Overview

Figma asked teams to design a speculative tool that tracks and influences something intangible about the human sensory experience, supporting wellness or behavioral change.

In 72 hours, our team designed a wearable and app to help women with PCOS understand their hormones. We drew on our own experiences with the healthcare system to shape every feature.

Challenge

Four women sitting together looking out over water

As of 2021, there are approximately 65.77 million women worldwide living with diagnosed and undiagnosed polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).

Research

For Queenie, she always had irregular periods, stubborn acne, and a gut feeling something was wrong. For years she assumed, “This is just how my body is.”

Personal Story

The 72-Hour Process

A collage of the team working through the 72-hour hackathon — whiteboarding, pairing at laptops, and a “Locked in on Figma!” sticker — In 72 hours, we combined rapid research, team whiteboarding, and lived-experience interviews to define the core problem space.

Problem Statement

How might we help women with PCOS understand what their bodies are telling them?

The team receiving the Most Impact Award at FigBuild 2026

Out of 688 submissions, we received the Most Impact Award. The judges praised us for our highly researched and impactful solution.

Reflections

Designing from the inside

Being the user meant I caught assumptions my teammates couldn't. It taught me that lived experience is research, but it still needs to be checked against other people's realities.

Constraints sharpened the concept

The short timeline forced us to cut early and often. The features that survived were the ones tied directly to a real moment in a PCOS patient's week.

Impact came from specificity, not scope

We won Most Impactful not by covering everything PCOS touches, but by doing a few things with care. I carry that into how I scope every project now.
