PROJECT DESCRIPTION/DESCRIPTION DU PROJET:

Cronometer brings hip (read: nerdy) tech company vibes to a small mountain town. We’re a friendly bunch of outdoor enthusiasts creating a nutrition tracking software with the mission to empower people to make informed decisions for their health & wellness. We know that good ideas come from a variety of perspectives and everyone has something new to offer so we'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas.

We are looking for students to pilot test our new Nutrition data entry tool. We built an in-house tool to accept user-submitted photos of food products they are eating so we can efficiently enter then into our database. This allows user to accurately track their nutrition to reach their health goals.

KEY PROJECT ACTIVITIES:

• Test our newly developed tool for entering user-submitted food products into our database.
• Provide feedback on the clarity of training materials and process, visual design and process improvements to increase accuracy and efficiency of entering new foods.

IDEAL ROLES/RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Communication and Collaboration: Share your experience using the tool at weekly meetings.
• Attention to Detail: Use your Sherlock Holmes skills to catch all relevant details in each product photo.
• Critical Thinking: Identify areas for improvement. This is a new tool, so everything is up for discussion here: training process, nutrition education, visual design, keyboard shortcuts, breaking tasks into smaller pieces, etc.

FINAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES:

• Report your accuracy and efficiency statistics at peak performance levels.
• Highlight improvements in data entry efficiency and/or accuracy and identify the cause (e.g. as a result of implementing suggested training/coaching changes, design tweaks or user interface improvements).

Students will report to the Lead Nutrition Scientist who will check-in a minimum of once a week. The supervisor will also be available during typical work hours (9-5 PST) to answer any questions that come up (by message or video call).
