What if an insulin pump could be a premium accessory that seamlessly integrates into your daily life?
Current problem 01
Social Stigma & Device Visibility
Visible diabetes devices can draw unwanted attention, leading to social stigma and self-consciousness, particularly among younger users. This often discourages consistent use or prompts disabling essential features like alarms, impacting diabetes management.




Current problem 02
Maintenance Hassles
Users struggle with the complexity of daily tasks like charging, refilling insulin, and troubleshooting, leading to frustration and reduced adherence to treatment.

Users insight & Product Research
Advanced Tech, Unattractive Look
I conducted user interviews and showcased various CMF options to capture their emotional reactions. While many appreciated the advanced technology, the clinical design of current devices was off-putting. Even those who felt comfortable with their devices and valued their community expressed a desire for a more stylish, refined look to boost broader acceptance.

Rapid prototyping evaluation
Through rapid prototyping, I 3D printed various proportions and forms to evaluate the sensorial feedback of interacting with the pod.
By replicating key moments from the user journey, I gained valuable insights to refine the design, ensuring each interaction feels intuitive and seamless.
