Brief
Tyrewatcher. A versatile app designed for phones, tablets and car headunits utilising BTE technology to connect our bluetooth tyre pressure sensors to your device ranging from one sensor up to 24+ for trucks and other large vehicles.
Goals
Develop a cross-platform app that reliably connects Bluetooth tyre pressure sensors to devices ranging from personal cars to large trucks, providing clear status and alerts.
The challenge
Tyrewatcher needed to operate seamlessly across phones, tablets, and in-car headunits, supporting anywhere from a single tyre sensor to over 24 for large trucks, all while maintaining reliable Bluetooth connectivity via BTE technology.
Process
We began by mapping out user requirements for different vehicle types, from solo drivers to fleet operators, and assessing how interface complexity should scale with the number of connected sensors.
Research
Examined user requirements for varying vehicle types and sensor counts, alongside Bluetooth connectivity challenges and in-car display constraints.
Brand Identity System
The app was designed with a modular interface that dynamically adapts to the number of sensors, providing clear tyre status indicators, alerts, and easy access to detailed readings.

Wireframing
Low-fidelity wireframes defined layouts for various screen sizes, ensuring critical information like pressure warnings and connection status remained prominent across all devices.
UI Design
The design focused on legibility and quick-glance usability, using bold status colours, intuitive icons, and scalable typography optimised for both mobile and in-car visibility.
Development Process
Cross-platform compatibility and Bluetooth stability were prioritised, with the interface built to handle rapid sensor data updates while minimising latency for safety-critical alerts.
