In the rapidly evolving circumstances of the COVID-19 outbreak, it’s important to remember that businesses are kept running by people.
It’s easy for all of us to feel stressed, anxious and overwhelmed, which is why it’s important to take time to practice self-care and manage mental well-being with healthy coping methods — and encourage your staff and team members to do the same.
These Consumer Technology Association (CTA)® member companies offer products that help minds take healthy breaks.

Elevate your mental strength with guided meditations and breath training through Core, a CES® 2020 Innovation Award honoree. Soothing pulses in the spherical, palm-sized meditation ball guides users through technique and acts as a reminder to help focus attention.
Core’s electrocardiogram technology tracks the user’s heart rate and provides immediate insight into how their bodies respond to each meditation session.
