Disabilities communities (e.g. Psychological, Neurological disability) that are not our current target communities.

Nutritional guidance.

Encourage other companies to offer more inclusive products/universal design.

Project Success Indicators:

Project Constraints/Obstacles/Challenges:

Finding enough participants to respond to the surveys and focus groups.

Finding paraplegic individuals to be ambassadors and to record and demonstrate the exercises for the app.

Technical fitness knowledge - We are not fitness trainers, physiotherapists, etc.

Engineering Capabilities - We only have one programmer on the team.

We have time limitations in addition with many members balancing other courses, jobs, and family lives. We have a set date that the app needs to be functional by and this time constraint could pose as an issue.

Project Assumptions:
