Thea
Delivering an AI companion app
The challenge
Thea wanted to reimagine emotional wellness by merging ancient sound-healing practices with modern wearable technology. To fully realize their vision and secure further funding, they needed to quickly build a companion app that could translate smart-ring data into emotional insights and create personalized sound healings to guide users back to a desired emotional state.
- Entering the smart wearables market with a unique value proposition
- Transforming complex emotional-health science into useful consumer features
- Creating personalized sound therapies based on real-time emotional data
- Building a polished platform in just 12 weeks to debut at CES
The solution
We partnered with Thea's hardware team to develop a companion app that captures users' voice input, analyzes biometric data from the Thea smart ring, detects emotional states, and creates personalized sound healing, breathwork, and meditation experiences to help users rebalance to a desired emotional state.
- Creating a seamless experience between the Thea ring and app
- Building a proprietary AI-driven sound compilation engine
- Delivering a personalized, premium user experience
- Creating a foundation for continuous improvement through user feedback
The results
In just 12 weeks, we helped Thea launch a first-of-its-kind wearable wellness platform at CES and secure an additional $3M in funding.
- Strong funding interest from major venture capital firms
- Media coverage and attention from leading tech publications
- Buying interest from multinational retailers
- A flexible, scalable architecture that set the stage for future innovation
