Do you have any ideas for a potential solution? No matter how raw, share them with your Mentors for feedback.

We want to create a watch that detects your heart rate going up and detects if you are about to have a panic attack/ anxiety attack. It will also shuffle through positive and motivational quotes throughout the day. To create a safe space for everyone in each county, that would be free access.
