Skin Guardian Wearable for Skin-Picking
This project presents a wearable device paired with a companion app designed to monitor and alert users to potential skin-picking behaviors. Using sensor-based monitoring and real-time feedback, the system detects characteristic patterns of compulsive skin picking and delivers real-time feedback to gently interrupt habitual behaviors. By offering a discreet and supportive intervention, the project empowers individuals to build awareness, foster mindfulness, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
