Sensing the invisible.
Blooming inner nature.
InBloom is an emotional-sensing phone case and digital garden system that turns personal signals into living, meaningful growth.
Scroll to exploreEmotions don't always show, but constantly influence our lives.
We live in a digital world yet feel further from ourselves and nature.
Stress, anxiety, and emotional noise lead to burnout and inner depletion.
Existing solutions are data-heavy, but hard to feel. InBloom redefines emotional technology.
InBloom combines warm emotion sensing with a poetic digital garden to create a new way to live and grow.
Published experiences of mood tracking reveal a tension between capturing meaningful moments, managing input effort and making sense of change.
Six participants said a single daily entry may not capture their full emotional experience.
Repeated input and reminders can make sustained tracking difficult. This is a qualitative finding, not a measured prevalence.
Eight participants discussed possible associations noticed through tracking. Associations do not establish causes.
Research findings → design directions to test
People with mood-tracking experience who encounter difficulties with ongoing recording or understanding their records.
Interview themes may overlap. These samples do not establish population rates, a target age group, or demand for a sensing phone case.
Controlled research offers a basis for an EDA-first prototype. Performance during everyday phone use still requires independent validation.
Recording starts with valid electrode contact. Stable, usable data and the required grip duration still need testing.
All three variants use paired-text supervision during training.

37 healthy participants, ages 18–33; eight videos each, yielding 296 paired samples. This age range does not define InBloom’s audience.
Biopac MP36 + SS57LA; gel electrodes on the non-dominant index and middle fingers. Lab equipment, not the proposed case.
EDA statistics and skin conductance response features, including variance, entropy, peak counts and amplitudes.
A 3-minute initial baseline and videos lasting 80–209 seconds describe the study protocol, not a minimum phone-case grip time.
These are the paper’s reported values. Training settings and feature lists differ in parts of the supplement and current code; personal reproduction results need separate records.
The EDA branch reports higher values in this experiment, supporting EDA as the first prototype to test.
Usable data across grip durations; signal stability; performance on new users. No fixed grip time or 20-emotion accuracy is claimed.
Project progress: EEVR / FEEL model exploration reported; personal outputs await documentation. Case performance testing is not complete.
The case captures EDA, the phone manages the session, and the cloud estimates a state. One usable session becomes one editable record and flower.
EDA/GSR module
Session, records and user control
Analysis and history
Both modes use one continuous grip as one session.
Clean → model inputs → valence / arousal estimate
If capture is insufficient, optionally add a self-reported state and context.
Source: self-reportUse the estimate or self-report to create one record and flower. Later corrections or context update the same record.
Flower mapping is a product rule, not a model output class.
Preserve records and garden results for later review.
Follow the numbered nodes across the three devices.
The 5-second wait is a product setting, not a validated minimum for emotion inference. Usable duration and signal quality still require prototype testing.
View records and correct or supplement an entry.
VIP access to the same account’s saved history on another device.
VIP gates cross-device review, not capture, flower creation or manual corrections. Raw-signal retention and deletion rules remain to be defined.
Research references, not live APIs. No official hosted demo or Colab was found; scripts and weights require setup before deployment.
The candidate script expects a specified feature CSV and uses local model paths / CUDA. The product’s live capture, cloud history and VIP access are not provided by these repositories.
A seamless union of sensing hardware and digital nature for inner growth.

A living reflection of who you are and how you feel.
A widget and lock-screen surface keep the garden in view — glanceable, never notifying.
