THE EDITORIAL ANGLEThe product question behind Pulse Mindfulness: a clear behaviour before more technology.

Two ideas to take away.

  1. Start with a specific behaviour or need.
  2. Explain the role of the device in everyday life.

Meet Johan Matton.

Johan Matton is introduced in the episode as the founder and CEO of Pulse Mindfulness. He joins the show to discuss the thinking behind the Pulse ring, a wearable designed around reminders for awareness and mindfulness.

The product question behind Pulse Mindfulness: a clear behaviour before more technology.

The published episode description centres on the journey behind the product and the intention to support moments of presence. That gives the conversation a distinctive starting point within a wearable market often associated with measurement and performance data.

The episode also addresses the challenges of creating a hardware startup in the longevity space. Its business relevance comes from the translation between a desired human experience and a physical product that has to be developed, communicated and delivered.

Health technology is not only a race to collect more data. Products can also compete through simplicity, attention and the experience of using them. A clear description of the intended behaviour helps people understand how a new device is different.
