Product snapshot
Slightly Robot is a habit-breaking app paired with a wearable bracelet that helps curb repetitive behaviors like nail-biting and hair-pulling. Created by Joseph Toles, the system links the smartphone app to a wrist-worn device over Bluetooth and gently nudges users when unwanted hand movements are detected.
How the system operates
The bracelet is worn on the wrist and communicates with the phone app via Bluetooth. Motion sensors track hand activity and the software identifies patterns associated with target habits. When an occurrence is registered, the bracelet issues a subtle vibration to remind the wearer to stop the action without drawing attention.
