Elysium
Elysium is a product ecosystem designed to tackle and combat daily stress by stimulating over two of the user’s senses. Aimed at users aged 21-35, Elysium offers a holistic and user friendly solution for managing daily stress. A portable handheld device, The Pebble, aims to provide instant stress relief on-the-go through haptic, tactile and visual stimulation by utilising a vibration motor, heating element and LED array. The second element of the Elysium ecosystem, The Shrine, magnetically docks The Pebble and charges it via wireless Qi coils. The Shrine provides a more comprehensive destressing experience with olfactory, audio, and visual stimulation, featuring a built-in ultrasonic aromatherapy diffuser that users fill before longer destressing sessions. The Elysium app helps log stressful incidents, track user progress, and customise individual stimuli such as soundscapes/calming music, light patterns and light intensity, vibration, heat and aromatherapy. The app also provides access to a myriad of guides, articles, exercises, and an AI Therapist, which can be unlocked upon subscription to the premium Elysium+ scheme. Systems are available in three distinct colourways.
