OwlEye – by Optalert
I collaborated with Jhavtech Studios as the lead Product Designer to bring Optalert’s innovative sleep health app, OwlEye, to life. OwlEye is a native iOS application designed to empower users to assess their sleep health in minutes, detect potential signs of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and access a library of expert-reviewed resources on sleep health. The app leverages Optalert’s cutting-edge algorithm, a breakthrough in sleep health assessment, developed in collaboration with leading sleep laboratories such as Monash Medical Centre and IBAS.
Objective
To design an intuitive, user-friendly application that allows users to effortlessly undertake a sleep health test, understand their results, and take steps toward better sleep health. The app needed to integrate complex medical algorithms into a seamless, engaging experience for everyday users.
Process
Discovery & Research: Collaborated closely with Jhavtech’s iOS developers and the Optalert team to understand the scientific basis of the test and user expectations.
User-Centred Design: Focused on creating an interface that would make the test process simple and non-intimidating while maintaining a professional and trustworthy feel.
Prototyping & Testing: Developed wireframes and interactive prototypes to iterate on functionality and flow, ensuring the app met both clinical and user needs.
Development Collaboration: Collaborated with the team to ensure smooth implementation of the design within iOS’s native framework, ensuring a polished final product.
Outcome
The OwlEye app launched successfully, offering users a quick, reliable sleep health assessment powered by Optalert’s world-renowned technology. Feedback highlighted the app's simplicity and informative nature, making sleep health accessible to a wide audience. OwlEye has since become a valuable tool in raising awareness about sleep issues and encouraging users to seek professional advice.
