Nudge is a smart wristband to help you stop touching your face, which is incredibly hard to do but one of the main sources of the spread of infectious diseases, such as Covid 19. Nudge can also help people with body focused repetitive behaviours such as skin picking, hair pulling and nail biting, by helping people keep their hands away from their head and face as much as possible. Nudge uses artificial intelligence, including gesture recognition technology and neural network programming to detect when you move your hand towards your face, and then alerts you with a subtle vibration. The band has an LED system that lights up to count the number of times that's happened.We've taught Nudge to recognise over 1,000 hand and arm gestures, so it should always know where your hand is in relation to your face or if you're just waving at the neighbours.And as smart as nudge is, we love the fact that it works straight out of the box, no need to calibrate it or hook it up to an app. As soon as nudge arrives, it can be charged up, and users pop it straight on their wrist to start their training sessions.Research has shown that by being made aware of each time you are touching your face, you can very quickly reduce the number of times this is happening. So we've based the design on nudge theory, the bands namesake, that by giving you that subtle prod each time you do touch your face, you're quickly much more aware, and over time you can train your brain to keep your hands away from your face.
