Vimi
Creating mindful & healthy habits.
The future that transforms the approach of individual biometrics to engage the body towards mental mindfulness.
WHAT IS VIMI?
Vimi is a proof-of-concept project that Elley Ellison and myself created. We combine the technology of tracking individual biometrics, with the traditional Chinese technique of acupressure. This allows you to have a direct emotional and physical impact on your overall health.

HOW IT WORKS?
Acupressure Points
Vimi utilizes the inner fronteir, or Nei Guan (P6), pressure point. The Vimi bracelet provides sensory input and an alert to your app to remind you to utilize your pressure point.
Applying downward pressure and stimulating the pressure point for 4-6 seconds communicates with the nervous system to stimulate feel-good chemicals

Project Case Study
Vimi was a year-long project that was built by myself and my teammate Elley Ellison. This project held a special place in both our hearts as we empathized heavily with our users and the struggles of mental health. We leveraged our compassion to help make a more informed product.
Process
Our process had five steps, each with its own responsibilities. Though we both worked together closely, we divvied up responsibilities
