Introduction
Voithos is a smartwatch that includes a multitude of features a couple of the common ones are fitness tracker and sleep tracker. The watch has 2 companion web sites, one for the watch user and one for medical personnel who can view summaries of live and historical data tracked by the watch. The site designs for the user and the medical community are very different, because of their different purposes. Once users matching the user group criteria are found, they will participate in usability testing. Data gathered from this process will be used to update, modify or confirm design features and functionality on the website component of the Voithos.

I would like to begin by thanking everyone, for taking the time to meet with us. As you all know, we are here to talk about Voithos. Voithos is a smartwatch that we think will change the way people will interact with technology and their medical provider. To help us design the best website, my associates and I will be observing, how you work your way through the site to understand how YOU would use it. So, we can determine what is effective and what isn’t.
However, before we begin, we will have to get the legal things out of the way. Did everyone sign in and get a number on their way in? If you didn’t get a number, please get one now, because we will be having a drawing for prizes at the end of the meeting. I wish I could participate, but oh well… We have some really nice prizes this evening.
