Design description

Nowadays, increasingly more young people have insomnia due to the lack of sunlight, affecting their work and lifestyle. Forise promotes sound sleep, increased activity, and improved self-care. It offers more friendly ways to establish positive life-changing habits and a healthy work-life balance, in addition to reducing the barriers to connections between indoor life and nature. Forise aggregates accurate sunlight-duration reminders, creates good personal habits and promotes connections with local businesses and entertainment.

 

Forise is designed to inform people of sunlight conditions and encourage them to go outside to enjoy the sunshine. It can accompany people in the sun and provide them with positive feedback, such as unlocking new plants or rewards and providing users with a sense of achievement. The project revealed that people lacked sunlight and offered me insight into people's work-life imbalance. Thus, I provide a service that encourages people to exposure to the amount of sunlight, and simultaneously develop good habits and positive attitudes toward life.

 


 

 

Challenge

 

In contemporary society, roll problems have increasingly become a common challenge in people's lives. As urbanization and work pressure continue to increase, more and more people are turning upside down at night, making it difficult to fall asleep. Among them, it is even more difficult for office workers. Facing unique sleep issues. In the fast-paced work life, they often face heavy work tasks and intense work rhythm, resulting in a sharp reduction in sleep time. This not only affects their physical health, but also directly affects work efficiency and quality of life.


At the same time, the indoor trend of modern work environments has also exacerbated this problem. A large number of office workers spend almost all of their time in office buildings. Due to the tight work schedule, it is difficult to take time out to bask in the sun. Not only does a lack of adequate sunlight affect sleep, it can also lead to other health problems.


"Does the solar antenna have an impact on sleep? If so, how does it affect people's sleep?" The designer noticed that the solar antenna may have an impact on sleep, which triggered the designer's research on the mechanism between sleep sunlight and sleep. Research questioning potential links.

 

 

Process

 

 

Designers explored the impact of sunlight on sleep by delving into scientific literature and medical research. Research shows that direct exposure to a certain amount and time of sunlight may have a positive effect on people's sleep quality and mood; while lack of sunlight may lead to increased mortality, increased risk of cardiovascular death, and increased probability of developing diabetes. .


The designers conducted expert interviews to gain a deep understanding of the impact of sunlight on sleep. Neurological experts clearly emphasized the irreplaceability of sunlight in the regulation of physiological functions, further supporting the research direction of design; clinical psychologists pointed out that interventional adjustments, drug treatment and physical therapy are the main psychological intervention methods, while physical therapy The treatment is more effective and has fewer side effects.

 

 

 

To identify the reasons for people's lack of sunlight exposure and the relationship between sunlight intake and sleep, the designers conducted a seven-day experiment with observation diaries recording light and sleep data. The experiment had a total of 70 samples, including 10 participants aged between 21 and 52 years old and engaged in various occupations.


Through detailed data visualization, the designers established a sunlight intake time statistics table, which contains information on participants' light time, sleep time, sleep quality and sleepiness level, to understand the subjective and objective reasons for people's lack of adequate sun exposure.


In the analysis of the relationship between sleep and sunlight intake, the designers extracted key data indicators and summarized them as follows: Sunlight exposure will affect sleep duration, sleep quality, and the balance between sleep and wakefulness; the main reasons for low sun exposure are subjective factors.

 

 

 

The designer summarized three typical user portraits and drew a user journey map with Ming Li as the representative, showing her behavioral activities during the workday. Ming Li works long hours and often needs to work overtime; she hopes to balance work and life and have healthier living habits. By analyzing the user's behavior, emotions and expectations, the designer proposed a series of opportunities, including displaying weather conditions, utilizing fragmented time, and reminding time in the sun, etc. This provides a strong direction for the subsequent design.

 

 

 

Next, the designer organized a design workshop, the purpose of which was to enable individuals to integrate different types of ideas through design co-creation to build future scenarios and stories. The workshop process is divided into several key steps: introduction (15 minutes), discussion (20 minutes), conception (25 minutes) and output (20 minutes). The six members proposed their own creative plans to provide guidance for subsequent designs. inspired.

Key insights emerged from the workshop, including that insufficient leisure time may make increasing sun exposure impossible, that there is a gap between personal aspirations and efforts related to work-life imbalance, and that individuals are more inclined to expand. Familiarize yourself with the functionality of the product rather than using a new item.

 

 

 

During the requirements analysis process, designers transform users' actual needs into design opportunities, emphasizing the usability, interactivity, effectiveness, and reliability of the design to ensure that the final product meets user expectations. By in-depth understanding of users' behaviors, situations and expectations, designers conducted "what if" scenario analysis to simulate user needs in different scenarios, and based on this, they proposed design principles: product design should guide users to conduct behavioral reflection and positive thinking. Behavior change; links to local ecosystems make products more localized and more in line with users' lifestyles; stimulate users' desire to learn by letting users experience the consequences of their actions; provide a sense of accomplishment and pleasure when achieving goals. Finally, the designers asked the key question of the design: How to create a service that motivates people to increase their exposure to the sun and provides a better experience?


The design stakeholders are mainly composed of collaborators, users, and online and offline partners. Offline partners include local farms, local plant dealers, and local gyms. This helps create a more complete product ecosystem that aligns with actual needs.

 

 

 

Outcomes

 

 
 

 

Forise includes both online and offline parts. Its main goal is to provide people with a relaxed and positive living habit and to establish a friendly platform while creating a connection between nature and people in behavior and mind through the Forise application. establish connection. The system includes a wealth of design elements. By completing system tasks and accumulating days, users can create their own virtual gardens and obtain offline experience rewards.

 

 

The Forise application covers four major sections, namely outdoor activities, weather, garden and navigation. Forise's purpose is to promote good sleep, increase activity frequency, and improve self-care. It provides users with a more friendly way to help them establish positive living habits and achieve a healthy work-life balance.

 

 

To ensure that users can complete the main functions of the application and check the rationality of each interface interaction, the designer conducted usability testing of the design. Users have commented positively on the clear and friendly interface of the app, with its pleasing colors. Feedback prompted two design iterations that improved the layout of the garden and event pages and made images easier to select.

 

 

Finally, the designer drew Forise's service blueprint and business canvas, clearly showing the entire service process and its business model.

 

 

Impact

 

The launch of Forise design will have a profound and positive impact on many levels, from individual lives to the entire society. Forise encourages a good lifestyle. By promoting good sleep, increasing the frequency of outdoor activities and improving self-care levels, Forise enables users to enjoy an active and healthy life, establish a connection with nature, and enhance their awareness of sunlight. Improve physical and mental health. Forise also creates a win-win social ecosystem by connecting individuals with local businesses and entertainment venues.

 

On a broader level, the launch of Forise will lead society in a healthier, more positive direction. In the future, Forise plans to establish a partnership with the World Health Organization to ensure that more people can benefit from this service. In addition, they plan to develop more projects to encourage people to move from indoors to outdoors and develop healthier living habits. Forise not only focuses on improving the app itself, but also on developments that have a broader positive impact on society.
