Research
After we have defined the problem and honed on the approach to solve it, we went on to do some research to validate the idea.
Surveys
We chose to start with the survey method in order to reach many people and get as much data as possible. We used Google Forms to create and send the survey. After that, we analyzed the answers and found that:
Majority of the users (70%) go out for meals while they prefer home cooked meals
Many users have allergies or diet restrictions
Some users are skipping meals due to their limited time to cook
The majority of the users rely on fast foods for time constraints and cost effectiveness
Many users experience discomfort after eating but unsure why
User Interviews
To understand our users more, we wanted to dig deeper to understand our potential users and therefore we decided to run user interviews. We found that:
Some users need to find variety of foods rich in specific minerals such as iron due to deficiencies
Some users want to be more health conscious but lack guidance
Some users need to optimize their grocery shopping list to prevent food spoiling
Some users find it challenging to keep up the healthy diet due to lack of time to cook
Many users don’t know what recipes to look for when they need to cook, let alone spend the time to look for them
