2.1. Business Task
As an analyst working in the marketing analyst team I will use the smart device usage data in order to gain insights into how customers use non-Bellabeat smart devices. I will then use these insights to recommend some market strategies which will be presented to the key stakeholders. In this case study, I will focus on the Bellabeat App for recommendations.

Key findings:

On an average, users take 7,638 steps each day. This average is lower than the 10,000 steps recommended by CDC.

On average, each user spends 16.5 hours per day being seated or inactive, which accounts to almost 70% of the day.

On an average, people sleep 6.98 hours per day.

Users tend to start their day later on weekends, that is around 9am - 10am in the morning. They are most active on Wednesdays between 4pm - 6pm, and around 11am - 1pm on Saturdays.

The lightly active type has the longest sleep, while the very active type has lowest duration of sleep.

Based on the findings, below are few suggestions:

1. The App could recommend daily steps target based on user's profile, lifestyle and personal information available in the app. It can also send daily reminders and alerts to their users, if they start to fall behind their daily target.
2. The Bellabeat App can provide a playlist of songs for meditation, to encourage their users to meditate to elevate their users' mental health and wellness. They can also send weekly health tips on their device.
