Often researchers working at the Poles have to deal with the challenge of surviving not just in harsh weather conditions but also deal with 24 hours of daylight or darkness. This makes syncing their biological clocks and gauging an accurate perception of time to be a big challenge. Additionally, this group of people also experience an emotional disconnect with their family and loved ones back home while working in these conditions for upto a few months at a time. Our product aims to provide a solution to solve these major problems experienced by this user group.
