In the realm of modern family life, the challenges of managing home-cooked meals have grown more complex. Young families, in particular, grapple with the daunting issues of food waste, inefficient grocery shopping, tight budgets, and environmental impact. The absence of an organized system often leads to expired ingredients, unnecessary expenses, and an unsustainable cycle of waste. As time becomes scarcer, the struggle to balance nutrition, variety, and convenience further compounds these difficulties.

Our secondary research unveiled a pressing issue: food waste in the US is alarmingly high, with about 40% of produced food going to waste, equivalent to a staggering 133 billion pounds annually. Families unknowingly contribute significantly. To delve deeper into this problem, we initiated primary research, employing a comprehensive methodology encompassing observational studies, one-on-one interviews, and structured questionnaires. Employing the Affinity diagram technique, we meticulously organized and evaluated the amassed data. This led to an Empathy Map and Personas that reveal user needs and behaviors. These insights are the bedrock of "Diet," our solution to tackle food waste.
After brainstorming, we chose to develop an interactive system linking smart fridges and mobile phones. We performed Competitive Analysis and created a Sitemap, Sketches, Wireframes, and Paper Prototypes for various OS on phones and fridges. This rigorous process ensures "Diet" will efficiently tackle food waste, optimize shopping, and revolutionize meal management.
The Diet intelligent interactive system offers a range of valuable features. It aids users in efficiently managing refrigerator ingredients by sending expiration reminders and suggesting recipes. Moreover, the system facilitates online ingredient purchases and generates shopping lists. Additionally, users can access and manage their health data through this versatile platform.
