The Big Idea - “Sense”

The solution is combining the EEG system with the neuro-feedback medical therapy to allow people to have a balance between their mental and physical health. The system will be incorporated into fitness studios, because a training schedule is provided with a personal trainer and he/she can guide you through the training progress. The EEG headbands currently exist on the market; however they are designed for everyday use. The design tend be inconvenient for those who wear it on the streets and those who use it in a daily manner may also develop reliance to the device.

The mind gym which is a section within the fitness training program allows users to interact and learn about the new EEG technology, but also about them. The sleek ergonomic design presents a futuristic feel to its user capturing their attention, while the features of the mindreading technology will leave them in utter amazement. With the PSS system, the fitness studio membership fee will cover all the costs of maintenance and use of Sense. The data collected from each training session will be uploaded to the user’s personal fitness profile where the data is compiled into graphs and allow the user to see their progress. The reason to have the PSS set in a fitness studio is to allow users to have their mental status regularly monitored and enable them to share their progress and issues with Personal Trainers and other users. This will allow them to have a better, more motivational experience with the product and to allow for the information gathered by Sense to be properly evaluated instead of the data being wasted. The system targets people who are health conscious, workers and others that live in a very stressful lifestyle. The solution is to allow people to participate and find a sense of stress relief before it develops into mental illness.
