Our Objective
As work environments are constantly changing, working professionals struggle with staying focused, working efficiently and overall self-care. When working from home, users are less aware of muscle distress and mental fatigue after working for multiple hours without a proper work station or taking intentional breaks.
Our Outcome
Our team wanted to challenge the norm of current ergonomic apps. We set out to explore and develop a solution that will provide our users with a way to stay focus, maintain healthy energy levels and to feel more comfortable.
RESEARCH
The research phase was completed in 2 days. We made our initial assumptions and conducted 5 user interviews to validate our hypothesis. Affinity mapping provided insights which enabled creation of our persona Emilia, who represents our target demographic. We also mapped out the primary user’s journey and gained insights on the opportunities of our product.
