Week 10: Implications and applications

As mentioned on my landing page, for my final project, I would like to create a wearable chest belt for people who have trouble with anxiety and controlling their breathing during anxiety provoking situations. I would like to include sensors that detect the breathing rate and when the rate increases and reaches a threshold - this would set off the inflation and deflation of the chest belt to simulate slow and deep breathing. The idea is that this contraction and expansion would guide the user into the same, slow and deep breathing - thus calming down the user.

Below, I have set out a persona of someone I envisage using my product, and below that, the customer journey that I imagine this persona taking when using my product.
