The FocusCalm app is centered around the FocusCalm Score, a real-time measurement of a user’s stress levels on a scale from 0 to 100. Playing games on the app reinforces the brain’s ability to enter a state of relaxation as well as strengthening brain functions including memory, attention span, and decision making. The FocusCalm app tracks brain progress in three dimensions: depth, consistency, and speed. Depth is how relaxed the brain is, consistency is how well the user can stay in a calm state, and speed is how quickly the user can enter a calm state. Time spent in a calm brain state is also tracked so users can notice improvements.
According to the American Psychological Association, three out of four Americans report feeling at least one stress symptom from month-to-month. The negative mental health effects of the coronavirus, stemming from stress over health, work, family, and more, will likely be serious and long-lasting. FocusCalm helps users identify what stress feels like and teaches them how to reduce it at will, train their brain to achieve a state of calm – whether they’re getting ready for bed, preparing for the day ahead or seeking immediate relief.
