Many schools have restrictions about technology and smart watches. If your child needs special permission, here's a letter to share with the administrators.
To Whom It May Concern:
HabitAware's Keen2 smart bracelet is a wearable awareness tool designed to help people manage repetitive movements and behaviors. People who engage in repetitive behaviors often do so with low in-the-moment awareness, making it difficult for them to use alternative, healthier strategies.
The Keen2 uses motion-sensing technology to recognize an individual's specific, repetitive movement patterns. When the bracelet detects that movement, it vibrates, alerting the wearer that the movement may be occurring. The wearer is then able to pause, recognize what they are doing, and replace their behavior using alternative behavioral strategies.
What the Keen2 Does
-
Detects a programmed movement pattern using motion sensors.
-
Provides a discreet vibration when the programmed movement is detected.
-
Allows the wearer to use this awareness cue to pause and redirect their behavior.
-
Operates without requiring the wearer to interact with a phone or other device when receiving an awareness cue.
What the Keen2 Does Not Do
The Keen2 bracelet is not a phone, smartwatch, or general-purpose communication device. It:
-
Does not make or receive phone calls.
-
Does not send or receive text messages.
-
Does not provide access to email, social media, or messaging applications.
-
Does not provide internet or web access.
-
Does not function as a camera or microphone for recording conversations.
-
Does not provide entertainment or gaming functions.
Because the Keen2's functionality is focused on detecting a programmed movement and providing a vibration, it differs meaningfully from electronic devices intended for communication, entertainment, or general-purpose use.
We hope this information is helpful in understanding the purpose and functionality of the HabitAware Keen2. Please feel free to contact HabitAware with any questions about the device.
Sincerely,
The HabitAware team
