Solemates: connected health initiative

Solemates track your activity data through sensors in shoe insoles. This data is then relayed to the users for recommending behavioral changes that can lead to a healthier life style.

Andrew's story

We created this short fun video to demonstrate the problem that Solemates is designed to mitigate.

In 2014, fitness trackers started to come to the public's horizon. This concept was developed as a part of my Master program's final project.

User Research

Shadowing, interviews, surveys

Test conceptual product ideas

Moderated testing sessions using sketches, screen mockups, prototypes

Evaluate concepts

Weigh the ideas over user impact, usability, feasibility and other measures in order to agree on the best options.

Product Sketches

Product Demo

The app is designed to reward users through a gamification function. Every time users get up and take a walk, the steps are accumulated and contributed to the physical strength of their avatar which can be sent on to a one-on-one live combat.
