Problems: 45% of teenagers are still nails biters. ⅓ of adults are suffering from body-focused repetitive behavior, causing impulsive actions of nail and lip biting. These impulses can be caused by anxiety, nervousness, and sometimes even boredom. Over time, these impulses develop into habits, which are difficult to break.
Solution: Since habits are easier to be replaced than broken, Ting is a digital application aimed for adults that enjoy innovations and new technology, currently looking for a way to overcome body-focused impulsive habits. Ting provides different positive reinforcement activities to help battle these impulses, create goals and motivations to overcome bad habits, and track your mood to provide data for more accurate use. With the rise of wearable devices that can be connected with your phone and focusing on health, Ting can also connect to smartwatches which are located right on the wrist to monitor heartbeat, making it more practical and convenient to use, thus helping your journey more efficiently.
