Moodbeam

Sauce captured the mood for the world’s first wearable emotion tracker

THE CLIENTS BUSINESS CHALLENGE

Moodbeam is the Hull-based company behind the world’s first self-reporting, wearable mental health tracker.

The Moodbeam device is a wristband that allows its user to log how they feel by tapping a button. The company needed a mobile platform that would connect to the hardware, enabling the user to store, view and interpret the data.

THE PROCESS

We began with an intensive brainstorming session, fully exploring Moodbeam’s own ideas, vision and objectives.

During the iterative process, it became clear that what was initially envisaged wouldn’t match up to how people would use the product in reality. We had to adapt to the results of UX testing.

THE SOLUTION

Working in close collaboration with Moodbeam and the company’s Chinese-based hardware manufacturers, we concluded that an app with an intuitive interface was required.

It needed to turn the data collected from the wearable device into patterns and trends to provide the user with an insight into how they felt and what influenced their moods through the day.

THE RESULTS

The unique app connects wirelessly to a USB chip in the Moodbeam wristband, meaning the wearer can access the data from any paired device.

The user is able to log how they feel throughout the course of the day by tapping the relevant button on the wristband, with the data stored and presented on the fully customisable app.

Moodbeam has quickly become widely established as an agile solution to monitor not only personal wellbeing, but also workplace mental health.

THE CLIENTS VERDICT

"Sauce jumped on board and helped steer some very interactive and lively meetings to help draw out the essence of what we were trying to achieve."
