Mio Performance UX

An ecosystem of heart rate workout devices required a companion app that placed the focus on heart rate training and high-performance usability

“Heart rate training is the single, most effective tool that endurance athletes have to measure and control the intensity of their workouts in a way that will allow long-term athletic performance”

UNDERSTANDING AND ARTICULATING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FEATURES AND BENEFIT

By using brand, product and feature benefit ladders, we were able to articulate and then connect the prioritized functions within the product to the desired emotional and functional benefits we sought for superior product and brand experiences.

INTEGRATING TWO DISTINCT USE SCENARIOS IN ONE PRODUCT EXPERIENCE

Our core benefits of setting objectives, tracking performance, and evaluating progress, needed to accommodate the distinctly different priorities placed on each of those without a resulting compromise for any of them. To do this we made each interaction feel useful and complete with either low-volume or high-volume content.

EXPLORATION OF VISUAL AND BEHAVIORAL LANGUAGES

As we explored user benefit and feature prioritization, we also began work on the interaction models, gestures and visual language that would be prototyped to go through several rounds of user feedback.

Business Outcome

This project led to Mio being selected for integration into all of the adidas miCoach business unit.

“When we made the decision to integrate the Mio technology, we were looking to manufacture a state of the art running watch and understood they had the partners and technology to get the job done.”
