The thought…

Why fitness trackers‌ People are very conscious of their health now a days.

Technology has touched our lives in every phase and people want devices for fitness motivation without spending too much time or money. Fitness trackers are most prominent effect that the Internet of Things has had on our daily routines is changing the way we exercise and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Activity trackers on your wrist and fitness applications are becoming our personal coaches, helping us

thoroughly with both instruction and motivation.

These devices are popular, despite some growing pains typical to any new device category. Their potential benefits, however, are revolutionary in that they promise to accurately monitor and analyse health and fitness activity on a continuous, real-time basis.

However, activity trackers are only somewhat useful in their current state. Most of them measure only a few activities, vary in their reliability of measurement

and physicality, provide little interpretive analytics, can present technical challenges to all but the most technically capable, and are poorly integrated with other health data devices, sites, and sources.

Because they are a widely used consumer device, with many millions of global consumers stepping, sleep monitoring, and syncing to the IoT ecosystem, they make a good example for research to discover, work and improve the experience, engagement and design innovation.

BACKGROUND While conducting secondary research there were some prominent traits visible in the data. It also showed the popularity this market has gained in a very short period of time. There has been a lot of innovation since these wearables first came to the market.

The market recognizes Fitbit, Jawbone, Garmin, Xiaomi and Nike as major contributors.

In health, new rules under Obamacare broaden the incentive employers can give their staff, boosting cash rewards on premiums or deductibles from 20% to 30%.

Small businesses can apply to a pot of $200 million in grants to set up such programs. These devices are helping reduction in the corporate wellness program bringing America’s health care costs low.

In spite of all this, a major flaw was noticed which defeats the purpose of the device.

The aim of these devices is to motivate people to stay healthy. People said they got bored of their devices in a span of 6 months.

WAKING UP‌ Secondary research was conducted to get to know the background of the product to be researched. I looked at market trends, popular brands and devices to get a feel of the current status.

Health records As per the first survey on fitness trackers conducted by Pew Research, 69% of U.S. adults track some sort of health indicator for themselves or a loved one. Only 21% of the respondents said they used a gadget, app or website to track this information. Nearly half of those surveyed (49%) said they keep this information in their heads. 34% say they track the data on paper, like in a notebook or journal.

Wicked problem

Dominant paradigm

After analysing research conducted till now, the paradigm that dominates the fitness tracking world is the awareness of society or environment and a desire to live a better, healthier life with technology at your beck and call. This is dominant for manufacturers as well, as they claim to deliver your health in the form device. It is the feeling of knowing everything about yourself, better termed as search to personalization.

These devices are an example of wicked problem to me as there is a lot of instability of demand and short span of attention by the customers. Richard Buchanan in his book “wicked problems in design thinking” says, wicked problems have no definitive formulation, but every formulation of a wicked problem corresponds to the formulation of a solution. This goes very well with fitness devices as there are many that are good and serve their purpose , and every device appeals to a different group of audience. They are material objects recording individual data; different for each person every day. As mentioned in “Wicked problems in Design Thinking”, Wicked problems have no stopping rules. Everyone wears the device to track different measures. The value and importance of these devices differs depending on the lifestyle of each user. Each user has a notion about technology, some think it is necessary, others respect it and find it resourceful and the rest do not want technology to control their life.

THE FIRST STEP‌ After collecting, organizing, and applying research and information that has already been collected regarding fitness trackers through secondary research, now I move to the next stage. Primary research is all about getting to know people. Observing their interactions with the artefacts.

Primary research For conducting this research contextual methods of design research, such as Ethnography was implemented. This method of research involves around the principles of empathy, immersion and careful observation.

Through this I hope to unfold hidden problems regarding my topic of research. Ethnography helped me get rid of my assumptions, as having a pre conceived notion about your research topic blind sights you making it difficult to look at things in a fresh perspective. Many

times we miss out on the small details that can prove to make a big difference. Ethnography equips the designer with research methods to immerse yourself in the community and learn through the experience.

For the primary research, I have used a few of the contextual research methods. I conducted an online survey via surveymonkey.com. This helped me reach out to a larger community and get an idea of their experience. The response was overwhelming. The second method was

observation. I went to three major retailers Best Buy, Walmart and Target.

I observed the physical displays and the customer experience of shopping for fitness trackers. While observing I conducted interviews with the salesperson, and their customers. I conducted a couple interviews in my community, as I see many people running/walking wearing fitness trackers.

Most of the sales for these devices happen online. It was not possible to observe those activities.

