My team and I wanted to design something that would encourage the Champaign-Urbana local community, especially college students, to eat healthier. We decided to create a mobile app that will help give better access to healthy food.

 

With this app, you can access local markets and other providers of healthy food. It displays the business information including specials, and will help navigate you there from where you are. CU HealthyEats also displays which foods are currently in season to promote sustainable eating habits.

 

You can select an ingredient and the app will indicate where it can be purchased, as well as relevant recipes. And by tapping on a store option, it will take you to the business information page Lastly, the recipes portion of the app encourages community involvement. You can browse through recipes posted by others, many of which use local or seasonal ingredients, and also upload your own!

We also created supplementary brochures and posters that explained the app (shown above), as well as a video that shows the ideation and design process, along with an abbreviated explanation of how the app works.
