What is Civility?

Civility is an un-intrusive smartwatch application that uses natural language processing to offer suggestions during conflicts and provide feedback on emotional management on a day-by-day basis.

Although conflicts are a common and normal part of relationships, regardless of whether they are romantic, platonic or professional, most individuals do not have any training in how to conduct a successful and civil argument.

Civility is here to help you.

How Can Civility Help?

Civility is able to perform the act of providing its user with feedback regarding emotion control. This data includes times that a customer lost its cool on a particular given day, that individual’s aggregated average for losing his or her temper, and the person’s current volume level and speech rate.
The application will send vibrating notifications to the watch-wearer letting him or her know that the voice volume is getting too loud or words are being spoken too quickly, or both.
Given a list of words that the watch-wearer wants to avoid in conversation, such as "like", "um", and "uh", Civility will track the number of times he or she has said each respective keyword in the last 24 hours.
