Challenge

Sixty is a wearable hydration monitor that tracks body hydration, heart rate, and activity. The challenge was to find a non-obvious way to connect the device with a smartphone so the companion app wouldn't feel like just another dashboard with charts, but became a natural part of the user's daily health routine. An additional complexity: the app needed to work equally well for different user groups, from active adults to children and elderly family members

Approach

The focus was on minimalism and clarity. Instead of overwhelming the user with raw data, the interface surfaces three core metrics: hydration level, heart rate, and activity in a clean, readable format. The app supports two modes depending on usage: real-time continuous monitoring and periodic check-ins with the last recorded values. Smart alerts notify users when hydration drops or the device battery is low. To address the family use case, a Family Sharing feature was designed, letting one person monitor the vitals of multiple family members from a single screen

A companion app that extends the value of the Sixty device beyond personal use. The interface stays focused on what matters: hydration, without turning into a data-heavy health tracker. Family Sharing makes Sixty useful for caregivers, parents, and anyone looking after a relative's wellbeing, broadening the product's audience while keeping the experience simple
