Everyone forgets to take a breath sometimes.
Puffer is a portable, handheld device that uses tactile movements to create a calming feeling for people struggling with anxiety. Our pufferfish-shaped companion expands and contracts in your grasp, a proven way to guide healing patterns of inhales and exhales. Puffer will make breathing a new, intimate experience, not just another staring contest with a dot tracing a circle on your watch or phone.
We, the Puffer team, dedicated ourselves to fully understanding the relationship between breathing and stress. Puffer’s design incorporates the suggestions of psychologists. The device will be especially effective for people with mild levels of anxiety and those who have begun to experience intrusive thoughts.
Your Puffer wakes up with just one simple squeeze. The air pumps inside the device start to inflate and deflate to a set rhythm, leading you through a series of breaths that can help you collect your thoughts, keep your focus, and give you that little bit of energy needed to kickstart your day. When paired with the companion app via Bluetooth, your Puffer can download more than 10 different breathing modules. You can freely set one as the default, which will activate with the next squeeze.
Each Puffer is priced at $49.99. We plan to enter the market by selling Puffer directly on our website. Starting from the second year of operation, we will sell products via Amazon and later increase our offline brand presence by shelving products in museum and aquarium gift stores.
We believe Puffer will shake up the field of consumer-centric wellness solutions by demonstrating the potential in marrying physicality and touch with simple wellness exercises. Puffer excels in viability and feasibility, and it enters the market at an opportune moment when the perceived value of mental health is on a steady rise.
