The HeartStay service has deeply understood the immense psychological stress that modern young people face while accompanying loved ones in the hospital. To effectively alleviate this stress, we have cleverly integrated religious elements with scientific psychological therapies, creating a unique psychological comfort service.

In product design, HeartStay emphasizes not only functionality but also emotional and spiritual resonance. Our carefully crafted bracelet is not only stylish in appearance but also helps users find inner peace through the repetitive action of simulating bead rotation, effectively easing tension and anxiety. Additionally, the bracelet features an embedded smart tracker that continuously monitors the user's psychological stress data, providing valuable support for subsequent professional psychological assessments.

In addition to the bracelet, we have specially designed a complementary seat. Placed in hospital stairwells, this seat, styled like a traditional Buddhist meditation cushion, offers users a tranquil space to rest. When a user sits down, warm light on the seat automatically illuminates, brightening every corner of the darkness and providing a sense of calm and comfort.

To further enhance the immersive experience, the HeartStay service employs sensory devices to mimic the unique feel of religious practices. Whether waiting in line or strolling through the stairwell, users experience an ethereal atmosphere as if they are in a sacred and serene world.

Moreover, the HeartStay service places high importance on environmental protection and sustainability. We use eco-friendly materials such as ash, gelatin, and wood chips to manufacture our products, which not only reduces costs but also promotes resource recycling. This commitment to environmental consciousness is reflected not only in our product design but also throughout our entire service.
