Squeeze Me, by Enablearts, is designed for children who are experiencing stress related to dealing with a challenging medical condition. The device is a squishy toy that detects certain bio-readings and responds to change with visual feedback using light patterns. By giving kids a visual reference to what's going on in their body, they can learn how to identify different stress and anxiety triggers. The Squeeze Me concept has been developed in collaboration with the Montefiore Children’s Hospital.
