VOLTA

The Volta start-up

Volta is an innovative startup developing a wearable device designed to help people regain control over their digital habits.

At the heart of our mission lies a simple but urgent question: how can technology support healthier relationships with technology itself?

Our first product, the Volta Ring, is a discreet and elegant smart ring that empowers users to reduce excessive social media consumption. Unlike wellness apps that rely on notifications—ironically adding to the flood of digital distractions Volta takes a minimalistic and embodied approach. The ring monitors patterns of smartphone usage, detecting when scrolling exceeds healthy limits. Instead of sending another push alert, Volta delivers subtle haptic feedback directly through the ring. This tangible sensation acts as an immediate reminder, helping users interrupt compulsive behaviors and become more mindful of their time online.

Real‑time wearable platform for intentional digital habits

Volta is built on the belief that behavior change is most effective when it happens at the moment of action.

By offering real-time awareness without requiring users to look at their screens, the ring provides a seamless way to encourage healthier decisions. Over time, these micro-interventions support digital detox, reduce stress, and foster more intentional use of social media.
The Volta platform also offers personalized insights through a companion app, allowing users to visualize habits, track progress, and set goals.

Privacy is central: all data is stored securely and controlled entirely by the user.

In a world where digital addiction affects millions, Volta reimagines wearable technology as a force for balance and well-being. Our goal is not to eliminate social media, but to restore choice helping people use it deliberately, without letting it use them.
