Lief Wearable to Help Fight Stress
From: Medical Design Technology - 01/09/2017

Lief, a San Francisco-based startup, has been recognized as one of the top
crowdfunding wearable projects to watch. The innovative stress patch can
track and optimize a user’s resiliency to stress by increasing their natural
heart rate variability (HRV) and help guide a user back to their heart’s
restorative rhythm. This week, the Lief Therapeutics team will be heading to
Las Vegas to debut Lief at CES 2017.

"Stress can have a devastating long-term effect on our health and
productivity," Lief Therapeutics Co-Founder Rohan Dixit said. "With Lief,
users can actually manage their stress as it's happening and better
understand their heart rates and breathing patterns. Eventually, users should
be able to pinpoint their triggers and use Lief to calm down."

Perhaps one of the most intriguing features is Lief’s overall design. The patch
is soft, flexible, and sports an adhesive backing, which means users simply
place the Lief on their chest in the morning and go about their day. Whenever a
wave of stress hits, Lief will emit quiet vibrations to help guide a restorative
and healthy heart rate and breathing pattern. After a three minute exercise, a
user can improve their natural stress response and ability to continue with their
day. With Lief, there are no screens necessary.
