ELVIE SOOTH & SLEEP
Product Designer | App design
Design and delivery for the newest connected app at Elvie.
Empowering new parents with intuitive control of the Elvie Rise product, while enhancing its value by helping them understand, track, and confidently plan their baby’s sleep.
Problem
During early parenthood, two key needs emerge around baby sleep:
Helping soothe baby to sleep.
Understanding and shaping sleep patterns to create hands-free time.
Without these, parents risk burnout from sleep deprivation and concern for their baby's well-being.
Solution
The connected app must control the Elvie Rise product with simplicity and quick access to controls. Fostering trust without feeling overly technical. (Research shows parents avoid anything too "robotic" for their babies.)
To enhance the experience and provide true hands-free time, the app should also track and plan baby’s sleep, offering reassurance and reducing mental stress. Simply presenting graphs isn’t enough though; the app must deliver actionable insights from tracking data, filling gaps for sleep-deprived parents and making the next day easier.
Delivery
The app was designed with three key zones: product controls, tracking and insights, and educational resources on sleep techniques and guides.
Using agile methods, my team and I developed the first app iteration, working closely with firmware and hardware teams to ensure smooth integration.
My responsibilities were design, delivery and QA.
The outcome
Launching soon.
“Means I can follow my baby rather than following a schedule”
User trial feedback
“I did a lot of research into when my child should be sleeping and tried to match his naps to that, but this would show me when my child actually sleeps.”
