The devices we use every day, like our phone and TV, can play an important role in our lives. But what if the tech we owned and used wasnt just there to help us communicate and be entertained, but also to actually improve our overall well-being? A new project from the Berlin-based Pong Design showcases a range of products designed specifically to improve both physical and mental health and even fight Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), also known as seasonal depression.The Personal Wellbeing project was born out of research of SAD and factors that affect both it and other aspects of our well-being. The devices created through the project arent just functional either. Theyre designed specifically for aesthetic appeal, with attention to the sensory experience and a generally minimalist look. In other words, they do away with the cold, boring tech packed into our homes these days, replacing it with a warm design language that helps make tech a little more approachable.The project actually encompasses four different products, each playing a different role in fighting SAD and elevating the tech in our home. The first is called the Daylight Lamp, and its essentially a light therapy tool thats battery-powered for portability and offers adjustable brightness. It has a tiltable panel that allows it to be more effective. Even beyond its use case as a tool to fight SAD, it functions as an ambient light that can be placed anywhere in the home.The next device is the Nebulizer. Its a pocket-sized device with a scaled-back face mask design that helps make it much more approachable than traditional nebulizers on the market. It has a battery indicator built into it to help ensure its always charged and a small window that lets you check the levels of nebulizing liquids.The third design is called the Massage Device, and its Pong Designs take on the portable massager. The Massage Device is essentially a hand-worn product that has an interchangeable strap, along with interchangeable pads that are made from cork to ensure comfort.Last but not least is the Meditation Speaker, which is a Bluetooth speaker with a few different modes for various use cases. Theres an ASMR mode, a meditation mode, and an active music mode, which can be selected through simply rotating the speaker grill itself. The design of the Meditation Speaker is inspired by hang drums, and the speaker can be combined with a natural-looking wooden stand to help integrate it with any home.Theres no word on when or if these products will be available for purchase, but were hoping the trend of building tech that can positively impact our health continues.To learn more about the Personal Wellbeing range, visit pong.design.
