Description
Abstract
Many students experience schoolwork induced anxiety which harms their academic performance. Furthermore, students who suffer from clinical anxiety often forget when to utilize their therapeutic techniques. Our project gives encouragement to those students who need motivation during schoolwork and reminds students to use previously learned calming techniques.
“Pen”couragement is a pen equipped with a pulse sensor that detects the stress level of the students. As the heart rate rises, a motivating message appears on an OLED screen on the side of the pen. This encourages students to calmly focus on completing their schoolwork and increases their academic performance, while helping them develop the crucial skill of stress management.
