A relaxation and therapy device for people with OCD, which encourages them to accept disorder for a certain period of time.

Current so-called “solutions” to OCD don't really address the true problems of obsessions and compulsions, instead behaving as fidget toys and puzzles. We needed to create a device that could provide the relief of creating order and symmetry as well as allowing the user to push themselves to cope with disorder for as long as they choose. The OCDevice is a rectangular prism containing a grid of lights that can be organized or disorganized depending upon the user's decision.

There isn't a product yet which deals with these problems, however OCD is an condition that needs to be addressed with more attention than we as a society have been currently giving it. We need to eliminate stereotypes that OCD is merely about cleanliness and neatness. OCD is a set of different obsessions and compulsions. One of these compulsions is a need to put things in a specific order as well as using repetitive motions. Which is where our product comes into play. The OCDevice starts off as a disorganized grid of random colors, however by making the repeated motion of pressing the buttons on the side, the grid slowly becomes organized. While the cube is disorganized, a stopwatch is active to show the user how long they have gone without organizing, to set a personal challenge.
