## Valuable Insights

Through user interviews and testing, we discovered that users struggled to interpret heart metrics, relied on fragmented alerts, and needed clear visual trends to make timely health decisions.

## Major Findings

### 68% ignored complex alerts

Users often skipped notifications that were hard to understand, showing that alert clarity and prioritization were critical for engagement.

### 50% failed to track daily trends

Daily heart metrics were buried in the interface, preventing users from recognizing patterns and limiting proactive monitoring.

### 35% doubted EKG accuracy

Lack of visual explanation for EKG readings made users question data reliability, reducing trust and app adoption.
