might involve integration with device sensors or manual entry.
- 2.2.2 Integrate with wearable devices:
The app should connect with popular wearable devices and health trackers to
automatically gather activity data.
2.3 Sleep Tracking:
- 2.3.1 Monitor sleep patterns:
The app will track aspects of sleep such as duration, quality, and stages (e.g., REM,
deep sleep) to help users understand their sleep habits.
- 2.3.2 Provide insights and recommendations:
Based on the sleep data, the app will offer insights and suggestions for improving sleep
quality.
2.4 Nutrition Tracking:
- 2.4.1 Log food intake:
Users will log their food consumption to monitor calorie intake and nutritional values.
- 2.4.2 Provide nutritional insights:
The app will analyse logged food data and provide recommendations for a balanced
diet.
3. Non-Functional Requirements
