Personalized Fitness Dataviz for Consumer Health-Tracking

Data Visualization, Product Design and MVP Development for notch.me

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.

  • 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

“There’s something sort of rock star about a gorgeously designed infographic created about something so personal and banal as how many steps you took today.”
