Dugan Health filed 1 patent application in H1 2026, focused on UI/UX (1).
The filing covers a fitness application that transforms physical exercise into multiplayer gaming experiences, where users' real-world steps control in-game avatars. This UI/UX patent describes location-based competitive challenges that allow friends to compete with each other through their physical activity.
The single UI/UX patent filed this period centers on a fitness application that bridges physical movement and competitive multiplayer gaming. Rather than treating exercise as a solo activity with badges or streaks, the application uses a person's actual steps and GPS position as the direct input mechanism for controlling an avatar within a shared game environment. What makes the approach distinct is the interconnected nature of the experience: one player's physical output does not exist in isolation but actively shapes what other participants encounter in the game, creating a loop where exercising harder carries consequences for everyone in the session.
