Problem

Open Data Delaware has been focused on answering one question: How can we make Delaware the most accessible state in the country?

Solution

People with disabilities desire mobile independence above all else, which raises the need for better access design. Our solution provides a fun and innovative way to overcome those accessibility challenges at the tip of fingers.

Viability

• Is the solution viable?
• Is their a minimum viable product that demonstrates proof of concept functionality?

Technology

• Are the external dependencies free or at least have a reasonable cost?

Creative Rubric:

Uniqueness

• Is the concept original?

Problem Solved

• Is there a solution to core problem?

#Questions: 1.) Design Response: What devices are this app compatible with?

2.) Iterative Design: In app user behavior analytics? (Help Dev team understand how people use the app)

3.) K.I.S.S. Model (Keep it simple stupid) Can multiple tasks be done with fewer steps? Optimize images and load times

4.) User Test: Has the app been tested by other users?

5.) App Visualization: Does the app have a heavy text design?

6.) Security: How secure is the app? Can the data from the back end be easily accessed? What is controlling access?

7.) Use cases for targeted market: What is important to the user? What is the focus of this app that alleviates a users issue? Who is the demographic? What makes the app interactive?

8.) Guidelines: Does the app focus on core features over minor ones?

9.) Data: Is the information used accurate? Is the information appropriate/relevant for the targeted audience? Does the app include any instructions congealed to mesh with the visual-first design?

10.) Issues: If there are any bugs with the app how can I contact someone to let them know?

Where is the data stored?

• Create a way to log all actions and data coming into the app
• This should consist of logging errors, long load times, store user profile, buttons frequently hit
• Way to collect user data and respond very fast to optimize UI/UX
• Encrypt the sensitive data in the back-end for security =======
