The COVID-19 pandemic created a shift in our lives, with remote work, social isolation, and heightened stress levels becoming the new norm. In response to this mental health crisis, stress reduction and mindfulness meditation apps gained substantial popularity. Users turned to these apps for guided relaxation, breathing exercises, and meditation practices, helping them combat stress and uncertainty. Mental wellness apps also became channels for users to access licensed therapists and counselors, receiving professional support from the safety and convenience of their homes.
The surge in mental wellness apps underscored the importance of accessible and convenient mental health resources. This trend not only increased awareness of mental health issues but also contributed to the normalization of seeking help for emotional well-being. It laid the foundation for the development of more user-friendly and inclusive apps, personalized to cater to diverse needs. However, almost all apps focus on cognitive training and mindset adjustment, which in times of mental and emotional struggles are not easy to accomplish. Productivity is also not addressed directly.
Recess is at the forefront of a different strategy and addresses the lack of a fundamental, biological approach, thereby setting itself apart from competitors by its simplicity and ease of use.
Unlike many meditation apps and cognitive training programs, Recess has eliminated the need for users to invest time in learning and practicing specific techniques. With Recess, there is no learning curve. You don't need to understand complex mindfulness exercises, deep-breathing techniques, or cognitive training strategies. Bilateral stimulation, the core technology behind Recess, works on a biological neurological level, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of their prior experience or skill level.
Traditional meditation apps often require users to learn and practice meditation techniques, which can take time and effort to master. Recess, on the other hand, taps into bilateral stimulation, a method that works directly with the brain's neurological pathways. This means that Recess can deliver tangible benefits from the very first session. There's no need for users to spend weeks or months learning and practicing before experiencing the positive effects on productivity and mental fitness.
While meditation apps can offer a one-size-fits-all approach, Recess's use of Artifical Intelligence (AI) ensures that every user's experience is personalized and tailored to their unique needs. This level of customization sets Recess apart from its competitors, as it provides users with a more relevant and effective mental fitness and productivity enhancement journey.
Meditation and cognitive training apps often rely on user discipline and consistency to achieve results. Users must be diligent in setting aside time for their practice and maintaining it over time. Recess, with its engaging and interactive Artifical Reality (AR) experiences, is immediately captivating and provides quick results.
Recess is leveraging cutting-edge technologies to help users be the most efficient with their time as they increase their flow and therefore productivity.
We incorporated AI to analyze stress levels to be able to recommend the most effective Flow Session for each individual at each point in time. Our custom recommendation algorithm takes the stress levels, information that is collected during daily checkins (like productivity, how challenging upcoming goals are being rated), and the improvements from doing a Flow Session and returns a user’s areas of improvement.
But Recess's AI doesn't just personalize the user experience; it also provides valuable insights into progress. This data empowers each user to track and understand their journey into sustainable flow.
As technology keeps advancing Recess is constantly on the lookout to improve and find ways to get users even faster into flow state. Recess also invests heavily in research and development to stay up to date on the latest progress in the neuroscience field.
The future of productivity is bright, and Recess is helping to shape it. Our use of AI and AR not only addresses current challenges but also paves the way for a future where work, learning, and mental fitness are intrinsically linked.
Recess, with its unique mission to increase performance and mental fitness with neuro-technology, is at the forefront of this transformation. While challenges persist, Recess's potential to shape the future of productivity is undeniable, with far-reaching implications for various sectors.