Fly on the Wall Next it was time to visit and observe the retail environments, their set up and decision making process. Interaction of buyers with the devices and discover the customer buying patterns. I went to three major retailers Best Buy, Walmart and Target. I observed the physical displays and the customer experience of shopping for fitness trackers. While observing I conducted interviews with the salesperson, and their customers.

OBSERVATION METHODS Behaviour of people was observed in and around the products in retail environments using the following methods to emerge with patterns and follow them.

Five Human Factors

POEMS

Studying physical, cognitive, social, cultural and emotional factors that drive the overall user experience.

Physical: Customers enter and take a look at the displays.

Cognitive: Process takes time depending on the mind-set of the customer.

Social: Customer interacts with the representative.

Customer is greeted with a smile.

Cultural: Awareness amongst customers regarding devices.

Emotional: Motivating the customers to make the choice.

Studying people, objects, environments, messages and services in a context.

Template for observation: Number of customers Age Gender Reason for visiting Services used Time per customer Emotions while entering and leaving. Observe the service providers, their interaction with space and customers. It helped me analyse the customer demographic and discover the pain points in the experience.

SURVEY To reach out to a larger audience, I set up a survey with the help of surveymonkey.com with questions to understand their knowledge and opinions on the existing devices. There were 65 respondents.

The survey results definitely showed trends very clearly.

Most people (50%) are motivated to exercise to stay in good shape. People also exercise to stay active (25%) and avoid health problems (21%). About 90% of them are interested in tracking their fitness. Some do not have enough knowledge about fitness trackers. Factors people consider before buying a device are features (35%) and quality (28%). About (55%) of the users track steps on their devices.

Most of them track steps, heart rate, distance covered (22%).

40% percent of the users own a Fitbit device, 11% Apple watch, 11% use a pedometer and some

use their phones as trackers with the help of health apps or apps offered by iOS and Android. 60% of the existing/future customers came to know about fitness trackers through word of mouth, the others came to know through their employers. People are ready to spend up to $150 on these devices provided they are accurate. 48% said that their devices have motivated them to stay active. People would like to track their weight, food/calorie intake and want the devices to interact with them.

Knowing people Before I could start interviews, I had to brainstorm and create a guideline of questions; a road map to follow during the different interviews. I planned to take the semi structured interview approach; thus providing opportunities for unprompted conversations from the interviewees. I categorized my audience in

three sections; sellers, consumers and deliverers. I was able to interview around 5 people of which 3 were customers and 2 sales persons. Average time for interviews , 25-30 mins each. For these interviews I went to the retail stores and interviewed friends.

INTERVIEWEE 1: Sumeet Gandhi Male, 29

INTERVIEWEE 2: Nikhil Nayak Male , 30

Is a very active person. Involved in cycling, running, hiking and swimming. Is a gadget freak. Does thorough research before buying any gadget.

Owns two tracking devices , Garmin Fenix 3 and Moov Now. Uses applications like Strava , Endomondo.

Owns these devices because Fenix warns him when the form is wrong, excess strain on body, high heart beat and informs him about the recovery time.

Moov Now came with a very exciting promotional video and app that provides 7 minutes workouts.

Important factors while buying a device are brand name, price and cutting edge technology.

Would like to upgrade to device that has inbuilt heart rate monitor with ant plus technology thinks is a must in fitness trackers. Would look forward to an interactive device that acts as a companion and one that has a long battery life.

Is a very busy person. Doesn’t have time for exercise. Is a critic for these devices . Not very interested in buying, uses trackers for health care benefits by employer.

Owns three tracking devices ,2 pedometers and Fitbit HR. Uses applications like Move , Virgin Pulse.

Owns these devices because employer gives benefits based on the steps completed every year. Is an engineer and likes looking at performance graphs.

Mostly uses his iPhone and apps for statistics. Doesn’t feel the need to add one more device. Doesn’t want a device to control his life.

Looks at the data like sleeping pattern to plan his day better and take more/less sleep as required.

Important factors while buying a device are cost and quality of data.

Finds it a hassle to charge these devices as they have different ports and would like a universal charger to charge them. Would like for these devices to be waterproof. Against wearing rubber hence stopped using Fitbit.

Looking forward to spend on a device that comes integrated in a watch.

INTERVIEWEE 3: Maria Theron 26, Female Is a laid back person and loves to procrastinate. Needs motivation to exercise. Interested in these devices and have become a vital part of her life. Follows Insanity workouts and walks her dog regularly. Owns one tracking device , Fitbit HR. Uses applications like iHealth on the iPhone.

