- Problem
- Tracking the whole body takes an impractical number of separate trackers, so athletes never get one overview of their potential or their injuries.
- Approach
- Semi-structured interviews, idea generation and “How might we…”, personas, storyboards and wireframes, evaluated with early-adopter athletes.
- Outcome
- A body-tracking concept built on a 3D model with a dynamic layout: sleep quality, workout recaps, and warnings with recommendations.
Tracking Triumph is for the athlete who wants the very last per cent — the Cristiano Ronaldos and Kristian Blummenfeldts — and for the one nursing an injury who wants a safe, fast comeback, like Zlatan Ibrahimović or Jonas Abrahamsen.
One body, too many trackers
Tracking the whole body today means strapping on an impractical number of separate trackers, so athletes never get one overview of their potential or their injuries. Our users are early-adopter athletes and tech-curious exercisers, 18 to 64. We interviewed a PhD student in health and rehabilitation technology to learn how athletes and the health sector actually use fitness apps.
Ideas, personas, one colour rule
- Idea generation, How might we, personas, storyboard, wireframes.
- 60-30-10: dark blue, orange, white — the same everywhere.
- Orange, because it feels at home next to the fitness apps people already have.
Tracking Triumph
- A 3D model of you on the main page, replaying your movements in real time and flagging anything that goes wrong mid-workout.
- Sleep. An in-depth read of your sleep stages and how they are distributed.
- Workout recap. Weekly, monthly and yearly analytics, comparisons, and visual guides — videos and images — for safer, more efficient training.
- Warnings and recommendations. Sensors track the movement, the model shows it, and the system warns before a movement becomes an injury.
Tested on the right people
- Only early-adopter athletes took part, which kept the feedback sharp.
- The PhD student from the interview stayed with us through the testing.
- The full write-up is linked at the top.
