Stay Fit – A Smarter Way to Track Health for You and Your Family
Stay Fit is a digital health tracker I designed to help individuals and families organize, interpret, and take action on their health data all in one place. The app addresses a common challenge: people struggle not only to store their medical records but also to make sense of them. With chronic conditions like diabetes and thyroid issues on the rise and a renewed focus on wellness in the aftermath of the global health crisis. Stay Fit empowers users with clear health timelines, insights, and alerts that support proactive, informed decisions about their well-being.

Project Goal
The primary objective was the development of a comprehensive digital health tracker designed for both individual and familial use. This platform aimed to serve as a central repository for diverse health-related information, facilitating its interpretation and enabling users to effectively monitor crucial health metrics. A core goal was to foster a culture of proactive wellness among users. The impetus for this initiative stemmed from the recognition of widespread difficulties encountered by individuals in systematically maintaining their health records and, critically, in understanding the implications of this data for their overall well-being. This challenge is particularly salient against the backdrop of escalating rates of chronic conditions such as diabetes and thyroid disorders, a trend further emphasized by the recent global health crisis, underscoring the urgent need for accessible and understandable health management tools.
Design Approach
This health tracker app was design and developed using a user-centered design process encompassing five key phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype, and Test.
Empathize:
Understanding user needs was paramount. This involved:
Conducting user interviews with 7 participants.
Distributing surveys to 21 respondents.
Identifying key challenges in daily health tracking, including:
Difficulty in organizing health reports.
Poor comprehension of health parameters.
Anxiety related to managing family health.
Define:
Based on the empathize phase, we focused on clearly defining the problem and user needs:
Created user personas (e.g., a housewife and a retired senior) to represent target users.
Developed empathy maps and customer journey maps to visualize user experiences and pain points.
Formulated a concise problem statement: "I want to organize all my health reports and family health data in one place to track, understand, and plan better."
Ideate:
The ideation phase focused on generating potential features to address the defined problem:
Brainstormed a range of features, which were then prioritized.
Key features included:
A secure health report vault.
AI-powered health forecasts.
Chronological report timelines.
Individual profiles for family members.
Expense tracking related to health.
Integration capabilities with IoT health devices.
Prototype:
Early design ideas were brought to life through prototyping
Developed wireframes and high-fidelity mockups.
Validated these designs by gathering feedback from target users.
The prototype featured:
A user-friendly dashboard displaying upcoming tests and family health updates.
A timeline-based history of health reports.
Visual graphs comparing past and present health indicators.
A recommendation engine driven by health report data.
Test:
Usability testing was conducted to evaluate the prototype:
Engaged 5 users in usability testing sessions.
Received largely positive feedback, with users particularly appreciating the timeline view and health summaries.
Identified key areas for improvement, focusing on simplifying language and reducing cognitive load.
