PULSE: Changing habits for the better

PULSE is a 3D-printed wearable device that pulses, or vibrates, when a person’s hand is nearing their face. This is a simple and affordable technology that can easily be reproduced and is available as open source on Github. As health officials advised the world to wash hands, social distance, and wear a face mask, JPL developed PULSE as another way to assist efforts to keep us as healthy as possible. As an open source item, we hope individuals or companies will replicate, refine or enhance PULSE and make it available for distribution.
