RUT App is a data-driven workplace wellbeing application developed as part of a bachelor graduation project. The project addresses the often-overlooked issue of chronic work-related stress caused by poor communication, low transparency, and unhealthy corporate culture within organizations. The app serves as the digital core of the RUT System, translating biofeedback data and subjective user input into understandable stress insights and actionable feedback for both employees and management.
The main challenge was to visualize invisible psychological stress without increasing user anxiety, while simultaneously balancing personal data privacy and organizational transparency. The app needed to:
_ Communicate complex physiological data in an intuitive, non-medical way
_ Support individual stress awareness without stigmatization
_ Enable organizational reflection without exposing personal identities
RUT App is designed for two primary user groups:
_ Employees: to understand personal stress patterns, receive guided breathing and relaxation programs, and maintain control over data visibility
_ Managers / Executives: to observe aggregated stress trends, evaluate corporate culture, and receive strategic recommendations for improvement
The system strictly separates private data and organizational insights through anonymized visualization.
The app integrates biofeedback data (HRV, respiration, GSR) with self-reported surveys to generate stress avatars representing individual and collective work states. Data is processed centrally and translated into:
_ Personal stress state visualizations
_ Aggregated team or company stress avatars
_ Feedback loops for both individual wellbeing and organizational decision-making
This dual-layer UX structure allows personal reflection and systemic insight to coexist without conflict.
Key UX features include:
_ Stress visualization avatars for intuitive self-awareness
_ Professional health data dashboards for employees
_ Company scoring and feedback system for organizational reflection
_ Personalized stress relief and breathing programs
_ Separate employee and executive app versions
RUT App demonstrates how UX/UI design can mediate between personal wellbeing and organizational systems. Rather than treating stress as an individual failure, the project reframes it as a systemic signal that can be measured, visualized, and addressed through thoughtful interaction design.
