How it works

How ProActive works

The vest monitors the wearer throughout the day and only applies pressure when it’s needed.

01

Monitor

Sensors in contact with the skin track biometric signals linked to rising stress.

02

Relief

When stress rises, a built-in compressor fills air bladders inside the vest, applying firm, even pressure similar to a hug.

03

Tracking

The vest stays inflated until readings return to baseline or the wearer turns it off, then deflates gradually.

Design

What makes ProActive different

Four design decisions set ProActive apart from weighted and compression vests.

  • Responsive

    Pressure only when it’s needed

    Weighted and compression vests apply the same pressure all day. ProActive inflates when it detects rising stress and deflates once readings return to baseline.

  • Materials

    Made for sensitive skin

    Soft, skin-friendly materials, chosen with hypersensitive users in mind.

  • Placement

    Placed to feel like a hug

    The air bladders are positioned around the torso to recreate the feeling of being hugged.

  • Caretakers

    Updates for caretakers

    Caretakers receive notifications when they’re relevant, which helps reduce caregiver stress.
