The product is made of a mix of digital and traditional style toys .

 

A central hub forms the face of the doll , which can be used by parents to open up the conversation of anxiety to their child with help from the interactive face which will contain an app.

This central hub can be removed from the doll, and paired with a strap to form a watch for anxiety relief on the go for the child.
