Every day we have to make decisions from what you should eat for lunch to should you ask your crush out, but there is no way to get the “right” answer. Some of these thoughts are not always easy to talk about out loud with a friend, family member or trusted mentor. Right now, so many parts of our lives are tracked through our phones and technology but it’s difficult to determine how it affects us and what to do with all this data. What if there was a way to use this data to help us get answers to the unanswerable? This project is showcases "MetriQ", a speculative app that combines AI chatbots, data visualization and personal data tracking to give us tailored data driven answers and insights to your most pressing questions. Not only will this app work with other apps on your phone, it also connects to a wearable biosensor and smart contacts (seen on display) to understand and measure your life as much as possible. Advertisements for MetriQ were also designed to show how this app can be marketed to consumers in the real world.
