AI Onboarding of My Wellness Journey

2021

Overview

I designed the onboarding for My Wellness Journey, a wellness app that helps users adopt healthier lifestyles by tracking their exercise, dietary intake, medication, and sleep patterns. The onboarding focuses on personalization, ease of use, and motivating users to set and achieve their wellness goals.

Results

It was internally recognized as a key enabler for adopting AI-driven wellness insights.

During the beta phase, it received positive feedback for its user-centric approach and seamless functionality.

However, the app was not deployed to public users due to unresolved technical and privacy concerns.

Key Challenges

  1. Busy Lives 😓
    Millennials and Gen Z juggle work, education, and social commitments, leaving little time for health.

  2. Healthcare Access 🩻
    Financial, insurance, or location barriers limit access to care.

  3. Lack of Guidance 🥼
    Conflicting health advice makes finding tailored solutions difficult.

  4. Tracking Challenges 📈
    Monitoring health habits is hard without efficient tools.

  5. Resource Awareness 🧑‍⚕️
    Limited knowledge of nearby providers delays care.

Research and Development
I conducted primary and secondary research to identify customer needs and determined four segments: digital natives, busy professionals, underbanked individuals, and experienced savers.

This informed the design of CHIB’s dual-purpose functionality:

  • CHIB Assist: Answers FAQs, provides self-service options, and offers instant support.

  • CHIB Coach: Guides users in budgeting, savings, and personalized money recommendations.

Because of these issues, the main area I focused on as a designer was improving the bad UX. I did a deep dive into understanding these pain points to create a more user-friendly and modern experience that is focused on personalization.

Why does this happen?

Several factors contribute to the challenges faced by millennials and Gen Z in maintaining healthy lifestyles:

  • Changing Societal Norms: Shifts in societal norms and values, such as the increasing importance placed on career advancement and productivity, have led to busier lifestyles. This leaves less time for individuals to prioritize their health and well-being.‍

  • Technology and Digital Distractions: The proliferation of technology and digital devices has led to constant connectivity and distractions. Millennials and Gen Z are often immersed in social media, entertainment, and online activities, which can detract from focusing on healthy habits.

  • Economic Pressures: Economic factors, such as high living costs and student debt, can create financial strain for millennials and Gen Z. This may limit their ability to afford healthy food options, gym memberships, or healthcare services.

  • Social Influences: Peers, social media influencers, and societal pressures can influence lifestyle choices and behaviors. Unrealistic body standards promoted on social media platforms, for example, may contribute to unhealthy dieting habits or excessive exercise routines.

  • Mental Health Concerns: Millennials and Gen Z are increasingly reporting mental health issues such as stress, anxiety, and depression. These conditions can impact motivation, energy levels, and self-care practices, making it more challenging to prioritize physical health.

Following the collection of research findings, I proceeded with analyzing the data to identify patterns among various user types. This process enabled me to develop personas that deeply aligned with the users' needs, aspirations, challenges, and driving factors.
