Backing a project on Kickstarter requires a certain level of trust. We want you to feel comfortable with backing us because we aren't some crazy people, we are two healthcare providers with an intent to bring something to market that we feel strongly about.

We invite you to help us do that.

Steven and I discussed many different ideas before deciding upon this project. We have calculated the risks and potential benefits, and we believe we should create this product as opposed to one of our other ideas because of 4 specific reasons.

Importantly, we are basing this project on a need defined as a function of well-known statistics.

There is a substantial amount of data available in human resources and management literature regarding how impactful poor or distracting work environments act as a detriment to productive work.

Listed below is one Infographic we produced showing just a few pertinent statistics we think are valuable.

We've defined some of the introduction to why we think our project is a good idea. Now we're moving on to discuss how ADD/ADHD comes into play. We don't intend on having our market limited to those with attention problems; rather, we think our device can help anyone that needs to focus, but since one of the developers of our project suffers from ADHD, we feel it is an important facet of the project worth mentioning. Just look at the statistics and information shown below. 5 million US adults with ADHD. 6.4 million children with ADHD.

The theory is, you work 25 minutes and then take a 5-minute break. The key here is that it's supposed to be uninterrupted. After several of those 30-minute increments, you take a longer break. Imagine you put our glasses on, you can only see what's directly in front of your field of vision, and people around you know to leave you alone.

Our product will have a visual notifier for those around the wearer to know when he or she should be left alone, and we are building in a vibration function to notify the wearer when to begin one's break. Listed below is how our current prototype functions.

Current Plan For Pomodoro Attachment:

It is a simple timer with 2 LED's One is green, and the other is red.

The red LED will keep flashing every 10 seconds for 25 minutes, then the flashing will turn to green.

And the green flashing will turn back to red after 5 minutes.

When the LED conversion takes place, a vibration occurs to notify the wearer. A constant fast red flash and triplet vibration indicate low battery, and the device will turn off after 5 seconds automatically.

A long push of the button (2 seconds) will turn on/off the device.

A short push (less than 1 second) will restart the 25-minute timer and will double vibrate to notify the wearer of success.

We want you to have options. If you just want to show us support but don't have much to spare, $5 is greatly appreciated. If on the other hand, you want a brand-spanking-new, mint-condition, fanfarkintastic piece of focus-enhancing technology, back us with one of the higher tiers.

Who gets what, when? When we hit our goal you lose a bit, but pretty soon after you will get back oh so much more.
