Keen2: Track Trichotillomania

Keen2 by HabitAware is a powerful tool for individuals struggling with hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking (dermatillomania), and nail biting. It provides two ways for users to take control of their behaviors and empower healthier lifestyle changes.

Firstly, the app allows users to manually track their behavior. By downloading the app for free, users can easily record instances of hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting. The app is designed to help users understand patterns and triggers, enabling them to practice healthier ways to replace these behaviors and gain control.

Secondly, Keen2 offers a smart bracelet that works in conjunction with the app. Co-invented by a mental health advocate with trichotillomania, this holistic system helps shift users from autopilot to awareness. The Keen2 bracelet uses patented gesture detection technology to recognize instances of hair pulling, skin picking, or nail biting. It provides a gentle vibration on the wrist, acting as a cue for users to practice healthier soothing mechanisms and retrain their brain.

The Keen family has shared their positive experiences with the Keen2 system, highlighting how it has changed their lives for the better. Users have reported significant improvements in their behaviors and overall well-being. Keen2 has been praised as an effective method for tracking and combating hair pulling, nail biting, and skin picking.

HabitAware's Keen2 has garnered recognition as a TIME Magazine Best Invention and is supported by research grants from the NIH and NSF. It has been featured in reputable publications such as the Washington Post, Prevention Magazine, and TechCrunch, among others.
