Inspiration
Stress and anxiety can creep up, this will help you kick them out.
What it does
It soothingly vibrates as it notices you're getting more stressed to help calm you down.
Research has found that rhythmic haptic stimulation (think phone vibrations) can cause your heart and breathing rate to synchronize with the stimuli. Kickout gently mimics slow, deep breaths through haptic feedback after it notices an increasing heart rate to help calm you back down.
How I built it
With lots of coffee!
Challenges I ran into
Sewing and soldering the device into the wristband was difficult. My heart rate sensor is not adept at taking measurements on the wrist.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
It works! It's pretty soothing to wear.
What's next for HeartSync
I'm going to keep refining the algorithm, cleaning the design, and focusing on the user.
