Overview
Inhale is a comprehensive breathing and meditation application that builds upon the foundation of Calm Pulse. The platform offers guided sessions with customizable breathing techniques tailored to specific user needs such as focus, relaxation, and sleep improvement. Featuring techniques like Box Breathing and 4-7-8, Inhale enhances the meditation experience with haptic feedback synchronized to breathing patterns, allowing users to practice with their eyes closed. The app incorporates engagement features like daily streaks and point rewards for completed sessions, while also supporting local artists by integrating their focus tracks into the meditation experience.
Objective
Our primary objective was to create an accessible, feature-rich breathing and meditation platform that could serve users across various needs and preferences. The solution needed to provide personalized experiences while maintaining ease of use, with techniques specifically designed for different mental states. Each feature was crafted to enhance user engagement, promote consistent practice, and deliver tangible benefits for mental wellbeing through guided breathing exercises.
Process
Development began by expanding on the foundation of the Calm Pulse app, enhancing its core functionality with additional features. We focused on implementing customizable breathing techniques tailored to specific wellness goals, creating an intuitive interface for session guidance. The team incorporated haptic feedback technology to allow for eyes-closed practice, significantly enhancing the immersion of the breathing experience. We integrated mood tracking capabilities and personalized recommendations based on user history, along with motivation-enhancing features like daily streaks and completion points. Throughout the HackNYU event, team members Vighanesh Gaund and Adam Soliman contributed significantly to evolving the application, refining the user experience based on feedback and testing. The collaboration resulted in a functional prototype demonstrating the app's core capabilities.
Impact
Inhale addresses the growing need for accessible mental wellness tools by providing guided breathing techniques that can be practiced anywhere, anytime. The application empowers users to incorporate effective stress-management practices into their daily routines, potentially improving focus, relaxation, and sleep quality. By including features that encourage consistent practice through streaks and rewards, Inhale helps users develop sustainable wellness habits. The incorporation of local artists' focus tracks creates connections within the community while supporting creators. The haptic feedback innovation allows for truly immersive practice sessions, differentiating Inhale in the wellness app marketplace and making mindfulness more accessible to users seeking stress relief in their busy lives.
