moonbird

Happy to find out that we were (for a second year in a row 🙌) selected by WIRED as one of the best sleep gadgets 😴. Thank you Simon Hill for this! Also this week, we read in CNET about a relatively new condition called 'orthosomnia'. You suffer from orthosomnia when you become obsessed with your sleep data. Sounds familiar? Taylor Leamey shares three tips: 1. establish boundaries around how you'll interact with your sleep data and phone throughout the day 2. add relaxing activities to your nightly routine 3. use technology for good; deep breathing tools like moonbird can also help you focus on relaxation 😴 👉 https://lnkd.in/emzFdtNj 👉 https://lnkd.in/eHeKPgtP

Shannon Ullman just wrote a product review of our moonbird device in Forbes 😍 The verdict? "Anyone who struggles with sitting still and breathing, like me, knows that meditation apps and YouTube videos are cheap and easy, but they don’t always work. Having something in my hand that’s keeping me on track with my breathing is much more effective." And "it was definitely more effective than a meditation app and a whole lot cheaper than an in-person meditation coach" Check the full review out for yourself here: https://lnkd.in/em6ErSDh Thank you Shannon Ullman 👏

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our latest study, conducted in collaboration with FARESA, on integrating the moonbird breath pacer with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). The study assessed the impact of a tactile breath pacer coaching breathing techniques and relaxation skills, which, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may help living with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more. Participants used the moonbird device over a month, incorporating it into their daily routines with guidance from their therapist at Faresa. Participants experienced enhanced relaxation, improved sleep quality, and better emotion regulation. The moonbird was praised for its user-friendliness and effectiveness in blending digital and personal care. These findings highlight the potential for therapists and people worldwide to use the moonbird to promote relaxation or manage stress. This study was made possible through our partnership with Faresa, leveraging their expertise in CBT to explore innovative techniques. Moonbird is intended to be a general wellness product, and aims to promote relaxation or manage stress. 🔎 https://lnkd.in/eG2-smGA FARESA Veerle Ross Nele Jacobs Eva Pleumeekers Elisabeth Honinx Stefanie Broes

We're thrilled to announce our feature in TechCrunch by Haje Kamps 🤩 "The bird-looking device is super simple to use: Give it a shake, place your thumb on the sensor and the palm-sized device starts whirring gently as it expands in size, then shrinks back down. Use the “breathing” plastic bird to pace your own breathing, and your body gets tricked into thinking that everything is copacetic in the world. It really seems like it shouldn’t work, but it does." https://lnkd.in/ejhT8ZgQ #moonbird #mentalwellbeing #healthtech #innovation #TechCrunch

We're thrilled to share how the doctors at New Vision Oogpraktijk are integrating moonbird into their practice, especially for procedures under local anesthesia. Read all about it in our interview with Dr. Patricia Casaer 👀 How do you introduce moonbird to your patients? Dr. Casaer: “For cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange, if patients express anxiety, we introduce them to moonbird. It's a game-changer, offering a calming experience weeks before the operation.” What happens on operation day? “Upon arrival, we assess patients’ stress levels. They can choose between moonbird or medication for relaxation if needed. We've set up information boards about moonbird in the intake room and the waiting area, so everyone knows it's an option. If they choose moonbird, it becomes their companion in the preoperative waiting area for about 30-45 minutes before surgery. The device even accompanies them into the operating room, offering peace and focus during the 15-20 minute procedure.” What is your experience with moonbird?  “Moonbird has been a part of our practice for years, and I believe there's even more potential in its application than we're currently tapping into. I always mention it during consultations and note it in patient files.” How do you plan to use moonbird in the future? Dr. Casaer: “We're looking into the percentage of patients who prefer moonbird over medication, their age groups, and comparing the experiences of patients having one eye treated with and one without moonbird. This innovative approach requires a bit of extra time and explanation, but the positive impact on patient comfort is well worth it!" 🌙 #Moonbird #NewVisionOogpraktijk #InnovationInHealthcare #PatientComfort #EyeSurgery #BreathingTherapy #HealthTech #MindfulBreathing
