1. Context

FitTrack is a fitness tracking app with a strong user base, allowing users to monitor physical activities, track health metrics, and set fitness goals. While the app performs well in terms of functionality, recent analytics have revealed a decline in daily engagement, which may be due to a lack of interactive and motivating content.

1.1 Current Scenario

Users mainly interact with the app for tracking physical activity, viewing health metrics, and checking progress towards goals. While the tracking features are reliable, there is limited content that motivates users to return regularly or stay active within the app. Currently, FitTrack does not have community social features that allow users to connect and share progress.

1.2 Limitations or challenges

The app's absence of engagement features for both individuals and the community results in diminished motivation for interacting within the app. Lack of personalized content, like customized workout routines or meal plans. Absence of gamification elements that motivate continued use through challenges or rewards. No social or community feature to allow users to interact, share, or participate in group activities.
