NUDG

overview

The loop

A responsive focus wearable that detects when attention slips and gently guides it back through the senses — an ear-worn EEG sensor paired with a haptic cue.

NUDG
Objective

As time on task increases, attention and alertness decline. NUDG closes the loop: learn a personal baseline, detect the earliest signs of drift, cue re-engagement through touch, and confirm whether it worked.

Approach

A 3-contact EEG earpiece reads attention where dry electrodes sit cleanly against the ear, paired with a single 20 Hz haptic core that mounts to the ear, neck, or fingertip — the same actuator and feedback pattern re-tuned per body part. Detachable by design, positioned against measure-and-report wearables with a real-time closed loop.

Outcome

A resolved Prototype v12 concept — industrial design across earpiece, necklace, and ring forms, the sensing/haptics rationale, and a go-to-market (B2C students → B2B education and high-vigilance work) into a growing student and EdTech market.
