Fersk

Fersk combines three functions to help its users deal with panic attacks through three stages. All the functions are dependent on the heart rate being picked up by the device. Firstly, a biofeedback treatment, which is commonly used in clinic treatments, helps the user understand their situation and re-centre themselves quickly. This is achieved via finger electrodes and a biochip that senses the user’s stress level by analysing HRV (heart rate variety), then showing the stress level and heart rate on the fabric screen. After which, the device offers a breathing guidance to help the user regulate their breathing. To further provide the user with a sense of safety, the user can slide open the cover to take in the fresh air that is generated by Fersk. Fresh air is known to help with anxiety. With the user’s data being store in an APP, Fersk can be used as a supplementary aid to clinic treatment. Panic attack sufferers should gradually establish their confidence with the device. When the user no longer needs the help of Fersk, the product comes with a recycle plan that is based on its condition of use. Red Dot Award: Design Concept | Concept | Wellness & Beauty
