Wellness is at the centre of many individuals concerns. Taking care of your body and mind is a significant individual and societal issue. Thus, as part of my studies, we were asked to work on an application dedicated to wellness. Weight loss, Mental health, Medical Care, … The possibilities were wide, and were carefully explored. We agreed to work on a sleeping application, as sleep impacts 100% of people and more seem to face sleeping problems over the years.

Brief
The Daily Health Conference wants designers to rethink how people can adopt and commit to a health-improving routine.
The app can address any aspect of personal well-being, including (but not limited to): medicine, fitness, nutrition, meditation, time management.
The app should monitor the users’ progress and encourages them to adopt a healthier lifestyle
Users must retain control over their personal data (GDPR Compliance)
The user interface should reflect a new, fresh, updated image aligned with the Daily Health Conference values.
Meet Rootine, you bedtime buddy
👉 Check-it out on Figma now
Rootine is an app that allows you to build your perfect bedtime routine, to reduce anxiety and improve your sleep quality on the long term.
A few things to know about Rootine:
First connection: when sign in, you are required to answer to a self-assessment in order for Rootine to understand your needs, your habits, a few details about your work life and your expectations.
Rootine is meant to be used only twice a day, as we do not want to increase blue light exposition: when validating your task at the evening, and once in the morning when the user is required to fill information about its night.
Rootine proposes a program of 21 days per activity as it’s the proven time for the human brain to turn a routine into a habit.
Rootine only proposes two activities at a time. Why? Because our users are anxious. And adding too many activites could cause them extra distress, which is the opposite of the expected result.
Let’s discover Rootine step by step!
Step 1: Add your first routine
The user is to pick a first activity and set up the different information (duration, start date and hour of practice).
Step 2: Routines complete & Night mode
Once added, the user has to perform the activity and validate it on the app. When all the tasks are done, it’s time to use the night mode! The night mode turns your screen in a darker mode but also deactivate any pollution coming from your phone (notifications, sounds, etc…)
Step 3: Morning notification
In the morning, the user receives a notification in the app asking you to rate your night, using a level bar and some tags. They will be able to add their own tag, as the goal is to understand if there are some issues that the app can help to fix.
Step 4: Data check
Once the user has utilised the app for a few days, it’s possible to access all the data entered. The goal is to analyse if the user faces some issues and if yes, which one. The second part would be to understand if Rootine can help or not. If not, the user will be gently advised to contact a health professional to assist them.
For the next sprint
We enjoyed working on this project, but unfortunately, we only had 2 weeks to prioritise and develop the concept. Here is the improvement we would love to bring on the following spring:
Create a full night mode
Add a Routine buddy that will guide the user’s in their journey.
Connect with a medical platform, so users with serious sleeping disorders can get medical assistance.
Develop a community around sleeping routine, so people could share their routine and exchange what works the best for them.
We had a lot of fun creating this concept and we really hope you enjoyed as well. Feel free to leave any feedback, I would love to have your opinion on it!
