1. Target users and purpose statement
The sedentary lifestyle is harmful to health; however, people usually forget time due to immersion in work or study. According to a survey from Columbia University (2017), If you have to sit in a chair most of the time every day, moving around every 30 minutes can alleviate some harmful effects. Therefore, Sedentary Reminder is an application designed for sedentary groups (like white-collar workers and students) to remain them of the time they have been sat and help them cultivate a healthy lifestyle.
