What makes Zuzi different
A desk-friendly robot that guides breathing with touch, motion and timing—no screens, no judgement.
Biometric sensing
Place your hands on Zuzi to capture physiological signals via onboard sensors for session guidance.
AI-personalised
Adaptive guidance that tailors breathwork pacing to the user's live sensor feedback.
Haptic breathwork
Zuzi's body expands and contracts in rhythm—users mirror the motion to breathe with it.
Privacy-minded
Designed for local-first operation with minimal, consent-based data handling.

Gentle cue to hold.
4. Exhale
Haptics contract—release the breath.
Under active development. Industrial design is illustrative.
Currently under research
Zuzi is an ongoing research project at the National University of Singapore under the supervision of Prof. Dean Ho (Biomedical Engineering). The build integrates sensing, control and behaviour design informed by current evidence.
