Cycles

A sleep health monitor

Role
Product Design (UX/UI)

The primary goal was to explore how smartphone technology could enhance our sleep experience by providing insights into our sleep cycles. The app’s purpose was to improve sleep and wake-up schedules by utilising existing technologies to monitor sleep patterns

Challenges

The main challenge was introducing new interactions in a crowded health tech market. Conceptualising a solution that was both meaningful and attractive, while leveraging current technologies effectively, proved to be a significant challenge.

Approach 

To address these challenges, I adopted a minimalistic approach, focusing on simplicity and user-centric design. The core concept revolved around allowing users to set their desired wake-up time. The app would then handle the rest, using the phone’s sensors to monitor sleep and adjust cycles accordingly.

Outcome

The project served as a design task showcasing rapid conceptualisation and design work. The prototype aimed to provide quick-thinking concepts and design solutions for enhancing user experience in sleep management.
