Put the stress out of your life with Pip
Pip is a small sensor that helps you manage your stress and help you reduce it through small games.
RGP and stress
This little egg-shaped sensor aims to relax you. Indeed, thanks to its mode of operation, Pip can detect your stress. When you are under stress, your body will defend itself. The blood will then flow to the peripheral parts of your body (including the hands) which will cause sweating. This will change the conductivity of your skin and this reaction is called the Galvanic Skin Response (RGP). This is what the Pip detects, unlike Spire which is based on your breathing. Just take the sensor with your two fingers and it will recognize your stress level thanks to RGP and transmit this data to the application via Bluetooth.
Play and relax
And to reduce your stress and relax, you will have to use small games within an iOS or Android application. The more you relax and unwind, the more points you will score in the different games.
Relax & Race: You face another player in a race. The quieter you are, the faster you go and therefore the more likely you are to win. This game teaches you how to relax in a stressful environment. Indeed, this game puts you in competition, which normally induces stress. But since you have to relax to win, you will learn to relax in any situation.
The Loom: You are facing a landscape in the middle of winter. It's up to you to bring back summer. (Frozen inside!). For that, you have to relax. You will then see the snow melt and give way to a summer landscape. Music will accompany the change of season.
Lie Detective: play there the Mentalist or Lie to me! With an environment worthy of classic noir films, question your friends and find out the truth.
Eliminate stress
Another application will be reserved for the Quantified Self, Pip Stress Tracker, for record the progress of your stress and help you manage it and may even eliminate it entirely from your life.
Of course, this device adapts to any type of stress : daily, competition, before sleeping, chronic pain, addiction … The pip goes to everyone so stress is part of our everyday life.
On the practical side, it recharges via a USB cable and it has an autonomy of 8h. It will be yours for 179 €.
