Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools, and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing, or other special needs!

If you’re looking for an app full of soundscapes to help you focus, relax, and sleep, check out Endel!  Endel features tons of personalized soundscapes backed by neuroscience.

According to the app’s website, their “patented technology creates soundscapes that adapt in real-time. It reacts to inputs like time of day, weather, heart rate, and location. Neuroscience shows Endel consistently improves focus and lowers stress…”

The app can siphon heart rate and step data from your smartwatch and build a beat to match your pulse or footfalls.
