Introducing Nimbus

Informative Interactive Data Visuals 

The goal of the app was to give parents a quick summary of the state of their child without bombarding them with detailed information. The home screen gives live feeds of temperature, breathing rate, and motion while also showing the current sleep state. Parents are able to track the sleep quality of their child so that they can know which soothing techniques work and which don’t.
