summary

Argues that health visuals must be data-first and user-tested for mobile, using Fitbit’s Reminders to Move as a case study; sketches are throwaway prototypes built in D3/JavaScript/HTML over a few days, productizing takes months. Research shows mobile users want quick, positive answers, so calorie-like charts and creepy bubble metaphors get rejected and stars and half-circle visualization win for motivating activity. Testing before and after design decisions proves what resonates.
