Calm Zone
Calm Zone is an app designed to work with wearable devices like smart bands and smartwatches, to monitor and track the user’s heart rate in real-time. When the app detects an elevated heart rate it sends a pop-up notification, encouraging you to take a moment for yourself - to pause and engage in a calming session to regain your mental balance. The app offers a range of relaxation techniques, such as guided meditation, soothing ambient sounds, breathing exercises, or even simple practices like counting to 10. All of these are aimed at reducing stress whenever needed.

Problems
• STRESS MANAGEMENT:
Psychological studies have repeatedly shown that chronic stress has a huge impact on mental health. It often comes with an elevated heart rate, and if left unchecked, it can lead to anxiety, brain fog, and a decline in overall well-being. That's where the app steps in - by detecting those early signs of stress through a spike in your heart rate, it can help you tackle it before it rises.

• EMOTIONAL REGULATION:
Research shows a link between heart rate variability (HRV) and how well we manage our emotions. By encouraging users to try calming activities when their heart rate spikes, the app helps improve emotional balance and gives users a greater sense of control over their mental well-being.
