PRODUCT DESIGN

BACKGROUND

What if the car could notice discomfort sooner?

Cars understand the road, the cabin, and the driver. But they still have limited understanding of how passengers physically feel.


MobiCare explores this gap by connecting wearable data, cabin conditions, ride motion, and passenger input. The experience helps passengers notice early signs of discomfort, such as nausea, fatigue, overheating, or stress, and respond with simple comfort actions.

This is not a diagnosis tool. It is a passenger comfort assistant designed for the moments when someone feels not quite fine, but not clearly unwell.





DESIGN PILLARS

What the product does.

Wellness Check-In

Mark how you feel: okay, tired, hot, nauseous, or tense.

Comfort Suggestions

Small actions: cooling, airflow, lighting, rest reminders.

Seat Profiles

Each passenger keeps their own comfort preferences.

Device Status

Shows if wearable data is live, delayed, or unavailable.

Alert Levels

Separates gentle tips from urgent alerts to avoid fatigue.

Automation Control

User decides recommend only, or apply approved settings,

VOICE & TONE

Balancing intelligence with trust.

Too passive — users won't see the value or trust the help.

Too confident — it becomes unsafe, clinical, or misleading.

The fix — a softer model: observe a signal, ask, then offer.

HYDRATION

"You are dehydrated."

"You may need a water break. Want a reminder?"

STRESS

"You are experiencing anxiety."

"Your body signals changed. Would a calmer cabin help?"

MOTIONSICKNESS

"Motion sickness detected."

"This ride may be causing discomfort. Adjust airflow?"

TEMPERATURE

"You are overheating."

"Feeling warm? I can cool your seat or add airflow."

MY ROLE

Turning research into a future mobility concept.

SECONDARY RESEARCH

CONCEPT DESIGN

PRODUCT FLOW

PASSENGER COMFORT

FUTURE VISION

• Studied current in-vehicle sensing, comfort limitations, and wearable health-tracking possibilities

• Framed the product as a comfort assistant, not a diagnostic or medical system

• Created the final concept screens, flows, alerts, and interaction logic for the MobiCare experience.

RESEARCH

Understanding user & in-vehicle comfort gaps

Based on secondary desk research data, current vehicle safety features, passenger comfort issues, wearable health-tracking capabilities, and sensor limitations. The goal was to understand what cars can already detect, what wearables can contribute, and where the gap still exists between vehicle data and passenger health awareness.


This research does not make medical claims. Instead, it maps user comfort concerns to possible signal sources, showing where detection is realistic, limited, or not yet supported by current in-market vehicle technology.

ISSUES

ISSUES

Cars register the motion, never the nausea it causes.

Cabin temperature is measured; personal comfort is not.

Driver drowsiness systems exist; passenger tracking does not.

Driver drowsiness systems exist; passenger tracking does not.
