Brief
The Problem
Over 45% of American adults are affected by at least one of three major cardiometabolic concerns: diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension.
Managing these conditions require constant monitoring, regular medication, and lifestyle improvements.
Despite the prevalence of these challenges, current tools for chronic condition management on daily basis remain fragmented and depersonalized, resulting in low adherence.
Insights
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.
Ideation
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.
Final Concept
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.
Form Testing
Several rounds of prototyping and testing are 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.
Proportion Map
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.

Health App
VITAL TRACKING
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 PPG technology. A simple "good" or "at risk" colored indicator provides clear feedback, encouraging regular monitoring without added stress.
Smart consultancy
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. By monitoring health trends, it proactively suggests preventive measures to foster long-term well-being.
Pill Management
The pill management system simplifies routines by storing a week’s medication and elegantly dispensing the right dose
at the right time.
The app 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.
