Prompt:
How might we make healthy behavior change more viscerally rewarding and immediate?
Insight:
Self-tracking can change behavior, but becoming healthy is an emotional journey, not just a physical change. Users need more than cold, clinical charts and graphs to stay motivated.
Solutions:
- Designed, developed and launched Notch.me MVP to encourage healthier behavior through visualization self-tracking data.
- Designed a series of shareable, dynamic data visualizations, letting users visualize their behavior and consider different aspects of health.
- Developed syncing service to integrate with leading tracking devices (e.g. Fitbit).
Results:
- Tens of thousands of users generated and shared hundreds of thousands of personalized data visualizations
- Featured on TechCrunch and PandoDaily
