Habitaware is a company that makes wearable technology designed to help people with body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs) by bringing awareness to these habits and helping users retrain their brains to break the habit loop. The company's flagship product is the Keen bracelet, which uses motion detection technology and personalized gesture detection to alert users to subconscious hair pulling, skin picking, nail biting, and other unwanted behaviors.
Habitaware was founded by Aneela Idnani and Sameer Kumar in 2016 after Idnani struggled with hair pulling for over 20 years and sought a solution to help break the habit.
The company launched a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2017, raising over $259,000 to bring the Keen bracelet to market.
Since then, Habitaware has been featured in numerous publications, including The New York Times, Forbes, and USA Today, and has won several awards for its innovative technology.
