Strokes
Strokes is a wearable tool crafted to alleviate anxiety. The stylus, cleverly disguised as a watch gear, allows users to scratch each segment based on their level of anxiety that hour. The device includes a chart for progress tracking. At day's end, users pin up their daily scratch pad, uncovering patterns to grasp the underlying causes of their anxiety. Strokes provides instant anxiety relief through scratching, while also offering the opportunity for long-term recovery through its tracking capabilities.
