3. Train Keen Accurately

An accurate gesture recording is key for accurate detection and awareness training! Our scanning motions for hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania) & nail biting (onychophagia) are often so different.

Use the app to record YOUR individual gesture onto Keen or Keen2. Check our Setup page for a full guide to learn how Keen and Keen2 use your wrist angle, position, motion and speed to recognize your consistent, repetitive movement.

4. Pause, Reflect and Replace the Behavior

Keen's vibration is a "hug" on the wrist, reminding you that your hands are not where you want them to be. Keen's vibration is also your "self care alarm," your permission to pause for a moment of self care and practice replacing your unwanted behavior with healthier coping strategies.

5. Retrain Your Brain

You can make progress with Keen's awareness training practice and unleash the power within to take control. Reclaim your time and energy to go after your dreams!

"I'm so grateful this product exists. I… think about the buzz as an expression of love and not as "stop it!”. My coaching call was great, too."
- Melissa C.

"I love the Keen2 bracelet… it gave me more insight into when I scan and how it is very subconscious at times… Amazing coach for the Peer Coaching, too... I can't say enough about how she literally changed my day and gave me hope to manage my condition."
- Allison D.

"On top of it being an amazing, and literally life changing device, the company is amazing… Keen has given [my son] the awareness, and it does it very well."
– Clinton Kalrinsey
