2. Empathize
From 1980 to 2012 the adolescent obesity rate has
increased from 5% to 21%.
Youth obesity can result in high blood pressure and high
cholesterol.
Problem: High rates of teen obesity because of high
internet usage rates.
3. Ideate
Treadmills with internet connection already exist, but they
don’t have an impact on the desire or influence that
people need to either work out or lose weight.
We need to create a way to make people workout, with a nice reward for
their accomplishment.
We decided to create a new type of treadmill
5. Prototype
According to their height and weight the treadmill will
determine how fit the person is and how capable they are of
running one full lap around the average track. If they are
overweight according to the treadmills analysis, this sets
their average pace which can increase their internet speed
while they continue to run.
6. Test
Get feedback from some people to find out if our idea would
sell.
Survey those who are interested in weight loss.
