St. Louis Park-based HabitAware has been awarded a $224,795 grant from the National Science Foundation.
The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant will be used to design and test a new sensor for HabitAware’s wearable device aimed at curbing obsessive behaviors like skin picking, hair pulling, and nail biting.
At 17 years old, Aneela Idnani was struggling with the loss of her father. Over time, she developed a mental health condition known as Trichotillomania, a compulsion to unknowingly pull out one’s hair as a self-soothing mechanism.
