Problem

Burnout is now an official medical condition. The syndrome stems from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. 75% - 80% of doctor visits in the United States are in some way related to stress. Stress related health care and missed work costs employers an additional $300 billion per year. With 36 million Americans working from home as of 2021, home and the workplace are more difficult to separate than ever. Out of those 36 million, 28 million are stressed at least once a week. Enter Zenpiece: the first ever intelligent diffuser that connects with your wearable to detect and react to your stress levels.

Solution

As of 2021, the stress management market is worth $8.8 billion and growing at $500 million per year. Zenpiece is a unique stress management solution that pairs with wearable devices like a smart watch, reaching 70 million people who use wearable devices. When your stress levels go up as recorded in the Zenpiece app, the diffuser will turn on and release a relaxing aroma throughout your home work space. Zenpiece's design adds to the soothing atmosphere it creates. With dual essential oil diffusers that use pure essential oils, Zenpiece is the first diffuser to be built from a single piece of hardwood and frosted acrylic. As no water tank and no heat is needed, zenpiece will transform your space with its soft halo of LED lights. Not everyone's stress management looks the same, so a single user will react differently to different aromas. Zenpiece tracks your response to aromas such as peppermint, orange zest, lavender and chamomile to diffuse the best one for you.
