Ready to Launch 

The startup world is all about getting the most eyes on the latest products — and then turning those eyes into loyal customers, of course. We gathered some of the buzziest items on the market right now that promise to make you your best, most efficient self.

Smart Health Cushion 

$199; darma.co 

Are you sitting for this? You can finally prioritize your health, while prepping for your 9 a.m. status meeting. Darma is the first smart cushion that monitors your health while you work. Literally sit back and relax while the cushion uses smart sensing technology to assess your posture, monitor your sitting habits and length of sedentary periods, and measures your stress. Updated through the Darma app, the cushion alerts you to meet your goals through vibrations, and redirects you to the app for instructional stretching videos, vital signs, and stress reports.

Reusable Smart Notebook 

$27; getrocketbook.com
 Psychologists have long argued for the value of writing notes by hand rather than typing them. With this Smart Notebook, you can handwrite all the information you need without losing the convenience of having it stored digitally. The Rocketwave Smart Notebook can upload your notes to Google Docs, Dropbox, iCloud, Evernote, Box, and e-mail. The coolest part? To erase your pad, you toss this book in the microwave. No, we’re not kidding.

Muse Meditation Headband 

$199; choosemuse.com
 Whether you’re working on davening with dveikus or learning to live more mindfully, the Muse meditation headband will give you actionable goals. By measuring your neurofeedback, this program allows you to review the success of your meditation sessions and set goals based on this information. With the Muse app on your phone, you are able to guide your meditations with music or nature sounds, which adjust based on the strength of your practice; when calm, users hear peaceful sounds, but when your mind wanders, the weather sounds intensify, guiding you back to a calm state.
