SteadyPulse: Haptic Metronome
Designed originally for the Parkinson's community, to aid with speech fluency and rhythm, as well as walking with a steady gait, SteadyPulse developed into a powerful, minimalist haptic/audio metronome for musicians and sports training. By delivering clear, consistent vibrations via your Android phone or watch, SteadyPulse allows you to feel the rhythm directly on your body (it also has the option of traditional metronome audio "clicks").
Rhythmic Therapy & Parkinson’s Support - SteadyPulse is a valuable tool for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease or mobility challenges. Utilizing the principles of Rhythmic Auditory Stimulation (RAS) but through haptic feedback, the app helps: • Overcome 'Parkinson's gait.' • Improve walking cadence and stride consistency. • Provide a steady "internal" cue for movement transitions. • Provide a steady rhythm to aid fluency and clarity in speech.
Music & Performance - Stay perfectly in the pocket without the clutter of an audio click track. Ideal for drummers, guitarists, and performers who need a discreet tempo reference that doesn't interfere with their monitor mix or the audience’s experience.
Sports & Athletics - Master your cadence. Whether you’re working on your running form, cycling stroke, or weightlifting tempo, SteadyPulse provides the rhythmic foundation you need to maintain peak performance and efficiency.
