Using the Pison App

The app has a navigation bar at the bottom with 4 icons, from left to right: Home, Data, Community, and Cognitive Insights. In the center, there’s a button to start cognitive tests on your wearable.

Home

On the Home screen, there are 3 main tabs: Mind, Body, and Fatigue.

• Mind: Shows your Neural Data, Cognitive Circadian Rhythm, and cognitive test results (Readiness, Agility, and Focus).
• Body: Displays data for Recovery and Strain, Heart Rate, calories, and Steps.
• Fatigue: Visualizes your sleep data, including sleep efficiency, sleep stages (awake, light, deep, REM), and other key metrics like Sleep Debt.

Note: You can either tap the ‘DETAILS’ button or on the little arrow in the top right corner of metric cards within these tabs to go to the Data screen, which has more information in daily and weekly views.

Also on the Home screen, the My Profile/Settings and Notification (bell) buttons are in the top left corner, while the Device Settings button is located in the top right corner.

Cognitive Insights

Introduction

This feature allows you to discover how your daily habits (such as sleep, exercise, caffeine intake, and more) affect your cognitive performance. You’ll receive personalized insights to help optimize your mental performance based on your habits.

Types of Insights

There are two types of Cognitive Insights: passive and active.

• Active insights track how your cognitive abilities adapt to your current state and environment. This is where you come in: after each cognitive test, you’ll be presented with a short survey to assess your mood, motivation, and anything else relevant.
  • Examples: emotional state, current activity, intake of food or drugs.
• Passive insights track how your cognitive abilities improve or worsen in relation to your body’s changes. These are tracked automatically through your Body and Fatigue Metrics.
  • Examples: sleep efficiency, sleep debt, total REM sleep.

Tagging for Active Insights

Active insights require you to provide data on yourself and your surroundings to determine the presence and size of cognitive impacts. This is done on the tagging screen after each cognitive test.

There are some predefined tags for everyone to use. You can also add your own tags with the [Create tag] button. Tap the [⛭ Edit] button to search through and delete custom tags.

For an insight to be calculated, you need to take 5 tests with and 5 tests without the tag in a 90-day period. Once calculated, insights will be updated after each test. If a tag has not been used for 30 days, it will be grayed out to show it is out of date.

Viewing Your Insights

You can see the Cognitive Insights screen by tapping the notepad button on the right side of the navigation bar. The screen is split into 3 tabs, one for each type of test. For each test type, the insights are also broken up into Active and Passive Insights. Within each category, the list of insights are sorted from most positive (green) to most negative (red). New insights are highlighted in blue.
