Gamification is known to be effective in developing positive habits when it comes to health and personal development. PIP (Personal Input Pod), which having recently reached funding target on Kickstarter, is doing just that with the help of a revolutionary biosensor and purposefully designed games.

With ingenious usage of galvanic plates to detect moisture and heat – high levels of which indicate stress or discomfort – PIP relays the data to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth in real time. Acting as a controller for an array of games and challenges, users can see the effect their stress levels have on the characters.

PIP is super-easy to use. Holding it between you fingertips will communicate your stress level wirelessly to a game or app running on your device. With three engaging games available and more in development, PIP offers an engaging way to visualise your relaxation and master stress in a fun and beneficial way.
