Stress is a situation in which we're impatient and absent minded. It's an unlikely moment for using apps. There for, the key for success is simplicity.
Anger management works in 3 aspects:
Anxiety & stress
self soothing app
ChillApp
Physical
(sweat, shivering)
Deep breath, guided imagery
and muscle relaxation.
Cognitive
(inattention, judgement)
Positive thinking and anger
soothing actions.
Behaviour
(aggressiveness, verbal violence)
Disconnecting contact.
The challenge
The purpose
Indicating and neutralizing stress in real time
by simple means.
A secondary purpose would be preventing
or reducing future stress by gathering data and drawing conclusions.
Wireframing
1. Indication. A wrist device responds to changes of heart pulse and sends notifications.
Stress level is indicated by colours (all along the app) and numbers (in home page):
2. Action. The main menu leads to actions, from light to heavy.
Choosing a relaxing background sound
(cognitive)
Deep breathing
countdown (physical)
Guided imagery
(physical)
Editable actions outside the app (physical, cognitive, behaviour)
3. Prevention. Analysing events which provoked stress and actions which reduced it (based on calendar, location & app actions).