Started tracking herself regularly when a visit to the doctor a year ago opened her eyes about her health. Is a social media follower and is updated with the latest knowledge. Wishes to buy Apple smartwatch and is waiting for them to improvise on health tracking. Finds it a hassle to charge these devices as they have different ports. Has had issues with the device syncing to the app in her phone. Would like to wear a watch and currently cant wear one because of Fitbit, would like to change the bands so that she doesn’t get bored of the same device. Wants the device to be much smaller, that can be attached or inserted in a regular watch as she loves her watch. Used Sunnto before this during exercising.

To market‌ To take a look at the existing marketing strategy, understand the visual verbal message and the effectiveness portrayed. This step was useful for brand positioning and effectiveness as per the marketing strategy. I looked at Fitbit (pioneer in fitness trackers), Jawbone ( wearables start up) and Nike (globally established sports brand).

Visual Audit The wearables market has gained tremendous popularity though they have to potentially fight the tech market to create a spot for these products and do business. Their fight is with the mind-set and motivation of people and making them believe in the devices. While advertising they have to be motivating and courteous while approaching a new market base. Most of the fitness tracker market is dependent on digital marketing and word of mouth making it necessary to provide the best to the customers.

FITBIT

Market Presence: Fitbit’s products are currently available in over 45,000 retail stores, in over 50 countries. The company boldly claims that “there is a Fitbit product for everyone,” and at present, its different product offerings has managed to back it up. The fitness device maker’s products portfolio currently includes Fitbit One, Fitbit Zip, Fitbit Flex, Fitbit Charge, Fitbit Charge HR, Fitbit Surge, and the Aria Wi-Fi Smart Scale.

Target Audience: In order to appeal to a wider audience, the company’s product price ranges between $60 and $250. However, price is not the only distinguishing factor among the watch-maker’s product. Due to the varying product preference across the market, each Fitbit device caters to a separate set of requirements.

Fitbit’s products revolve around a specific niche – fitness.

But their focus on engaging the social animal in all of us is perhaps the main reason they have been able to maintain their dominance despite the entrance of the Apple watch.

Involving their customers in something meaningful yet quite effortless (they only have to keep doing what they’re doing) Have competition features so users can pit themselves against one another, or rope their friends in to join them Posting your achievements on social media so your friends will get curious, and you can tell them how easy it was for you to run 10,000 steps

JAWBONE Customer (Segment characteristics, Levels of awareness, perception and attitude towards the brand/ offering; perceived risk) The Jawbone Up wristband targets a certain type of customers using the direct marketing method. First, the firm seeks people who want to track their lifestyle, their bodies. That means people who want to decode messages sent to them by their bodies. That means people who want to lose weight, who wish to follow their daily calories in real time. Also people who The website is well designed need a visible element, quantified their daily stresses. Potential customers could highlighting the products, accessories and showing the be those who wish to have a glimpse of usability of the products. It their sleep and sleep cycle and a alarm clock, to treats sleeping disorders showing also guides you through the the uniqueness of the products. Jawbone process of buying and using is targeting millennials using technology Up. This is a great example of mass media marketing frequently for better health and well that maintains the company being. image as Jawbone has Primary target market : Employees working in corporate offices , credibility in the market millennials and adults who have desk jobs owing to its other products. and do not get to do much physical activities. Jawbone argues that wearable products could be at the heart of the connected home, enabling the so-called 'Internet of Things,‘ or as defined by Jawbone CEO and co-founder Hosain Rahman, 'the Internet of me.

NIKE FUELBAND The Nike+ FuelBand Facebook page has a beautiful assortment of media enticing its followers to engage and be inspired to continually use the product, as well as constantly working to build a community of users. One of the more current campaigns they are advertising on their Facebook is working to get user to pledge NikeFuel to a collegiate team. They also use vivid images, photographic campaigns, interactive video, and URLs linking back to their other social media platforms such as YouTube videos and twitter trends. Nike’s Handle for the NikeFuel Band is “@NikeFuel” where its info states its tagline: “Life is a sport. Make it count.” as well as providing a short product description: “The Nike+ FuelBand tracks your all-day activity and helps you do more.”

Brand positioning Brand Summary Fitbit, Jawbone, Nike had 97 percent of fitness tracker retail sales Following analysis of brands audited as per research findings.

One of the conclusion was that the consistency and effectiveness of marketing material was a factor affecting popularity of the brands. Effectiveness and what they sell was determined based on the marketing material like posters , videos etc.

V.I.PERSONAS Personas help designers overcome a very human problem, bias. They also help us build empathy for a diverse set of audience allowing us to address challenges present in the target market. Here, we look at three distinct personalities extremists, mainstream and subdued.

