The challenge

Meditation apps are everywhere, but most give no real proof it's working. Coherence needed an interface that felt as credible as the science behind it — HRV (heart rate variability) technology, measured through the phone's camera — while staying calm, simple, and approachable for everyday users just starting a practice.

A calm, health-forward interface built on real HRV science

The approach

  1. Design for trust. A clean, minimal interface that signals real health tech, not a gimmick — because users are trusting it to read their body.
  2. A calming color system. Built a soft, health-focused palette that feels clinical enough to trust and calm enough to meditate with.
  3. Simplicity over complexity. Reduced the experience to its essentials — place a finger, follow the guide, see your result — so the science stays invisible and the experience stays easy.
  4. UI that matches the outcome. Designed the interface to make progress and results feel clear and motivating, not clinical or confusing.
