Description

Anxiety is on the rise, especially among women, so what can we do about it? If you don't have time to meditate or take a yoga class, some new technology products promise near-instant stress relief. We look at Moonbird, a handheld device that teaches you how to breathe; Apollo Neuroscience, a wearable that subtly vibrates and helps you sleep, recover or focus; and Tripp, a digital psychedelic experience served up via virtual reality headset. (And bonus: All of these companies have women founders.) Can the burgeoning field of anxiety tech help remedy our racing thoughts and sweaty palms and intense feelings of panic? We find out in this episode.
