Overview
We developed UX designs for Heal Coin, a blockchain-powered wellness platform targeting early intervention for pre-diabetic individuals. The platform aimed to distribute Ethereum-based micro-incentives to users who consistently demonstrated healthy daily behaviors like exercising, eating nutritious meals, and getting quality sleep.
Design Goals
Our challenge was to merge the complex logic of Web3 and smart contracts with an intuitive, health-focused experience accessible to non-technical users. We approached this by focusing on three core principles:
- Transparency of Rewards: Users needed to clearly understand how and when they earned tokens.
- Seamless Integration with Wearables: Behavior data from Apple Watch and Fitbit would serve as the source of truth for rewards.
- Motivational Feedback Loops: Reinforcing habits through progress visualization, streaks, and token accumulation.
Key Features
- Onboarding Wizard: Guided users through account setup, wallet creation, and pairing with health wearables.
- Health Dashboard: Visualized metrics like daily step count, sleep duration, and heart rate, mapping them to token eligibility.
- Reward Wallet: Showed real-time microtransactions of Heal Coin disbursements tied to verified healthy behaviors.
- Behavior Log: Provided a daily activity timeline sourced from wearables with token status indicators.
- Gamification Layer: Incorporated streak badges and tiered reward boosts to incentivize consistency.
Design Process
- Conducted interviews with individuals managing pre-diabetes and those already using wearables for health tracking.
- Mapped user journeys from onboarding through daily use, identifying key friction points.
- Designed high-fidelity Figma prototypes with a minimalist aesthetic to reduce cognitive load.
- Collaborated with developers to ensure front-end elements aligned with smart contract triggers and wearable API inputs.
Impact
Our designs laid the foundation for a platform that could meaningfully influence health behavior at scale. By tying blockchain rewards to biometric validation, we helped make personal wellness more actionable and measurable. The Heal Coin interface bridged a critical gap between advanced tech and real-world behavior change.
