Based on the results of which, we received feedback from the customer and made a list of tasks for the next sprint.

This allowed us to flexibly manage the functionality of the project: test the work of new functions and evaluate how they improve the product.

Based on the feedback from users, we constantly added a certain value to the product, only the best features: recommendations, reports, instructions for customers.

Design
Design takes a special place in the project. We have worked on animations of heartbeat, breathing, scoring indicator, charting.
Designers and analysts have worked out the logic of work and navigation. Combining control of multiple devices in an application turned out to be a difficult but interesting task. We studied user experience outside of the application.
QA
How they sleep on these pillows, how they turn them on and off, what problems arise on the devices, and what difficulties there may be in the settings. We also figured out the limitations of the device - for example, how to work out the situation when the battery in the device is low and the application cannot interact with it.

We decided that the application will ask the device for the charge level and display it in the card of each device. If the charge is low, the indicator will appear on the main screen of the application, next to the name of the device, so that the user can charge it in time.
We have thoroughly researched how people interact with the device.
