The challenge
Thea wanted to reimagine emotional wellness by merging ancient sound healing practices with modern wearable technology. To fully realize their vision and secure further funding, they needed to quickly build a companion app that could translate smart ring data into emotional insights and create personalized sound healings to guide users back to a desired emotional state.
