Calm Technology: A New Philosophy for Parenting in the Digital Age

The promise of "smart" parenting technology was to make life easier. Instead, it often adds to the cognitive load of parents, creating a source of constant anxiety with a barrage of data and notifications. At Nxmliscore, we believe in a different approach, one inspired by the principles of "calm technology."

Calm technology, a term coined by researchers Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown, describes technology that seamlessly integrates into our lives, providing information without demanding our focused attention. It operates in the background, assisting when needed and staying out of the way when not. This is the philosophy behind Anvaya.

How Anvaya Embodies Calm Technology:

• Information, Not Interruption: Anvaya doesn't stream a constant feed of video or data. It observes quietly, learning your baby's unique patterns. It notifies you with gentle insights, not jarring alarms, turning data into reassurance.
• Peripheral Awareness: You don't need to stare at a screen to know things are okay. Anvaya is a quiet guardian. It's designed to give you peace of mind so you can be more present with your child.
• Human-Centered Design: The goal isn't to replace parental intuition; it's to support it. Anvaya provides context to what you're already sensing, helping you turn a guess into a confident decision.

We believe the best technology doesn't shout for your attention. It gives you your attention back. By designing for calm, we hope to support a more peaceful, confident, and connected parenting experience.
