The Problem
Complusive behavior happens when people feel emotional overload, and they need to use their body as an outlet, so they take action. This happens unconsciously and automatically, often within a few seconds.
-How might we make a product that interrupts your thoughts before you take action, to buy you some time to make conscious decisions?
the existing solutions
The existing solution on the market is not always working.
fidget toy looks like it's not suitable to use anywhere, stress level notification on smart bands are often ignored and have no follow-up guidance, there're even a band that gives you a mild electric shock, which feels too much
Exploration
What if a smart band can make notifications non-negligible through physical interruption and also require you to perform an action with your hands before taking a compulsive action?
I started exploring smart bands with an air cushion that can pump up to give you a physical sensation
