Meditation & Mindfulness GROUP IT
Mindfulness and Meditation Apps There are many apps that help people meditate such as headspace, calm and mindbody
Our Idea However, there is not many apps that focus on allowing people to meditate together with others at the same time.
Our Idea Our app will allow people to meditate with others, even if they are not in the same room together.
Our Idea 1. You would create an account 2. Your account can be linked with your friend/partner 3. Then we connect the two to complete a meditation session
For Who? • Technology and Globalization – meeting online 3 rd most likely way of starting a heterosexual relationship • Young Couples (Lenhart & Duggan, 2014) • Not limited to romance
Why? • Meditation can help deal with chronic pain, anxiety, stress, improve heart health, boost mood and more e. g. Hospital patients • Doing it with a partner has multiple benefits üIt can help you develop it as a habit - compare your hours you have meditated with your friend (competitiveness) üConnect you with your partner - increased common humanity and decreased isolation üSaves time and money
Next Steps • Do more research - Florencia (design and prototype) -Raanah (long distance relationships) -Finn (biofeedback) -Glen ( benefits of group meditation)