MEET Laura!

Age: 26 Status : Single Lives : Downtown Savannah Work: Design student at SCAD. Kids: None About Her: Laura wakes up everyday and checks her stats on Fitbit. She does not have a car and walks everywhere now a days to add steps to her device.

Challenge: A device that can show infographic data for him as he is bored of numbers and likes graphs. He wants reasonably priced watches with fitness trackers inside and no use of rubber material at all as he boycotts the use of rubber.

SO FAR‌ After collecting data from secondary, primary and visual audit for fitness trackers, it was time for synthesis. For this a working wall was created to help record each data point to add value and give direction to the information at hand. Through this process primary consumer group was defined.

Working wall Working wall includes collection of all the data in research till now , including secondary, primary, observation, interviews, survey and visual audit data. It helps in looking for patterns commonly noticed throughout the research and synthesize data to form insights.

Two methods of affinity mapping were used to ensure the insights from the data were fortified. The insights then applied to the personas created earlier to identify the target customer group.

Synthesis method-1 The arrangement of wall is done according to the relations between each part. The wall includes secondary research, primary research, survey, interviews, existing devices, retail environments, marketing and brand positioning. Through this method of synthesis I looked at the experiences of consumers closely. The insights mainly directed towards improving the existing devices that satisfy a major portion of customers.

legend Data collection

The yellow post-its denote the important information collected throughout research such as facts, trends and popular beliefs. These also highlight the important facts in articles

sorting

The pink post-its denote observations from conducted research and important reviews collected from the internet. They are the second step of synthesis which help in picking out the most important points from the research.

Final grouping

The orange post-its denote the emerging insights from the data urging to form concepts. These ideas are inspired after looking at the pink post-its. These denote action points on the data and are the last step of this affinity mapping.

The yellow post its talk about the prominent points during marketing and brand positioning their campaigns how are they significant, etc. The secondary and retail section here talks about the background of fitness trackers. How they came into existence and what environment are they sold in. The above image includes a mind map created to guide through sorting of observations, pain points, advantages, drawbacks and looking at probable insight related to each branch.

Synthesis method-2 The arrangement of wall remains the same as method 1 for this method. Here the use of affinity mapping method has been done to help analyse data in depth. All the data points were written on yellow post its, further categorised in clusters of pink post its then clustered under orange post its to for the latest insights. The insights were connected to personas as per their explanations with blue post its. This method helped define a new customer for this market.

legend Data collection

The yellow post-its comprise of eye catching points from the entire data. They cover information found on the internet, articles, newspapers, social media and other sources referred for research.

These form the base of the process.

sorting

These denote the second stage where the clusters of yellow are categorized under themes they represent. The pink post-its give names to the clusters formed with yellow post-its with common themes.

Final grouping

As we move on to the next stage we further categorize the pink post-its to form the probable areas highlighted by the process. These helped define areas to focus on for ideation.

Persona voices

These are assigned to personas. Each blue post-it represents the voice of the challenging personas previously created. Then they are placed next to their corresponding orange pot-its.

The yellow post-its are a representation of the entire data collected throughout the entire research. The key is to keep them as unorganized as possible. This helps get rid of the bias we have for the data. This is the first step of affinity mapping. These are then arranged as per the words they correspond to. I had over 120 data points at this point.

The pink post-its were more defined than the yellow ones. These shed some light on data hidden in all the research. One of them was surprising to see that said “Devices termed as unnecessary” which consisted of voices that related to resistance by people. There was another that said “Factors affecting business like geography” , “Dependency on software” , “Inaccuracy of data”, “Perception of devices”, etc. This step helped to identify the low hanging sections to be focused on for further analysis. The most important and awarding part of this process was to keep a clear head without any bias. This helped in forming clusters that were not obvious.

There were 35 pinks from 120 yellows.

After analysing all the pink post-its in their respective affinity groups, the most prominent trends were written down on the orange post-its. There were 9 oranges. Each reading 1. Convenient and User friendly 2.

Design innovation opportunities 3.

Motivation for regular use 4. People want better technology 5. Value addition to devices with diverse features 6. Strong marketing strategies 7.

Engaging incentives 8.

Interactive activities and 9. Infrastructure support needed . These could then be easily related to the trends visible throughout the data.

These covered the different stages from production, delivery and consumption.

Personas The personas were then analysed to the insights they corresponded to. For example, Dan uses the device for ulterior motives like health insurance benefits. He was included under Engaging Incentives. Under Convenient and User friendly as he wants data represented through graphs. As he does not use rubber, under Design Innovation. As his employer advertised for the use of devices, under Strong Marketing strategies and under Value Addition as he wants more features to be added to the devices.

