Real-Time Inflammation Monitoring Using Wearables
This project combined biosensor interface design, academic literature review, and market research.
Sen-Jam Pharmaceutical is a startup focused on developing innovative treatments for inflammation-based conditions by targeting the root causes of inflammation through drug repurposing and upstream intervention.
I worked on a system for tracking inflammation using sweat-based wearable sensors, focusing on interface design and real-time feedback.
Sure, collecting biometric signal data is nice, but is it accurate, and is it being presented in an understandable way? The demo gives a simplified instance in which mock data is processed and visualized in a way that can be useful to both patients and clinicians.
Building the demo, some guiding questions were:
- What makes information feel meaningful, or usable?
- How do you represent inconclusive data?
- What could a user actually do with their data?
- How do design choices affect interpretation?
The project also helped me think more broadly about digital health tools and the kinds of interfaces we’ll need as they become more personal and continuous.
