Daily focus
A single prioritised card with the reason it was chosen and a low-effort alternative.

Product Concept / Health & Wellness
A concept for a personalised wellness platform that turns tracked data into one clear next action instead of another wall of charts.

Project overview
A self-initiated exploration pairing a mobile daily-focus experience with a personal wellness dashboard, plus an expert conversation surface that carries the person's data context into the chat.

The opportunity
Wellness products are good at measurement and poor at direction. The design question is how to compress goals, trends and recommendations into a single decision someone can act on before breakfast.
The challenge
Motivation decays fast. The concept had to stay useful on a bad week, avoid implying clinical advice, and make personalisation feel considered rather than automated.
Design approach
- Reviewed published behaviour-change literature on adherence and habit formation
- Mapped a week in the life across three routine archetypes to find realistic touchpoints
- Comprehension-tested draft copy for reading level and tone
- Designed the low-data and missed-streak states before the ideal state
Product strategy
- One prioritised action per day, with the reason it matters today
- Recommendations suggest, people decide — nothing auto-commits
- Design the handoff between app and human expert explicitly
- Plain language everywhere; no metric appears without an interpretation
FLOWS
User experience
- A today surface that answers 'what should I do now' above the fold
- Goals shown as progress against a rhythm, not a streak that shames a miss
- Insights written as sentences, with the chart as supporting evidence
- Expert chat opens with the relevant trend already attached
Key user flows
- 01
Check in
A short daily check-in that adapts to energy, sleep and stress inputs.
- 02
Focus
One recommended action with duration, rationale and a start control.
- 03
Track
Activity, sleep, hydration and nutrition trends over a rolling window.
- 04
Understand
Personalised insights that connect two signals into one plain-language takeaway.
- 05
Ask
Expert conversation with the person's recent context pre-loaded.
UI exploration
Wellness dashboard
Activity, sleep, stress and nutrition summarised with trend direction, not raw dumps.
Goals & progress
Ring and bar treatments for weekly rhythm with a forgiving miss state.
Expert chat
Threaded conversation with attached trends and clear boundaries on advice.
Design system
- A calm palette with accent use reserved for the single daily action
- Progress components: rings, rhythm bars and trend sparklines with shared semantics
- Recommendation card family covering movement, rest, nutrition and mind
- Copy guidelines for tone, reading level and non-clinical phrasing
Prototype
A mobile-first prototype of the daily focus loop and goal tracking, plus a desktop dashboard view, exercised across a simulated fortnight of data including gaps and missed days.
Tools & technologies explored
- React Native
- TypeScript
- Design tokens
- Figma
- Motion prototyping
Design outcomes
What the exploration produced. No commercial launch, no performance claims — design artefacts and thinking.
A daily-action model
A structure that reduces a full dashboard to one decision without hiding the data.
Forgiving progress
Rhythm-based goals that survive a missed day instead of resetting motivation.
Context-carrying chat
A handoff pattern where the expert opens with the same view the person sees.
A non-clinical voice
Copy rules that keep guidance useful without overstepping into advice.
Key learnings
- A dashboard is a reference surface, not a daily one — the two need different homes
- Streaks punish exactly the people who need the product most
- An insight only lands when it names the behaviour, not the metric
- Personalisation reads as care only when it references something the person actually did
Future opportunities
- Household and care-partner views with consent controls
- Wearable ingestion and on-device summarisation
- Longer-horizon planning beyond the daily loop
- Accessibility work on colour-independent progress encoding
