Problem
Many individuals struggle with managing stress and achieving restful sleep due to a lack of awareness regarding their breathing patterns and heart rate variability (HRV). Traditional methods for improving these metrics often lack real-time feedback and personalization, making it difficult for users to effectively regulate their physiological responses.
Solution
Oxa provides a wearable sensor and accompanying mobile application that functions as a digital breathing coach, offering real-time biofeedback to help users manage stress and improve sleep. The Oxa sensor measures respiration rate and heart rate (ECG), transmitting this data to the app, which then guides users through personalized breathing exercises. These exercises are designed to move the user's HRV into a healthy zone, promoting relaxation and improving sleep quality. By providing immediate, measurable results, Oxa helps users understand the impact of their breathing on their vital signs and learn techniques for achieving a calmer, more grounded state.
Target Audience
Oxa is designed for individuals over the age of 16 who are looking to better manage their body's response to stress, improve sleep quality, and build resilience over time through conscious breathing practices.
