BeeCalm is an Android mobile and watch app and filled with resources for people suffering from panic attacks. The app consist of feature documentation on each resource and more in-depth instructions on how to use each one and why each is effective. In addition, it will also include more general anxiety-combatting information, not only just a symptom but also an attempt to help the root of the problem.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States ages 18 and older, or 18% of the population (Source: National Institute of Mental Health). Our Android mobile and watch application aims to help people experiencing a panic attack to calm their mind and body and overcome it. When someone is suffering from a panic attack, they are filled with adrenaline coupled wih a sense of dread, making it hard to think clearly and rationally, which can greatly affect their daily life. Our app will help the user get through a panic attack in three main ways:

1. Help the person disconnect from their panic-inducing situation by guiding him or her to repeat a simple, physically-focused task.

2. Help the person feel physically relaxed through the use of tapping points, yoga, or breathing exercises.

3. Help the person feel mentally calm through the use of mantras and audio.
