Attain app
Creating a Health Experience for All
Attain is more than just a fitness app—it’s a personalized health and rewards experience designed to help users build sustainable habits. By combining wearable sensor data with user health history, Attain sets achievable goals that evolve over time, encouraging users to become more active and engaged in their well-being.
As the Accessiblity designer, my focus was to ensure that Attain supported a diverse range of users—from those who are highly active wheelchair users to those just beginning their health journey. This meant designing a flexible, adaptive experience that prioritized usability, accommodation for all abilities, and a motivational approach that empowered users without centering illness. Through thoughtful design decisions, we created an app that promotes holistic well-being, making health progress feel attainable for everyone.

Building an Inclusive Design System: Dynamic Type, Dark Mode, and Landscape Accessibility
To ensure Attain was delightful for all users, we built a scalable, accessibility-first design system that adapted seamlessly to different needs and preferences.
- Dynamic Type: We implemented responsive typography to support users who require larger text sizes, ensuring that information remained readable without disrupting the layout.
- Dark Mode: Recognizing that low-light visibility is essential for accessibility, we designed a dark mode that provided a high-contrast, low-strain experience without sacrificing clarity.
- Landscape Support: Many fitness and health apps neglect landscape orientation.
By embedding these features into the core design system, we created an app that adapts to individual preferences while
Designing for a Health Journey That Speaks to All Abilities
Attain isn’t just about counting steps or closing rings—it’s about helping users build sustainable habits that fit their unique lifestyles. To ensure the app was inclusive of all movement types, we prioritized goal-setting, activity tracking, and challenges that accommodated a range of abilities.
- Activity Tracking for All: The app’s calorie-based goal system dynamically adjusts based on sex, weight, and previous activity levels, helping users build progress at their own pace. For users requiring medical accommodations, the system automatically adjusts goals or provides alternative ways to earn rewards.
- Personalized Challenges: Users could opt into multi-length challenges that aligned with their capabilities, while real-time tracking, progress monitoring, and ranking provided motivation without unnecessary pressure.
- Visual Progress Indicators: Interactive wave animations and progress bubbles offered a clear, engaging way to track daily and weekly goals, making success feel tangible and rewarding.
By designing an experience that empowers all users, we created a motivational, adaptable, and inclusive health platform that supports everyone on their journey to better health.
