CHICAGO, Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — breathe with b will be launching its first device, b, on Kickstarter next month. The smart, pocket-sized device has been developed to improve focus and lower stress through mindful breathing. The company says its mission to make the world a more mindful place by using technology in a way that helps us switch our attention from screens and devices to our personal well-being.
The b device plans to ship with LED lights, Bluetooth connectivity, a pressure sensor and other hardware components that allow users to visualize their breathing data and practice mindful breathing routines whenever and wherever they’d like. This unique combination of intelligent hardware and engaging software allows b to guide users to become more mindful and focused within just a few minutes. “We analyze users breathing data and suggest specific routines to help improve their breathing habits, which in turn helps improve their lives,” says Eric Chesbrough, the company’s founder and software engineer, who came up with the idea for the device while breathing in and out of a pen cap at work.
CNN states, “The average American spends nearly half a day staring at a screen.” However, a mindful breathing practice has been shown to reduce stress, strengthen the immune system and even add years to your life.
Mindfulness has also been shown to improve concentration, encourage a healthier lifestyle and increase happiness. As breathe with b‘s founder states in their newly launched Kickstarter video, “We take over 22,000 breaths every single day, yet we do it so subconsciously sometimes we forget what’s right under our nose — a powerful stress reliever programmed in each and every one of us.” He later goes on to tell us, “Every moment is one to cherish and engage with, there’s beauty right in front of us, every second, we just have to be present enough to notice.”
Eric and the breathe with b team are not alone in their quest. The device is coming to market at a time when many respected product designers and thought leaders are calling for an Urge for Mindfulness.
