Problem: 

We're constantly connected to technology through our phones, laptops, tablets, TVs, and other devices. It distracts us from completing our to-do lists, but it can also harm our eyes. Say goodbye to addictive games, text messages, and Instagram Stories and hello to this app that will help you reduce your daily screen time.

                      Design Sprint Process:

Understand , Ideate , Decide , Prototype and Test

Understanding Problem


To learn what users need and dislike about the apps which serve similar purpose, user research was conducted through user interviews.
 

User Research

I conducted user interviews to

  • Understand whether users are interested to manage their screen time

  • Gather their expectations from the app

  • Find out their experiences with other screen time managing app

Target Audience

Students, Young Professionals

Interview Process

  • Interviewed 8 participants with diverse backgrounds

  • Same set of questions for all participants

  • Ensured that all the responses are personalized answers but not generic ones

The research results were rapidly transformed into empathy maps, sketches, wireframes, and prototypes
