RCMES
The World’s First Relationship-Centered Mood Enhancement System A new standard in emotional wellness, where your emotional signal, your relationships, and your nervous system all speak the same language
Internal Guidance
RCMES is a comprehensive, adaoptogen and technology-integrated ecosystem designed to help individuals and groups proactively nurture their emotional well-being by strengthening relational dynamics.
Born from the insight that our relationships, not just our routines, are the most powerful predictors of mental and emotional well-being, RCMES was built for one radical purpose: To turn connection into medicine.
Joint Venture
In collaboration with Jasmine Design Studio, we helped birth a new design category, an ecosystem where smart technology, adaptogenic rituals, and emotional pattern recognition turn every interaction into an opportunity for repair, presence, and harmony.
Feel the difference
Most mood swings aren’t random. They’re relational signals.
RCMES helps people decode emotional drift, pinpoint the friction, and realign to connection, before the damage begins. In a world pushing self-optimization, RCMES pioneers relational optimization.
What We Did
Category Creation: Coined and positioned "Relational Wellness OS" to transcend the crowded mental health and wearables space
Behavioral System Design: Defined the RCMES Ring + App + Ritual Loop, mapping user states to mood-aware interventions
Emotional Interface Development: Created intuitive feedback loops (color pulses, journaling prompts, sentiment-sync nudges)
Visual Language & Storytelling: Defined and activated a creative system that blends organic calm with biometric clarity
Consumer Journey Engineering: Architected a relational rhythm flow: drift, detect, sync, repair, repeat
Product Naming & Microcopy: Named the Balance Ring™, created user-facing prompts like “Your vibe is your vital sign”
Market Positioning & GTM Narrative: Positioned the platform as an intimacy-enhancing OS for the emotionally intelligent era
Solution
RCMES is a relational nervous system, detecting emotional misalignments before they become disconnects.
The system is composed of:
Balance Ring: Detects emotional states via biometrics + subtle haptic cues
RCMES App: Delivers AI-guided repair rituals, mood trend dashboards, and partner check-ins
Adaptogenic Wellness Rituals: Herbal blends and sensory cues aligned to mood state + relationship quality
Ambient Interface: From calming color glows to frictionless micro-journaling, the entire system is built for low-friction awareness
RCMES doesn’t teach emotional intelligence. It translates it into behavior, daily, calmly, and intuitively

Ambient, non-verbal cues help users become emotionally aware without overwhelm.
Shared emotional tracking fosters mutual responsibility for relationship quality.
Simplicity in interaction (like taps and color pulses) increases daily engagement.
Emotional repair is more effective when supported by real-time physiological feedback.
