As a Speculative and Critical design project, this project speculates a plausible near future where the phenomena of overprotection or overcontrol frequently present and the social group of people in control or authority, for example, parent at home to their child, teacher at school to their students or manager at office to their employees etc, needs a behavioural nudge for self-regulation of their over-protective habits.

The diagetic artifact in this phenomena, speculated as a shoe, measures their stress and anxiety levels, and through ML understands their behavioral patterns of moments of acting out of Anxiety or Stress and gives them a behavioral nudge through a contraction mechanism on the feet, to self-regulate.
