Pendle: SRISSS, a Stress Reduction Information System Software Solution

Combining Computer Vision with Bilateral Stimulation to Reduce Stress.

Computer Vision:

• Pendle will monitor and record your heart rate, breathing, and emotions.

Bilateral Stimulation:

• Pendle uses a swinging ball, inspired by Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, to help you process your experiences while feeling calm and relaxed.

Relaxation Session:

• Stay focused and follow the moving object and instructions on your screen, like taking a deep breath.

Installation:

1. Clone the repository:

   Pendle.git

2. Install the dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Run the program:

   python main.py

Modules
