Glimp offers Pebbles, a handheld bio‑sensor that records heart‑rate variability, blood‑oxygen saturation and respiration rate while delivering tactile vibration cues for paced breathing without a screen. The device syncs with a mobile app that uses AI‑driven analytics to generate stress‑resilience scores, trend visualizations and personalized reports, and can be provisioned through corporate wellness platforms with optional coaching subscriptions.

Problem
Many individuals experience chronic stress, poor sleep, and anxiety due to shallow, unstructured breathing habits, and existing mindfulness apps rely on screens and do not provide objective physiological feedback. This makes it difficult to build lasting breath‑control skills and to monitor mental‑wellness metrics such as heart‑rate variability (HRV) and blood‑oxygen saturation (SpO₂).
Solution
Glimp delivers a handheld bio‑sensor device called Pebbles that synchronises with a companion mobile app to guide users through paced breathing exercises using tactile vibration cues, eliminating the need to count breaths mentally or stare at a screen. The embedded sensors continuously capture HRV, SpO₂, and respiration rate, feeding the data to an AI‑powered analytics engine that translates raw biometrics into actionable stress‑resilience scores and personalized progress reports. Users can run sessions offline, while the app stores encrypted health data and visualises trends over time. For corporate clients, Pebbles can be provisioned through existing vitality platforms, allowing employers to allocate budget and track employee well‑being at scale. Optional live coaching integrates the same biometric insights to tailor therapeutic guidance.
Target Audience
Primary users are health‑conscious individuals and employees of organizations that offer wellness benefits, as well as breath‑work coaches and therapists seeking a data‑backed tool for client sessions.
