Viking Health’s measurement instructions started as hand-labelled points on a printed body. I turned them into an animated tape guide and a screen for entering each measurement.
Viking Health’s app helps people track their recovery by measuring their body. A product designer was struggling to teach elderly users the correct method, and a misplaced tape gives a wrong number.
Turning labels into a sequence
I designed the measurement guide for Viking Health’s recovery app at Quovantis. The printed outline set the order, which runs from the neck down to the calf.
Pairing placement with entry
Each screen shows the body guide above a centimetre value with plus and minus controls. Previous and Next buttons keep people in the measurement order.
Red carries the active state
The tape uses the app’s active red so the guide speaks the same language as the controls. Lato with light blue and navy anchors the rest of the interface.
Teaching a physical task on a screen
One point at a time turns a physical task into steps anyone can follow at home. The same pattern can guide any measurement that a patient takes alone.
