Problem
Many individuals experience difficulty managing stress, anxiety, and sleep problems due to a lack of awareness and consistent practice of effective breathing techniques. Traditional methods often require focused effort and can be challenging to maintain in daily routines.
Solution
Moonbird offers a handheld breathing coach designed to guide users through tactile exercises that promote relaxation and reduce stress. The device expands and contracts in the user's hand, providing a physical cue to synchronize breath without the need for counting or mental effort. An integrated PPG sensor tracks heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV), providing real-time biofeedback through a companion mobile app. Users can select from preset or customizable breathing rhythms, and the app offers educational content to enhance understanding and practice.
