THE AFFECT FORGE EXPERIENCEWearable concept imagery

ONE RHYTHM. THREE WAYS TO CONNECT.

A little less distraction.
A lot more intention.

Set the pace. Fine-tune the feeling. Affect Forge puts the elements of bilateral stimulation within reach, with controls that adapt to the session you want to create.

01 / SOUND

Hear the movement.

Alternating left and right audio, with adjustable pitch, volume, timing and sound. Shape a rhythm that suits your session.

02 / LIGHT

Follow the flow.

A smooth visual pulse with a flowing tail. Choose its colour, direction and motion, on your phone or a dedicated screen.

03 / TOUCH

Feel the rhythm.

Connected AFFECT BLS units bring alternating haptic pulses to the experience, coordinated with the mobile session.

Wearable and session concept

A WINDOW INTO THE RHYTHM

Small details.
Thoughtful design.

The AFFECT BLS wearable is being developed to combine haptic stimulation and optical pulse sensing in a compact companion.

With a compatible connected sensor and a clear signal, the app and web interface can show a live pulse estimate. When the signal is unavailable, the display says so.

In development
These images illustrate our wearable vision. Hardware, sensor features and interfaces may change; EDA sensing shown in the concept is not currently available. Pulse estimates are not medical measurements.

AFFECT FORGE DUO RING · IN DEVELOPMENT

See the response
beneath the words.

Trauma is experienced in the body, too. During therapy, a client may appear calm while experiencing heightened physiological arousal. The Duo Ring is being developed to help practitioners follow these changes through electrodermal activity (EDA), alongside conversation, observation and the client’s own account.

Small changes. A wider perspective.

Designed to be worn across two adjacent fingers, the Duo Ring keeps its electrodes in contact with the skin to measure small changes in skin conductance. These changes are influenced by sympathetic nervous-system activity. The palmar surfaces of the fingers have a high concentration of sweat glands, making them a useful measurement location. Presented as a session trend, EDA can give practitioners an additional point of reference for discussion.

Reveal subtle changes

Activation is not always visible in expression, movement or speech. EDA offers another window into changes during a session.

Support thoughtful pacing

Patterns of rising activation, stabilisation and recovery may inform a shared decision to continue, pause, ground or explore further.

Add context to the conversation

When distress is hard to describe or put into a number, physiological trends can offer context while respecting the client’s own account.

Space for different ways of sensing.

Some clients, including those with autism, ADHD, alexithymia or interoceptive differences, may find subjective scales difficult to use. When internal sensations are hard to identify, describe or quantify, physiological monitoring can offer another point of reference for collaborative discussion.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

Before you
begin.

What is bilateral stimulation?

Here, bilateral stimulation means alternating cues between the left and right sides: sound through headphones, visual movement on a screen, or pulses from connected haptic units.

What do I need to use Session Studio?

A clinician Affect Forge account, the mobile app and an internet connection. Keep the app open while using web controls. Headphones deliver the alternating audio; compatible AFFECT BLS hardware is needed for haptic stimulation and wristband pulse sensing. Clinician accounts are invitation-only. Access does not include hardware or install the app.

Can someone join on another screen?

Yes. Pair your app, then copy the client link from Session Studio. It opens a focused visual display without access to your session controls. Links expire after up to eight hours and can be revoked. Network conditions can affect remote timing.

Is Affect Forge a medical device?

Affect Forge is a developing bilateral stimulation tool. It does not diagnose conditions, replace professional care or provide medical-grade physiological readings. Any therapeutic use should be guided by a qualified professional.

How is my account information used?

Your name and email identify your account. We store a password hash, never your readable password. Clinician invitations and password-reset links expire and work once. Paired devices stay associated with your account. Mobile session notes and personal ratings stay on the phone; browser access includes paired session controls and any pulse recordings saved through Session Studio.