For Laura,

For Drew,

Web diagram The web diagram showed that there are 7 influencing factors , out of which 4 are major influencers. People have a desire to live healthy and they need devices that are user friendly, convenient to carry/wear and motivate them to exercise and track their data regularly. It was seen that many users do not track their health regularly due to their busy routine. Valid connections could be made between variety, customization and Motivation as all these are interrelated as the existence of the devices is questioned by customers facing problems in these areas. Data accuracy and privacy are an underlying cause of distrust among consumers.

SO WHAT‌ The fitness tracking industry has innovate products and accommodate these fundamental changes to appeal to a wider range of audience.

Current trends What does the customer really NEED? Human behaviour is complex, but behavioural science offers three factors that can lead to sustained engagement over the long term.

1.

2.

3.

Habit formation. Sustained engagement depends on a device or service’s ability to help the user form and stick with new habits.

Social motivation. To sustain engagement beyond the initial habit formation, a device or service must be able to motivate users effectively.

Goal reinforcement. To achieve sustained engagement, a user also needs to experience a feeling of progress toward defined goals.

Research shows that achieving several smaller goals provides the positive momentum necessary for achieving bigger goals.

Primary consumer profile Millennials Excited to explore new technology Connected 24x7 to their gadgets, social media Willing to take efforts to stay fit Exercise/ plan to start exercising daily. Have a busy routine due to school/job. For both tech savvy and non tech savvy Use smart phones Trendy , Chic and Fashion forward Conscious about their health Device driven lifestyle They are our and future users and buyers.

They want user friendly and convenient devices that are accurate and motivate them daily to wake up and stay healthy! They don’t want the hassle of researching the whole market before finding a sustainable and accurate device that look good!

Their motto is “LESS IS MORE”

REFRAME

Looking at the wicked problem with a perspective, identifying the sore belief evident through research, placing the supporting beliefs around it for reframing only to arrive at the AHA moment and creating a new opposite core belief supported by improved supporting beliefs.

CURRENT DEVICES I looked at the different types of devices available in the market and compared their qualities for heuristics.

Core belief before reframe The core belief is that people do not use their devices regularly because lack of motivation is a major cause, data recorded by the devices is not accurate, devices need to be charged regularly and data privacy is a major concern of users.

New Core belief The new concept of fitness trackers involves believing that people are excited to use their devices regularly.

devices provide insights at regular intervals

PEOPLE ARE EXCITED TO USE THEIR DEVICES REGULARLY Z

algorithms used to calculate data are modified

devices charge when used regularly

data access to authorized persons only

We do this by saying devices provide interesting insights at regular intervals, devices charge when used regularly, algorithms used to calculate data are modified and data can be used by the user's doctor and employer only.

This reframes the wicked problem of short life span of these devices. Reinventing the concept of fitness trackers to create interest among the users and inspire prospective buyers. The three concepts concentrate on different groups of millennials, our target audience.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT Three concepts were developed after looking at the various opportunities from the data.

First concept: all in one personal trainer/device Second option: gamification (using augmented reality) Third option: tattoos for tracking

Hale your own personal trainer with you 24x7.

For a healthier, happier you.

The first step is to meet the expectations the client has from you. Then offer incentives along with the main solution to create confidence.

Hale eliminates the pain points in the customer experience and solves the issue of motivation in the long run for both the customers and the manufacturer through its engaging and interactive nature. The device is sleek, modern and can be used by anybody of any age because of its adaptive nature. It creates a community of users and also arranges challenges and events at different locations to create social involvement and promote the device to other people. It also runs a loyalty program offering discounts to existing customers if they wish to upgrade to another device with HALE making sure that it is the best fitness tracker out there. The customer is happy as the experience of owning a fitness tracker is flawless and effective.

Conclusion For the past ten weeks we have gone into a long journey of research and learning. I learned to identify the problem in a given product with the help of contextual research methods , people and their behavioural patterns and phenomena without disturbing the atmosphere or making people uncomfortable.

I learned that research should always be conducted with an open mind, no assumptions and no judgments. With exposure to the product industry I learnt how to conduct visual audit. The data showed a lot of information about fitness trackers and the market. I made a constructive effort to develop and come up with a solution along with an enterprise to provide users with a better and satisfactory experience. For this I have Florian Vollmer, Richard Buchanan and Peter Phillips to thank for their guidance through the squiggly path project!

Take control, your health awaits you!!
