Seent is a gamified smell training device designed for individuals with anosmia (loss of smell). It combines digitalization with an arcade-style appearance, offering a unique solution to the challenge of smell rehabilitation. The device operates in two simple steps: practice and assessment. During the practice phase, users are exposed to a palette of four distinct scents, continuously delivered one after the other by the device. Following this, users engage in the assessment phase, where they test their smell sensitivity by guessing which scent is released. This interactive process enables individuals to gradually recover and enhance their sense of smell in a digital format.

Seent optimizes and simplifies the traditional approach to smell training, providing a more accessible and playful experience. By integrating gamification and modern design elements, it offers a user-friendly solution for individuals seeking to improve their olfactory abilities.
