Problem

Exams put students under a lot of pressure, which frequently results in anxiety, restless nights, and subpar performance even with sufficient preparation. Stress has an impact on long-term mental health in addition to grades. Instead of preventing stress in the first place, existing coping mechanisms like counseling or meditation applications are used after it becomes too much to handle.

Gap in Current Solutions

The majority of student mental health resources are either too costly or too general (not designed for exam scenarios). Smartwatches and other wearable technology monitor physical activity, but they don't offer focused exam stress interventions. Affordable, student-focused technology that can identify stress in real time and offer quick coping mechanisms is conspicuously lacking.

Solution

• Students can wear a wearable band that measures stress markers like skin temperature, sweat, and heart rate variability. When stress levels rise, it links to a smartphone app that provides immediate feedback and soothing direction. Among the features are: Mild vibrations that remind pupils to breathe more slowly.
• During study sessions or tests, try some quick relaxation techniques or soothing music.
• information to help students monitor their stress levels over time.

Who Benefits

• Students for better stress management, increased focus, and improved exam performance.
• Parents: Rest easy knowing their kids are taken care of.
• Teachers and schools should be aware of students' stress patterns and work to create more wholesome learning environments

Why It Matters

I've witnessed numerous competent peers perform poorly, not because they were ignorant, but rather because their anxiety got the better of them. By enabling students to maintain composure and confidence, this solution guarantees that tests measure knowledge rather than stress tolerance. It may eventually spread from the classroom to the workplace, enabling stress management for all.
