Abstract

VibeFit is an online platform designed to assist postpartum women in gaining physical and emotional recovery through personalized fitness and nutrition planning. Especially intended for mothers in their first year post-childbirth, the website addresses key issues new mothers experience, such as chronic fatigue, non-traditional schedules, low energy, and a lack of availability of health information specific to them. Unlike generic health applications, VibeFit offers postpartum-dedicated recovery-functionality based on the user's postpartum status, physical readiness, and wellness goals.The application has an embedded set of instruments like a highly customizable exercise logger, calorie- and macronutrient-diet planner, and interactive visualizations for periodical progress monitoring. Nutrition is guided by an adjustment of the calculator for states of breastfeeding and metabolic deterioration, with the fitness module providing phase-relevant movement prompts that progress sequentially from low-work exercise mobility up to more high-energy routines. All modules are designed to enable small, concrete goals that restrict cognitive load as much as possible while promoting habitual development in the new mother context. VibeFit is intended for women in the 0-12 month postpartum period, offering them a flexible and evidence-based system to rebuild strength, balance nutrition, and monitor well-being on their terms. Its interactive nature enables users to create and log custom meals, monitor caloric intake by portion or gram, and visualize their own trends in weight and activity without pressure or judgment. Also, its system of feedback is responsive, a feature that ensures consistency since it provides milestones for progress, thereby engaging users even when life turns unpredictable.Through its customization to the very unique physiological and psychological needs of postpartum bodies, VibeFit is more than a self-tracking device—it is a kind of virtual space-sensitive to real maternal recovery. Its usefulness lies in simplicity, personalization, and adaptability, offering women not only guidance but also agency at one of the most life-altering moments of their lives.
