FOCI
FOCI is a thumb-sized wearable, clipping to the waist, it would be able to track emotional changes during work and help us focus better. You are focused when devoting your full attention to the task at hand. Being focused has several benefits: it means that you are able to better plan and control distractions that come in your way, and you become more confident in achieving your goals. When you maintain a focused state for longer than 15 min, you may enter a ‘flow’ state, which is also known as ‘in the zone’. At this stage, you are fully immersed in your work, and this intense focus will enable you to deploy knowledge and memories from your subconscious more effectively. Over the long run, your productivity will improve, and your ability to learn will heighten. FOCI knows that you are focused, or even in a flow state, and shows it with a yellow orb. When you see this, it means that you are being very productive, and you should keep the current state for as long as possible. It has been used by Cambridge students for their exam prep, 15k+ crowdfunding backers, and named ‘Top tech for the go-anywhere office’ by Financial Times. Find it on the FOCI website
