A Friendly App for Smarter Health Tracking
Glunova is a mobile health app designed to help people track their blood sugar and daily habits in a way that feels simple, warm, and approachable. Built with users of all ages in mind — from teens to seniors — the app makes it easy to log glucose, meals, medications, and activities in just a few taps.
Unlike many health apps that feel too clinical or complex, Glunova uses a soft visual identity, intuitive navigation, and thoughtful features like reminders and insights to support users in building healthier routines. Whether you're managing diabetes or simply trying to stay on track, Glunova is your everyday companion for better wellness — anytime, anywhere.
Problem & Solution
Problem
In an age where everything is fast and accessible, many people — from teenagers to the elderly — often neglect their health, especially when it comes to diet and lifestyle. Excessive consumption of unhealthy food, lack of routine checkups, and poor medication adherence contribute to a rise in blood sugar-related conditions, such as diabetes. In countries like Indonesia, this issue has become increasingly common, even among younger populations. However, existing health apps often feel overly clinical or complex, making them intimidating or difficult for everyday users to adopt consistently.
Solution
To make health tracking more approachable, I designed Glunova, a mobile app focused on simplifying blood sugar monitoring and daily habit tracking. The app features a clean and friendly interface that allows users to log their glucose levels, food intake, medications, and physical activities easily. With soft visuals, clear reminders, and accessible insights, Glunova supports users of all ages in maintaining healthier routines and making better daily choices — all without feeling overwhelmed.
Glunova turns health tracking into a habit that feels human, simple, and supportive.

Competitor Analysis
I conducted research on several blood glucose tracking applications by analyzing their strengths and weaknesses across multiple aspects: overall functionality, user experience, and user interface (visual design). The goal of this analysis is to identify key insights that will help define Glunova’s positioning, enabling it to deliver a more relevant, user-friendly, and visually engaging experience for its users.
Quantitative Insight
I conducted a survey using Google Forms and collected responses from several users. The data gathered was then analyzed and summarized into quantitative insights as follows.
From the data above, get a summary:
Ease of Use → 66% find apps complicated.
Key Features → Reminders (42%) & Daily Summary (24%) are top priorities.
Design Preference → 61% prefer simple & friendly design.
Logging Habit → 67% often/sometimes forget to log due to long process.
Daily Summary → 79% consider it very important.
App Tone → 72% prefer supportive & motivating tone over clinical.
Key Takeaways:
Apps are still perceived as complicated, process simplification needed.
Reminders & clear daily summary are the most essential features.
Users strongly prefer a simple, friendly design with a supportive tone rather than clinical.
Qualitative Insight
Through interviews with several users, I explored their habits and motivations. These insights guided me in improving the user experience of Glunova.
Below are some common statements and key takeaways mentioned by users during the interviews.
