Mobile App + Wearable For Neurostimulation

A radical, out-of-the-box mood-altering wearable for stress relief and managing neurological disorders. California based startup wanted to develop a non-invasive, bioelectronic platform that effectively targets autonomic nerve pathways important in a number of disease processes and impactful for everyday living. Conceptualized by a dynamic team of scientists from MIT, Harvard and Stanford, the wearable device would be designed to send low intensity `neuro-signals' to the brain which helped users go from anxious to calm state of mind in minutes. And all this should be done using a mobile app.

Accion Labs was asked to conceptualize, design and build a digital experience interface for the wearable device. This included the development of the device firmware, iOS Mobile application and a Web-based application.

Our engagement model

The engagement model consisted of the following key elements: Discovery Workshops & Experience Strategy: A deep dive with the customer to define product concept and stratety, existing technology architecture and user experience. Results-driven Design Methodology: Convert strategy into a design with use cases, task flows, user personas, architecture, interaction design, low fidelity wireframes, etc. Visual Design & UI Engineering: Using emerging technologies to develop a secure, scalable, customized and adaptive user interface.
