Project Overview

As part of the "Designing for Human" class, this project involved researching and designing an imaginary app for a health monitoring shirt. The project culminated in creating a prototype using Figma, marking my first experience with the tool.

Key Features

  • Health data visualization concepts
  • User interface design for wearable tech
  • User experience considerations for health monitoring
  • Innovative app features for health tracking
  • Figma prototype development
    • View Interactive Prototype

Project Details

The Health Monitoring Shirt Design Research project explored the potential of wearable technology in health monitoring. Our team successfully completed the research and design phases, culminating in a functional Figma prototype.

As part of the team, I took on the responsibility of creating a prototype using Figma. This was my first experience with the tool, providing an excellent opportunity to learn and apply UI/UX design principles in a practical context.

The prototype aimed to showcase how users might interact with the app, view their health data, and receive insights or alerts based on the information collected by the smart shirt.

Design Process

  1. Research on existing health monitoring wearables and apps
  2. Brainstorming sessions to identify key features and user needs
  3. Sketching initial UI concepts and user flows
  4. Learning Figma basics and applying them to create low-fidelity wireframes
  5. Iterating on the design based on team feedback
  6. Developing a higher-fidelity prototype with interactive elements
  7. Presenting the final prototype to the class for feedback

Learning Outcomes

This project provided valuable learning experiences in:

  • Understanding the unique challenges of designing for wearable technology
  • Considering user experience in health-related applications
  • Basic proficiency in using Figma for UI/UX design
  • Collaborative design processes and incorporating team feedback
  • Balancing aesthetic design with functional requirements in health tech
  • Presenting and explaining design decisions to stakeholders
