The Reflect Orb combines wellness and technology. It has biofeedback sensors where you can place your fingertips for the device to determine how you're feeling by changing colors. For example, the Reflect Orb will turn purple if you're stressed. If you're calm, it will turn white. Reflect's CEO, Noga Sapir, explained to TechCrunch that the biofeedback sensors measure heart rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity (EDA). She noted, "Both change in response to stress, and the idea behind biofeedback is that we show you a dynamic, constant feed of what's going on." Sapir went on to say why this innovation works: "We give you the tools to first be aware of what your body is going through, and then to influence it in a way that will calm you."
Using the Reflect Orb is simple. When you get your device, you need to download the Reflect: Meditate & Relax app and connect the orb to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. From there, you can choose a guided meditation from the app or meditate on your own while you hold the Reflect Orb. The changing colors will indicate your state of mind. When you're done, the app will download your data, where you can see how long it took you to get calm and how long you felt calm. In other words, the Reflect Orb's lights allow you to see in real-time what works and what doesn't work for you while you meditate. This can include breathing techniques and more.
