<div><strong>Hello!</strong> We’re Heidy &amp; Caio, a Brazilian couple raising a curious toddler—and now a hope-filled hardware project—in Berlin.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We’re Doing This</strong>
</div>
<div>After welcoming our daughter into the world, we both felt an unexpected surge of clarity: this tiny human deserved parents who were fully present—mind, heart, and attention. Caio’s ADHD diagnosis became less a setback and more an invitation to design a <strong><em>calmer</em></strong>, <strong><em>less fragmented</em></strong> life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Choosing to step away from an always-buzzing smartphone opened space for healthier focus and fresh creativity. For Heidy, motherhood sharpened her instinct to pour her energy into what matters most—family and meaningful work. Together we saw an opportunity: <strong><em>turn our shared need for distraction-free presence into a product that can help neurodivergent people, parents (and basically anyone who owns a smartphone) reclaim theirs, too. </em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Meet Aion</strong>
</div>
<div>Aion is a a small, local AI device that reads and gently tunes your brain waves—without apps, cloud accounts, or endless scroll:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Local‑only AI—all processing happens on‑device.
</div>
<div>Binaural beats + gentle vagus‑nerve (tVNS) stimulation to calm anxiety and improve focus.
</div>
<div>EEG &amp; ECG sensors that adapt each session privately to you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Where We Are Now</strong>
</div>
<div>✅ Completed proof of concept
</div>
<div>We are now at the breadboard + demo firmware stage
</div>
<div>Next is the prototype development: first PCB layout
</div>
<div>Collecting Data in Berlin across tech, healthcare &amp; hospitality: Does your smartphone/tecnology bring you more peace or anxiety?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Need Your Help</strong>
</div>
<div>We’re dedicating ourselves full-time to Aion while caring for our toddler. We are raising money in order to survive the next four months—long enough to finish the prototype and secure larger grants. The money you contribute with will go towards: Family living expenses, Prototype parts &amp; Professional Engineering help, Essential software subscriptions &amp; GoFundMe card-processing fees.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What You’ll Receive</strong>
</div>
<div>Backer-only, behind-the-scenes posts on every prototype milestone.
</div>
<div>Monthly “Neuro-Hacks” newsletter—concise, research-backed tips we personally use to stay calm and focused.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Did You Know?</strong>
</div>
<div>We are also freelance Film/Content Producers, so if you have a need for it and would like to hire any of our services we would be happy to help you with that!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Every euro gets us closer to proving that mindful tech exists and can be beneficial to humanity!</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Obrigado &amp; Thank You!
</div>
<div>Heidy &amp; Caio Silva (&amp; little So).
