Week 14- Starting The Technical aspects

This week we conducted another series of user testing, focused on solving and understanding better the open issues we found during our last series. Among those issues was the fact that our cooperation with the “Hava clinic" did not come across well in our app, so we added tags that each volunteer could add to her profile according to the training she went through, in order to make it easier for our users to use. From our user testing, we understood that people thought it was the personal interests of the volunteers and not the professional knowledge they acquired in the "Hava clinic" training.

״אני מאמינה שאלו הם תחומים שיותר מעניינים אותה או שהיא יותר טובה בהם ולכן היא בחרה להוסיף לה את התגיות שלהם״

Now, we are trying to think how to emphasize and display clearly the fact that the tags represent the training the volunteer has been through, and also the fact that the app is made in cooperation with the “Hava clinic". We want the app to convey this message and not only have it on the initial opening page. We hope that by next week you would be able to see the outcome of it.

technical aspects

So on the tech side led by Reshef and Hadar, we started our main app project on Android Studio, we built the logging page, and the main home page with a "bottom navigation activity" where we’ll have three main fragments:

1. Home

2. Tips

3. Settings

On the home page, we will have all the info and communication means with the volunteers.

In our MVP we decided to build only the chat part of the app. We will use the Firebase features of chatting online to send and receive messages.
