TracStar

Mobile Design

TracStar is a smart insole system designed to prevent lower-limb injuries in athletes by using real-time movement data and AI-powered insights. I created a mobile app prototype to visualize how users—primarily athletes and their supporters—interact with the data gathered from the insole and use it to make safer, more informed training decisions.

Problem Statement

Traditional insoles only provide comfort—not prevention.

Athletes are prone to lower-limb injuries, and there’s a lack of accessible tools to track fatigue or detect harmful movements before injuries occur.

Goals

Design a clean, intuitive app for syncing smart insole data
Help athletes understand and act on injury risk in real time
Prioritize usability based on mentor/team feedback

Key Features

Feature	Purpose
Home Dashboard	Daily summary, injury risk level, quick access to insights
Data Sync Page	Seamless transfer from insole to app
Movement Analysis	Live metrics like stride, pressure, balance
AI Coach	Real-time feedback (e.g., “You’re landing too hard”)
Training Recommendations	Personalized drills and recovery tips

Design Principles

Simplicity over complexity: Prioritized clean layouts with only the most essential features
Feedback-first: Built for actionable insights, not just numbers
Functional visual hierarchy: Important data surfaces first; deeper insights available on tap

Why I Made This Prototype

While there are many tools focused on injury recovery, I wanted to address the gap in injury prevention—especially in high-impact, land-based sports. My prototype focuses on clarity, functionality, and ease of use, reflecting real team and mentor feedback that emphasized simplicity over clutter. This design prioritizes essential features like syncing data, analyzing movement patterns, and receiving real-time AI feedback to help athletes proactively adjust their technique.

Why This Prototype Matters

Injury prevention tools should be proactive, not reactive.

This project gave me the opportunity to merge health tech and user-centered design to create something athletes—and even parents—could trust. With a focus on real-time guidance, I designed TracStar’s interface to deliver value in the moments that matter most.
