Our goal was to redesign the glucose monitor to feel like a natural part of users' everyday lives. Based on user interviews, we developed a persona to design for. Our design aims to address the stigma adult men experience when monitoring and treating diabetes with friends and at work.
The glucose monitor's design takes inspiration from a Swiss knife, making it multi-purpose, personal, and pleasant to hold. Instead of presenting complex graphs and numbers, we opted for simpler visual feedback for checking glucose levels. Furthermore, we added an audio interface where users or their loved ones can record voice messages. The feedback design was intended to enhance the personal experience and add a touch of enjoyment.
