Mindfulness meditation can help reduce pain, but learning to meditate requires an experienced facilitator.

How can we increase access to mindfulness meditation so that it can be more widely used as a clinical intervention?

We hope to fabricate a wearable, epidermal patch capable of detecting a user’s mindfulness state and responding when changes are observed. This '“facilitator in the pocket” can help promote self-practice and provide real-time feedback to novice practitioners.
