Sleep Diary Design

The Challenge

The old design for our insomnia program was difficult to manuever, asked confusing questions, and did not include a summary of all the information to display back to the user. 

Stakeholder Interviews

In order to design an experience that resonated with our users, I needed to know more about insomnia and the patients our sleep doctors treat. I interviewed our Product Owner, Product Manager, and our in-house sleep doctor to understand our users’ needs and motivations. Our sleep doctor was a integral part of the solution, as he helped me understand what insomnia patients need.

Competitive Analysis

There are many sleep apps out there, and I downloaded many mobile sleep apps to use as inspiration, but focused on the apps that had similar diary entry features.

User Flow

I used Miro to design a user flow of all the questions we needed to ask the users. I worked closely with our on-staff sleep doctor to word the questions and clarifying descriptions just right, to ensure our users will be able to understand the questions and enter their answers accurately.

Wireframes

I used Miro for wireframes. I wanted the design to be consistent to other questionnaires in the app. I designed the data entry to be as simple and quick as possible, so it doesn’t feel too much like work to the user. I added a multiple choice question to ask the user which part of the program is going well or is difficult for them, along with some affirmative messaging to encourage the user to continue with the program.
