First active anger management bracelet that determines the level of anger a person experiences by measuring the heart rate, blood pressure, and muscle tension and uses active cognitive mechanisms to prevent or stop anger outbursts.

CESSABIT
ANGER IMPACT
Anger is typically associated with hostile thoughts, physiological arousal, and maladaptive behaviors. Although unpleasant, it is perfectly normal to feel angry when you have been wronged or mistreated. However, when a person lacks the ability to control their anger, it is detrimental to that person and those around them, and this may cause any anger outburst to escalate into violence. These cases warrant treatment and anger management.
SOLUTION
Cessabit identifies anger episodes and uses active,
evidence-based cognitive distractions that help control anger
MONITORING BIOLOGICAL ANGER INDICATORS
HEARTRATE
Pulse can increase by up to 50bpm and
remain above 95 when the wearer is angry.
BLOOD PRESSURE
Both diastolic and systolic pressure
rise by around 12mm.
MUSCLE TENSION
As neuron transmission increases during the fight or flight response, muscles throughout the body tense up.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) has been found to be an effective, time-limited treatment for anger problems. Four types of CBT interventions, theoretically unified by principles of social learning theory, are most often used when treating anger management problems:
-
Relaxation training
-
Cognitive interventions
-
Communication skills interventions
Combined interventions
Importance of cognitive distractions
In a 2016 study published in the Journal of Applied Social Psychology, it was found that counting to ten prevents people from lashing out too harshly when there are obvious consequences for their actions done in anger because the delay gives time to take these consequences into account before choosing how to act. Ninety seconds is all it takes to identify an emotion and allow it to dissipate by simply noticing it.

FUNCTIONALITY
-
Cessabit pulls the patient’s attention away from the situation by initiating a distracting vibration on their wrist.
-
The device commences a cognitive distraction light sequence, during which 3-4 buttons light up and the user needs to memorize it and press the buttons in the order shown.
-
The Heart 7 “Spirit Gate” point is actively massaged. This point is used to calm the mind during anxiety, stress, and anger in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
