Apply Disney's 12 principles to create calming, trustworthy experiences that prioritize clarity and reduce anxiety.
The 12 Principles Applied
1. Squash & Stretch
- Minimal Use: Avoid playful squash on health data
- Breathing Exercises: Gentle expand/contract for guided breathing
- Heart Rate: Subtle pulse matching actual rhythm
2. Anticipation
- Appointment Booking: Brief preparation before confirmation
- Test Results: Thoughtful pause before revealing sensitive data
- Medication Reminders: Gentle fade-in, never jarring
3. Staging
- Critical Alerts: Center stage with clear hierarchy
- Vital Signs: Most important metrics prominently displayed
- Privacy First: Blur or hide sensitive info until focused
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
- Health Journeys: Step-by-step progress (pose to pose)
- Real-time Monitoring: Continuous data streams (straight ahead)
- Onboarding: Clear sequential steps
5. Follow Through & Overlapping Action
- Dashboard Load: Cards appear in logical health order
- Prescription Updates: Medicine icon settles before details
- Chart Animations: Data points connect sequentially
6. Slow In & Slow Out
- All Transitions: Gentle easing, never abrupt
- Modal Reveals: Soft fade-in for sensitive information
- Navigation: Smooth 400-500ms transitions
7. Arc
- Progress Indicators: Circular arcs for completion
- Body Diagrams: Smooth paths between body regions
- Timeline Navigation: Curved paths through health history
8. Secondary Action
- Confirmation Checkmarks: Gentle pulse after booking
- Loading States: Calming animations during data fetch
- Success States: Subtle color transitions
9. Timing
- Slower Overall: 400-600ms for calm, measured feel
- Critical Alerts: Faster 200ms to ensure attention
- Data Entry: Responsive 150ms feedback
10. Exaggeration
- Avoid in Most Cases: Medical context requires restraint
- Emergency Only: Reserved for urgent alerts
- Celebrations: Subtle for health milestones
11. Solid Drawing
- Anatomical Accuracy: Correct body representations
- Chart Clarity: Legible graphs at all sizes
- Accessibility: High contrast, readable animations
12. Appeal
- Calm Professionalism: Trust through restraint
- Warm Colors: Soft blues, greens for comfort
- Human Touch: Gentle transitions feel caring
Industry Timing Standards
| Action | Duration | Easing |
|---|---|---|
| Page Transition | 400-500ms | ease-in-out |
| Modal Open | 350ms | ease-out |
| Alert Appearance | 200ms | ease-out |
| Data Refresh | 300ms | ease-in-out |
| Success Feedback | 400ms | ease-out |
Key Principle
Animations must never cause anxiety or confusion. Prioritize clarity, accessibility, and a calming presence. When in doubt, animate less.
