Designing interfaces for wellness means creating experiences that support and empower individuals to achieve their physical, emotional, and mental health goals.
As an interaction designer for the wellness industry, one must face several unique challenges. This industry is constantly evolving, with new technologies, trends, and research emerging regularly.
In addition, fitness related technology must balance functionality with aesthetics. While it is essential to be user-friendly and efficient, it is equally important for it to be visually appealing and engaging, especially for Technogym which is a leader in the industry.
Another challenge is the need to design for a diverse range of users. Different users have unique needs and preferences, and designers must consider accommodating users with physical disabilities, users with different levels of fitness, and users from different cultural backgrounds. It requires designers to be sensitive to diversity, inclusion, and accessibility.
This is where we received the task to design the new series of Unity platforms that were going to be introduced in the future products.
Unity is a digital platform developed by Technogym, a leading manufacturer of fitness equipment. The Unity platform is designed to integrate with Technogym’s fitness equipment and provide a connected fitness experience for users.
The Unity platform includes a range of features and capabilities that allow users to personalize their workouts, track their progress, and access a wide range of fitness content
Some of the key features of the Unity platform include:
Personalization: allowing users to customize their workouts by setting goals, selecting exercises, and adjusting parameters such as intensity and duration.
Entertainment: The Unity platform includes a variety of entertainment options such as TV, music, and internet access, which can help make workouts more enjoyable and engaging.
Another challenge in this project was to envision possible services and scenarios that we can introduce.
The reason is that interaction design is not only about UI but also on enhancing the experience and foresee opportunities for the product.
Overall, the Unity platform is a powerful tool that can help users optimize their fitness routines, achieve their wellness goals, and stay connected with others in the fitness community.
