The Challenge
How do we help people come out of stress, especially from the pandemic?
Young adults are facing stress caused by feelings of loneliness and isolation, which often makes it difficult for them to express their emotions to others for various reasons. With the added unpredictability of Covid-19 development and public health concerns, this situation has become even more challenging.
While there are several applications designed to address this issue, they tend to be too distracting, noisy, and time-consuming. Therefore, we embarked on a quest to discover a new approach to fostering silence and companionship in the midst of a global pandemic.
