UX DESIGN

How we compute the world around us through our thoughts and feelings has a direct affect on how we navigate and perceive it. With that we seek to help overthinkers reframe their thought process through guided introspection that ties directly into one's emotional wellbeing while building an understanding on the effect of ones thoughts.

the problem

Overthinkers dwell on pre-conceived negative perceptions that reinforce unwanted  behaviors.

the solution

Guiding Thoughts and Emotions

Sessions allow you to work through your thoughts, one at a time. Using conversational UI, you are guided through ideas to reframe them. Questions are intelligently generated through a combination of your vocal responses and the emotions you feel while answering.

A Chance to Reflect

After you complete a Session, the Stone showcases a visualization of the emotions you felt throughout the Session and the questions/responses that triggered them. Each emotion is tied to a color, educating the user of what emotions are tied to what thoughts.

An Intelligent Array of Sensors

Ponder Stone uses a variety of sensors that measure things such as your heart rate, sweat composition, and skin temperature to allow us to understand your feelings during each session. Sensors are placed on the bottom so the Ponder Stone can read these different data points as you hold the Stone through a session.

Understand Your Emotional Wellbeing

With our paired app, a complete emotional profile is built around you and becomes more abundant with information as you complete more Sessions. This allows for a deep understanding of how you feel.

See Your Growth and Journey

Dive into each emotion and track how feelings fluctuate based on day, time, and even weather. This allows you to reflect and dive deep into why you feel specific ways.

More Ways to Help

Ponder does more than work with your thoughts but also offers intuitive exercises for your emotions, a way to quickly express your thoughts no matter where you are, and the opportunity to plug your therapist into our platform for them to get updates on your emotional wellbeing to offer better care.
