Kyn will soon be introducing itself to [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/space-invaders-my-play-watch) as a digital companion and wellness watch for kids that motivates using an [interactive adventure game storyline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mount-fitness). Along their journey, kids between the ages of five and 12 will get familiar with characters to inspire them to complete various tasks in the hopes of advancing.

To instill healthy habits in kids from a young age, such as being physically active, Kyn uses a combination of fitness tracking, calendar reminders and rewards to motivate youth, all the while setting up healthy boundaries with technology like limited screen time.

With the fitness and wellness watch, parents are able to add in [events and chores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chorequest) to give kids a sense of responsibility and reduce nagging.
