How it started
It all started when two
Greek lifetime friends, Haris Tsirbas and Giorgos Eleftheriou ( graduates in Electrical
and Computer Engineering of the National Technical University of Athens-Greece),
came up with the concept of designing a wearable to measure our feelings. That
is how the concept of “Feel” came up as a product as well as company’s name.
How it works
Integrated sensors in the bracelet record bio-signals from user's wrist (i.e., heart rate, temperature and transpiration), while in the background, machine learning algorithms recognize his emotional state.Furthermore, Feel mobile application acts as an emotional diary for the user, showing the user how he felt during the day, helping him to distinguish emotional patterns and provide personalized advice to improve his emotional habits.Moreover, the application will design a comprehensive personal program based on the principles of Psychology, which will lead the user from negative into positive emotions.
Why use Feel
As said by Feel’s developers,
it is difficult for someone to change something that cannot be measured. Therefore,
to be able to change personal habits that cause negative feelings, the first
step is to realize them. The next step is to create new, positive emotional
habits.
Feel, helps users to obtain
feeling “consciousness” and identify the circumstances and the facts that
affect them positively or negatively. By doing so, Feel will design a complete
personal plan, based on cognitive behavioral therapy that will lead the user
from negative towards positive feelings.
Currently-and- What's Next
The team is developing “Feel”, with goal to start product’s pre-sale in the Spring
2016, while they are preparing to go on the market at Christmas of the same year.

Overall, Feel’s goal is to create a nest of innovation and creativity. In doing so, the company uses new technologies to develop solutions for the recognition, monitoring and management of human feelings for better health and wellness. Within the next years, Feel envisions to be part of user’s day life to help him feel better by building positive emotional habits.
People in Feel, envision a world where user’s mobile phone urges him to go running when stressed, or call his favourite person when feeling sad; a world where applications such as Youtube or Spotify would suggest music video depending on user’s mood; a world where also diagnosing mental diseases, such as depression, early enough in order to fight it effectively; a happier world with less stress, anger and sadness.
Feel participated in important expositions with great success, such as Launch Expo (San Francisco), one of the most important expositions on wearables, where it was selected as one of the best startup companies, and presented their product on exposition's stage. In addition, L.A. TechWatsch website ranked Feel within the four most important startup companies.
