TakeTen
TakeTen commissioned this project based on using a smartphone to monitor heart rate variability and in turn the level of coherence. This provides a biofeedback mechanism for stress and anxiety and in this package is used as part of an employee wellbeing programme. TakeTen and Scaffold Digital have worked together on a number of mobile apps that have been designed and developed for the health sector. The TakeTen app had a requirement for us to develop three core exercises, including: Giving users the ability to track their heart rate while the app helps them to regulate their breathing with a visual indicator, a section that will allow them to learn mediation techniques and a game that allows users to sort dots based on their heart rate. All of this happens whilst the app is visually indicating your levels of stress using a traffic light system. Users are also attributed a score based on the length of time they spend in each of the zones, which they can track over time alongside their heart rate during any given session in the app.
