We built a 5–12 min daily training for focus and reaction time on a dedicated tablet. Would you actually use (or pay for) something like this?
Hi everyone!
This is my first post on Reddit, so I hope I’m not messing up the format or breaking any rules. If you have any advice on how to improve this post or approach this better, I’d really appreciate it.
I’m trying to validate a problem before scaling further, and I’d love brutally honest feedback.
The idea:
We’re exploring whether people actually care about improving focus, reaction time, and mental fatigue in daily life, not just in clinical or sports settings.
There’s research linking cognitive load, fatigue, and sensory systems (vision + inner ear + attention), which in real life can show up as:
- slower reactions
- reduced focus under pressure
- mental fatigue during the day
What we built:
A simple training system:
- 5–12 minutes per day
- guided exercises using head movement + audio + visual cues
- adaptive difficulty based on performance
- runs on a dedicated tablet (pre-configured, no setup, no distractions)
We’re testing it for people in:
- construction / logistics
- healthcare
- high-intensity office work
The questions I need help with:
- Is this actually a problem people care about improving, or only notice when it becomes serious (mistakes, burnout, accidents)?
- Does a 5–12 min daily training feel credible or too light to work?
- Would you use something like this if it showed measurable improvement over time? Would you ever pay for it? What would feel reasonable?
- What would stop you from using it consistently even if it worked?
Any feedback (especially critical) is really welcome. 🙏
