the blood streams are witnessed in the corresponding manner. The present system that is being used in this application is consistent with the modern ideas about how the human organism and the human body face considerable changes. The calorie intake is thus reflected in rather accurate manner due to the fact that how the overall changes in the body are bound to happen, especially after the person has taken any meal (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529). Now if one talks about the way level of accuracy was being maintained during the whole process, then it was dependent on the way the computing model was developed (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529). The computing model in this instance was based on the premises of 15-20 % which is just about enough to make sure that the determination of the calorie level is determined in the right manner (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529). The key advantage that it tends to offer is that the calorie level is measured with the calories that are consumed through one’s skin (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
Reflection
During the course of collecting insight about the application, there was quite a useful thing that was being learned during the whole process. It provided an insight about the way modern technology uses the latest input and output mechanism to make sure that some sort of value is added to the way health monitoring is supposed to be done. The other important learning is that how effort is needed to be made to make sure that the better end to end solution is being offered to the customer (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529). The premises is to make sure that one should be able to go beyond the conventional usage of the technology, instead effort is needed to be made to ensure that some sort of value is added in terms of the way technology has been used (Breton et al. 2015, p/.529).
