Health + UX + Product
Over 45% of American adults face
diabetes, hyperlipidemia, or hypertension.
Managing these conditions requires
constant monitoring and lifestyle changes,
yet current tools remain fragmented and
depersonalized, leading to low adherence.
Tubo is a wellness companion consisting
of a device and app designed to integrate
into key moments of the day — offering
personalized, actionable insights without
overwhelming the user. It empowers
individuals to manage their health through
a ritualistic routine designed to foster
long-term engagement and destigmatize
the mindset surrounding self care.
Competitive Analysis
After conducting 18 interviews across a wide range of
users and SMEs such as healthcare designers, hospice
nurses, medical professors, and EMTs, findings were
affinitized and key insights were formed.
Following the key insights, with a focus on creating a form that
will decrease the stigma associated with health management
devices, concepts were developed to create a unique yet friendly
form that afforded intuitive interactions.
The final concept combines a pill management system, noninvasive
one-touch vital tracking, smart consultancy, and a health app to view
more detailed information at a glance and on the go.
Smart Consultancy
Based on your health and lifestyle data,
the device will tailor suggestions to
meet your personal goals.
Vital Tracking
Easily measure key health metrics
and receive personalized feedback
and lifestyle recommendations.
Pill Management
Organize and automate
your medication as the device dispenses
the right doses at the right times.
Health App
Sync data from wearables,
track diet, get in-depth health insights,
and connect with professionals.
Several rounds of prototyping and testing were conducted
with participants to gather their preference on the visual appeal.
The goal was to create a form that would feel familiar and
comforting in everyday use, rather than clinical or intimidating.
With the general dimensions acquired from testing,
the form was refined with off centric ellipsoids
providing friendliness and considered cuts based
on the golden ratio to provide dynamism.
Vital tracking is Tubo’s core feature, offering a seamless
daily health check during morning and evening routines.
With one touch, it noninvasively measures key vitals using
photoplethysmogram (PPG).
A simple “good” or “at risk” colored indicator
provides clear feedback, encouraging
regular monitoring without added stress.
Smart consultancy acts as a personalized health assistant, using AI to
analyze data and provide tailored recommendations aligned with each
user’s health goals. Drawing from vitals, lifestyle patterns, and medication
adherence, it delivers actionable advice that fosters long-term well-being.
The pill management system simplifies routines by storing a week’s
medication and elegantly dispensing the right dose at the right time.
Working with the Health App, Tubo provides timely reminders
and missed-dose alerts, ensuring consistent adherence.
With smart tracking integrated into user data,
it offers personalized insights, making medication
management seamless and stress-free.
The companion app brings Tubo’s power to users’
fingertips, offering a platform for detailed data visualization,
medication reminders, and actionable goals.
The app fosters a holistic approach by integrating lifestyle tracking
for diet, exercise, and stress management, connecting users with
healthcare professionals, and providing strategies to stay motivated.
