Overview
The iWatch Blood Sugar Monitoring app is designed with a primary focus on simplicity and convenience. Users can easily track their blood sugar levels without any efforts. It sends alerts for high and low levels, keeping users informed. Additionally, it can notify loved ones in case of trouble. This user-friendly app simplifies blood sugar monitoring and enhances overall health management.

Inspiration
The inspiration for this project came from witnessing the challenges faced by a friend diagnosed with diabetes. It was tough to watch her go through the daily routine of pricking her finger to monitor blood sugar levels and keep track of data.While there were existing app to help her with record-keeping, the missing piece was a non-invasive way to check diabetes. After learning about Apple's optical absorption spectroscopy technology, I was motivated to provide a design solution for watch that could simplify and keep track of real time blood sugar measuring aiming to make it convenient and comfortable for individuals like my friend.
How can we measure the blood sugar with the help of iWatch app?
Blood sugar monitoring with an iWatch app typically relies on non-invasive techniques like optical sensors. The iWatch's optical sensors emit light into the skin, which is partially absorbed by glucose molecules in the bloodstream. By analyzing the reflected light, the app can estimate blood sugar levels.
However, this method is still in development. But research offers a convenient and less intrusive way to track glucose trends throughout the day.
Solution
1)Experience  non invasive Blood Sugar Measurement with iWatch using Optical  Absorption Spectroscopy Technology
1)This  technology of  Optical  Absorption Spectroscopy can help us measure the blood sugar in human body without using traditional method.
2)Real-time blood sugar measuring, allowing users to see their graph and current blood sugar level.

2) Keep a track on loved once by getting real time notification.
1)Receive notification when your loved once have high or low sugar.
2)Send invite to who can receive notification and view graph.

Understanding Technology
In pursuit of enhancing my skills in user interface and user experience (UI/UX) design, I dedicated time to studying advanced technology concepts. One of my notable endeavors involved delving into the intricacies of non-invasive blood sugar measurement technology.
This deep dive allowed me to comprehend the underlying mechanisms and working principles. This newfound knowledge not only expanded my horizons but also fueled my passion for creating intuitive and user-friendly interfaces for innovative healthcare devices.
I'm excited to incorporate these insights into my UI/UX portfolio, showcasing my ability to bridge complex technology with user-centric design for a more accessible and user-friendly future.
Mind Mapping
Insight
As I explored this new technology, using mind maps was incredibly helpful in my design work. It let me make clear, visual pictures of my ideas and the concepts involved. This helped me understand all the different parts of this innovative technology. With mind mapping, I could neatly arrange and group all the information about optical absorption technology, making sure I didn't miss anything important in my project.‍
Design Process
Selecting the feature
There are a few things that need to be kept in mind when deciding on what features to include in the  iWatch app,
1)Display only the most important contents that give value to the user.
2)Allowing the user to quickly perform interactions with the watch.
First, I made a list of the features that the other mobile app  provide. Then I compared if each feature satisfies the above 2 pointers. If it did, I decided to incorporate it into the watch app.
Brainstorming
App Objective
1)User should be able to measure blood sugar at different time and during different activity.
2)User should be alse to view graph of sugar to keep the track.
3)User should be able to send notification to loved once.

3 Major Improvements in my design
Based on various feedback from 6 other peers + mentor feedback, I continually iterated my design over the span of 3 weeks- with 3 major improvements along with additional features
Improvement 1
Added details to graph 
1)User can visually understand when the sugar level was high and low

Improvement 2
Added Settings section
User can set and adjust the threshold for high and low blood sugar alerts.
Improvement 3

User Removed icons and emphasized the fonts.
Added View Graph Button at the time of measuring so user can view graph

Takeaways

This project is special to me because it brought together my love for design and the chance to create a design that can truly help people manage their diabetes better. It's not just satisfying but also personally fulfilling, knowing it could make lives better. It was a great opportunity to use my design skills to solve a real-world problem.

User-centered design
Always focus on the user and create designs that are centered around  their needs, not your own preferences or assumptions. By prioritizing the user's needs over my own preferences, I was able to create a product that resonated with my target audience 

Consistency
Consistency is important in UX design to create a seamless experience for users. I used consistent design patterns, color schemes, and typography throughout the product to create a cohesive and visually appealing experience.

Keep it Simple
Simplicity is key to creating a great user experience. I tried to avoid clutter and unnecessary features, instead focusing on the core functionality of the product. This helped  users quickly and easily accomplish their tasks and goals, leading to a positive user experience
