PieX AI, a France-based provider of multimodal AI hardware for smart health, has introduced a new pendant featuring personalised, on-device AI technology.

The AI-powered pendant is designed to transform mental health management by integrating technology with emotional well-being.

PieX said the technology aligns with its strategy to enhance users’ mental health through AI life coaching, guided breathing exercises, and comprehensive health monitoring.

The new pendant serves as a holistic tool that applies both physiological and psychological approaches to support emotional well-being.

Also, the company enables users to identify and embrace their feelings and encourages them to develop a positive mindset to enhance their mental energy and well-being.

PieX developed the device based on its in-house Sensing Technology and foundation models featuring both personalised AI and On-device AI.

The sensing technology allows AI to understand users better and provides accurate emotion tracking results, building a personalised emotion database for each user.

It enables accurate measurement of indicators of stress, such as heart rate variability (HRV), and determines the user’s emotional state through speech tone during conversations.

Also, the pendant helps users perceive their environment and events, correlating emotional states with daily occurrences, and helping users cope with various emotional changes.

PieX uses the pendant’s superior sensing capabilities to provide personalised AI.

Personalised AI offers options for meditation and breathing exercises based on the user’s emotional changes and preferences, enabling a proactive approach to mental health.

Also, the pendant operates on users’ mobile phones, ensuring that emotional data and auto-journaled information are processed and stored locally, eliminating cloud storage.

The local processing and storing features ensure enhanced user privacy and data security in the era of large language models, said the French AI company.
