Anxiety and stress are symptoms that most college students experience at some point during their academic journey. However, long meditation sessions can be hard to fit into a busy schedule. I set out to design a device that students could easily carry in their backpacks and use in places like the library or in class as a simple reminder to breathe and relieve stress.

Calm measures your heartbeat and, if it senses an elevated pulse, the stone glows blue to remind you to breathe.
