A New Tool to Overcome Skin and Hair Picking Disorders


1/10/2018 Marie Flounoy

Keen (by HabitAware) is a smart bracelet that helps people like its founder, Aneela Kumar, take control of unwanted behaviors like hair pulling, skin picking, and nail biting. These mental health disorders are collectively known as body focused repetitive behaviors and negatively impact the lives of 30 Million Americans. 

I was a hair puller for 20+ years,” says Kumar. “It began as a coping mechanism for my father’s battle with cancer. Until my husband caught me without eyebrows and we set out on a journey to make something that made me aware: Keen.”
