Impact

Improved engagement

Clearer onboarding and task flows helped users stay engaged throughout their programs.

Simpler journeys

Users could move through assessments, learning content, and coaching with less friction.

Reduced cognitive load

Complex health concepts were broken down into clear, actionable steps.

Higher user confidence

Progress indicators helped users better understand their health data.

Clear feedback loops

Users received meaningful feedback that encouraged continued participation.

Modular experience

Reusable patterns supported multiple programs and future growth.

Improved clarity

Clear language and hierarchy reduced confusion and hesitation.

Scalable foundation

The experience was designed to support new programs and user types.

Mission

The goal was to create a health experience that feels calm, trustworthy, and easy to follow. By simplifying interactions and reducing jargon, the design helps users focus on meaningful actions rather than navigating complexity.

Key challenges

Complex health content
Translating clinical concepts into intuitive digital experiences.
Long-term engagement
Designing for behaviour change over weeks and months.
Multiple user needs
Supporting both self-guided and coach-led journeys.
Data interpretation
Presenting health metrics without overwhelming users.
Trust and motivation
Building confidence in sensitive health contexts.

Objectives

  • Create a clear and intuitive onboarding experience
  • Reduce friction in daily tasks and program progression
  • Support sustained engagement over time
  • Ensure scalability across health programs
  • Improve clarity and user confidence

Design process

The team followed an iterative, research-driven approach. User journeys were mapped to identify friction points, followed by rapid prototyping and validation before moving into high-fidelity design.

Research & insights

User interviews and stakeholder input uncovered where users struggled with understanding and motivation.

Ideation & wireframes

Low-fidelity flows explored structure and hierarchy, aligned quickly with the product team.


Hi-fi designs & prototyping

High-fidelity designs focused on clarity, tone, and usability, validated through testing.

Testing

Usability testing helped refine interactions and improve flow comprehension.

Accessibility

Accessibility considerations focused on clarity, readability, and reducing cognitive strain across key flows.

Design system

A modular design system ensured consistency across onboarding, assessments, progress tracking, and coaching interactions.

Critical insights

Designing for health and behaviour change requires clarity, empathy, and restraint. Breaking complexity into manageable steps and providing meaningful feedback helps users stay engaged over time.
