Over the course of 6 weeks, Coach Nova builds a personalized sleep schedule for you and helps you form healthy sleep habits.
Background
Lumosity has been looking to expand its value proposition beyond brain training into other areas of brain health and wellness and chose sleep improvement as its first focus area. I was selected to be on the team charged with building an iOS app focused on sleep improvement.
Within 8 months, we researched, prototyped, built, and launched Nova Sleep Coach as an experimental Lumosity Labs product. Within another 10 months, we shipped 15 iterative releases to improve app retention and engagement. Nova Sleep Coach has been used by over 7,000 people and has a 4.5 star rating in the App Store.
Role
I was the sole UX designer on a core team of six, with a senior product manager and four iOS developers. I collaborated closely with a visual designer and illustrator on the UI and branding. We worked with several scientific advisors to develop the product content.
