Sometimes wearable headband device by studio beyond<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Studio Beyond conceives Sometimes, a <\/span>wearable<\/a> headband<\/a> device that sends electrical signals to the wearer in hopes of lowering people\u2019s stress. A smart, non-invasive tool, the piece, a similar shape to a fitness tracker or smart band, fits around the head and allows direct contact with the skin. Electrodes on the surface of the <\/span>device<\/a> send gentle electrical pulses, and these pulses target the nervous system, which may help to lower stress or balance mood. The Cambridge-based studio led by designers Paul Gibson and Matt Maitland says that the device\u2019s process draws from the research that shows how electrical signals can influence brain activity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an elastic band around Sometimes to adjust to and fit the wearer\u2019s head, and it comes with a slider or clasp mechanism at the back for a snug and custom fit. Around the band, modules are attached to the headband, positioned on either side of the head, likely over the temples or forehead regions. These are the main functional components housing the electronics that send the electrical signals. The surface of these pods appears smooth and matte, an even surface for comfort during long-time use. On one of the electrode pods, a small, subtle white indicator light is visible, which can indicate the device\u2019s power status, activity, or battery level. Adjacent to the indicator light, the possibly touch-sensitive power button lies to activate or turn off the wearable headband device.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sensors inside neurotech tool send electrical signals<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sometimes wearable headband device includes sensors and a small processor within it. These components send and control the electrical signals, which are carefully measured and adjusted to stay within safe limits to make sure that the user doesn\u2019t feel pain or discomfort. Studio Beyond creates the tool as such so that there\u2019s no surgery or medical training required to use it. The <\/span>team<\/a> adds it can be worn daily, depending on the user\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The team designs Sometimes with user experience in mind, as they want it to look and feel like a regular wearable product. There may be a stigma on people wearing medical devices, so the studio wants to curate and create a look that is already familiar to many people, which can help people stay committed to using the device over time. In the past, medical devices were used mostly in hospitals or clinics. Now, with wearable technology and headband devices like Sometimes, people can access treatment or support at home. So far, the project is still a concept.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
