class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Supporting\u202fhealthy aging<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cody Nigg, a senior majoring in Computer Science &amp; Software Engineering, had been working on a health tracking app of his own,\u202fsimilar to\u202fa Fitbit, when he discovered one of\u202fhis\u202fprofessors was working on a similar app tailored for older&nbsp;adults.&nbsp;An assistant professor in\u202fthe School of STEM, Dr. Annuska Zolyomi\u202fis an expert in human-computer interaction and the design of inclusive user experiences. Nigg asked to join Zolyomi on her latest project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While\u202fnew technology\u202fis often geared toward younger users, older adults are sometimes overlooked, Nigg said. Zolyomi\u2019s app \u201cHealthMate\u201d aims to improve fitness accessibility by supporting the unique user interface and cognitive needs of that population.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zolyomi\u202fand her team conducted interviews in a retirement home to get a better sense of what was lacking or in need of improvement in other apps. Overall, they found that simplifying the app to include less complicated visuals, fewer\u202fchoices\u202fand larger fonts significantly improved usability.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigg was especially drawn to the user interface work of Zolyomi\u2019s project.&nbsp;\u201cAs much as I like being a computer nerd, I also enjoy the aesthetics and getting to design things and make them useful,\u201d he said. \u201cI like to make things look a little better and easier to use, and the design process is just fun.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another distinct feature in the app is the ability for other users to access and monitor detailed health data from afar \u2014 which is ideal for adults looking to track and support their&nbsp;aging&nbsp;parents\u2019 health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigg wrote in his capstone abstract: \u201cWe want our application to show that personalized health tracking can empower older adults to maintain personal autonomy over their own well-being through an easy, simple to use design.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an analyst at Boeing,&nbsp;Nigg said\u202fhe&nbsp;has\u202falso been able to bring the skills he\u2019s learned from the project into his work. He will be graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree in CSSE in June and plans to return in the fall to begin&nbsp;UW Bothell\u2019s Master of Science in&nbsp;CSSE program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
