The PIP: A Biosensor that Helps You Relax Through Play. by Galvanic The PIP is a revolutionary biosensor that helps you really learn to relax, improve your performance in any aspect of your life and combat stress. Available for both iOS and Android, the PIP detects whether you are stressing or relaxing in real time. The PIP achieves this through biofeedback which is a process where the user learns to control an aspect of their physiology that they are not usually aware of. By providing continuous information on whether or not they are “doing the right thing”, the user evolves a personal strategy that produces the desired result. We’ve made the PIP super-easy to use. In today’s fast-paced world, the PIP is designed to suit your lifestyle – highly portable, easy to use and above all, fun. We’ve been lucky enough to get suggestions from our backers about how they might use the PIP in new and interesting ways.
