In today's fast-paced, mental well-being becomes a critical concern. The never-ending stream of information and the demands of our modern lives have made stress management and emotional balance essential. Yet, many people grapple with challenges like inconsistent mental state tracking, lack of effective reflection methods, and the absence of actionable insights.



Introducing "Calmi," an innovative stress tracking and management companion on your smartwatch and mobile phone. Calmi is committed to helping you gain a more profound understanding of your emotional triggers and offering effective strategies to manage and relieve stress.



**Features**



- Smart Tracking: For many, manually logging emotional states can be cumbersome. Calmi takes a two-pronged approach to tackle this issue. Firstly, it employs intelligent algorithms to calculate stress level by leveraging physical metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and resting heart rate continuously. Secondly, the app offers multiple input options, including voice AI input features, where an AI algorithm analyzes both the content and the tone of your voice to gauge your emotional and stress levels. These methods work in tandem to send you timely, context-sensitive prompts to log your emotional state, simplifying the tracking process and enhancing its accuracy.



- Mental Exercises: Users often seek a holistic approach to mental well-being but find limited options that are both effective and varied. Calmi addresses this by providing a range of mental exercises tailored to individual needs. Its standout feature is the structured reflection through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These CBT-guided exercises help you identify negative thought patterns that contribute to stress and anxiety, offering specific, actionable ways to counter them. The app also includes breathing techniques, meditation, and yoga for a comprehensive mental wellness routine.



- Actionable Insights: Beyond just accumulating data, Calmi leverages advanced analytics to offer meaningful, actionable insights. Daily summaries highlight your stress triggers and recurring thought patterns, and the app provides personalized recommendations based on this analysis. Longitudinal data also allows you to track your progress over time, ensuring a consistent path towards improved mental well-being.
