breathing.ai
Breathing.ai uses web and phone cams with machine learning to detect heart rate and breathing patterns, and patent-based interfaces to adapt colors, fonts, etc. to the user's nervous system.
|
Breathing.ai improves users heart rate and breathing patterns by integrating biometric feedback data to inform the adaptive design of screens with colors, fonts, and shapes for a measurable reduction of stress levels for screen users.
Their initial studies have shown that randomly chosen colors and fonts induce different measurable responses from the body ranging from calming to accelerating the heart rate. Further, the colors and fonts that lowered their heart rate were, in fact, the fonts that they “liked” the most.
|
What's Innovative About Their Solution?
Breathing.ai is pioneering the integration of biometrics (more accurately called physiological computing) using existing hardware to personalize screen designs. Their 61-paged “Adaptive Interface for Screen-Based Interactions” US-patent from 2017 (last USPTO rejections successfully overcome in April 2019) gives them a sizeable competitive advantage for the US market.
