FitLoop is a multidisciplinary health-tech concept exploring how wearable interactions and predictive glucose monitoring can support people with Type 1 Diabetes during exercise. Created during an intensive collaborative sprint program with Cornell Tech, Technion, Wix, Irrational Labs, researchers, engineers, behavioral scientists, and healthcare professionals, the project focused on translating complex health-management workflows into a more seamless exercise experience.
Working within a multidisciplinary environment required balancing medical considerations, behavioral patterns, technical feasibility, and product usability within a fast-paced ideation and validation process.
The concept received “Honorable Mention” (2nd Place) and was awarded a cash prize during the program.
For people with Type 1 Diabetes, exercise introduces constant uncertainty around glucose fluctuations. Users often need to continuously monitor trends, anticipate drops, calculate food intake, and adapt workouts in real time. This creates frequent interruptions during physical activity and shifts attention away from the workout itself toward ongoing condition management.
Rather than designing another passive monitoring dashboard, the challenge became creating a system that could actively support users during exercise itself. The goal was to reduce friction in high-attention moments while helping users stay informed, aware, and confident throughout physical activity.
FitLoop combines Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) integration, smartwatch interactions, predictive glucose forecasting, and contextual food recommendations into a connected workout ecosystem. The experience was designed across mobile and wearable devices, where the smartwatch becomes the primary interaction surface during activity while the mobile experience supports setup, planning, and deeper monitoring workflows.
The system provides real-time monitoring and proactive notifications during exercise, helping users respond faster without constantly checking glucose levels manually. My role focused on product direction, UX flows, wearable interaction concepts, interface design, visual language, and presentation design within the multidisciplinary sprint team.
