HOW DO WE CREATE USER-CENTERED DESIGN?

We begin by understanding people—their needs, behaviors, and interactions with the subject, whether that’s a company, product, process, or service. Our goal is always the same: to deliver the best possible user experience, whether that means an intuitive device that makes life easier, an airport journey that feels fast and enjoyable, or a city where thoughtful planning creates an exceptional quality of life.

MEET SOPHIE

Sophie is 24, and technology is seamlessly integrated into her daily life—far simpler than when her parents needed a different device for everything. She’s athletic, health-conscious, and carefully monitors her blood sugar, nutrition, and weight due to hypoglycemia. She runs five days a week, balances work and personal commitments, and cherishes time with her family, music, movies, and her dog. Busy as she is, Sophie values anything that simplifies her life.

On a Beautiful Sunday in June...

Sophie gets up for her 7-mile run, puts on her Smart ID, tells it to play her most upbeat music, and heads out. At 3 miles, she feels a bit fatigued and checks her blood sugar on her Smart ID—it’s low, so she stops for a juice. At the store, she grabs a juice and pays with a simple swipe before getting back on the road. By mile 5, she realizes she can’t finish today, so she uses her Smart ID to call her sister, who picks her up and drives her home. When she arrives, her Smart ID unlocks the front door automatically, and she enters with a sigh of relief. As she relaxes on the sofa, she checks her Smart ID: 5.1 miles run, 309 calories burned, 200 consumed. “Not bad,” she says, then tells her Smart ID to start a movie.

How Does Sophie Interact with Her Smart ID?

Sophie has relied on her Smart ID for years—first in high school for tracking runs, calling friends, and listening to music, and later as an essential tool for managing her hypoglycemia. During a severe episode last year, doctors accessed her medical records and insurance instantly through the device, ensuring immediate care. Smart ID anticipates her needs, partnering with leading companies across industries to deliver value beyond what Sophie imagines. It’s more than a device; it’s a platform no one wants to live without.

WHY SOFIE’S DEVICE WORKS SO WELL

Sophie is unaware of the countless usability tests behind Smart ID, but they are exactly why it works so well. From the beginning, Smart ID has tracked user behaviors, habits, and lifestyles to refine every interaction, uncover new opportunities, and add more value each year. Each new feature begins as a prototype, tested with real users whose actions, reactions, and feedback reveal where improvements are needed. Challenges are addressed, retested, and refined until the experience feels seamless—so when Sophie uses her Smart ID, it simply works.

Sophie's Device

By the time Sophie gets her Smart ID, it’s been carefully engineered to feel like magic. It handles the little things automatically—brewing her coffee at 7 a.m., unlocking her car as she walks up, opening the garage—while voice commands take care of everything else. New features appear instantly, and she can turn them on with a single click—no forms, no contracts, no hassle. Behind the scenes, Smart ID is the result of clever design, usability testing, and lots of iteration, anticipating her needs so seamlessly that Sophie barely has to think about it. It just works… and makes her life a little bit easier every day.
