Lifestyle data is mostly data corresponding
to the user’s body - measuring their physical
movement and tracking their vital signs;
for instance their temperature, pulse, blood
pressure, respiratory rate, responsiveness
and oxygen levels.
These are the sort of thing that existing
wearable devices such as Fitbit’s and Apple
Watches will be able to record in the future,
but I wanted to design a standalone device
that I could build an experience around.
My previous idea for wearable monitoring
patches was something that I could see existing
in the future - but I this felt that this was
too discreet and not quite tangible enough to
exist within this concept.
I found a pack of bendy hairbands in the
scrap store, and I began to play around with
them, envisioning them as simple wearable
devices. I thought about how a user might
wear them, and how they act as one device
within a larger system.
