User Manual
NudgeMe is an application that encourages people to look after themselves, especially in this time where people are isolated, and their mental wellbeing is suffering as a result. The ways it does this are by allowing users to keep a weekly record of their wellbeing and encouraging users to share their wellbeing.
NudgeMe has 4 pages:
- Wellbeing Diary
- Home
- Support Network
- Settings
-
Report wellbeing out of ten once a week
-
Track wellbeing and exercise
-
Share wellbeing information with people in your life
-
Building a support network
-
Being nudged to share your wellbeing and go for a walk when wellbeing is decreasing, or steps are extremely low
-
Send step goals to those in your network to encourage movement for those in your network who have low wellbeing levels or steps.
The home page can be used to view your wellbeing score from last week and your step level since your last Wellbeing Check.
Your Wellbeing Diary is a graph that displays your wellbeing levels and step counts from past weeks.
You can find wellbeing and step data from past weeks on the ‘Wellbeing’ page. It is represented by a bar chart, where purple bars represent wellbeing levels, and blue bars represent steps for each week.
During week 1, there will be no blue bar as NudgeMe only started counting your steps when you downloaded the app. Therefore, your first wellbeing check had a step count of 0.
The green region on the graph represents the range between the minimum 1000 weekly steps that is healthy and the recommended 70,000 steps per week.
