Samsung and Pearson Launch AI-Powered Wearable to Aid Focus and Attention
Samsung Electronics and Pearson are collaborating to address challenges with focus and attention, yesterday announcing the release of Revibe, an AI-enabled wearable solution delivered via the Samsung Galaxy Watch7.
Revibe tracks on-task behavior, fidgeting, work completion, and exercise, providing real-time reminders and guidance to improve concentration and self-regulation skills. The device leverages AI to translate behavioral data into actionable insights, potentially assisting individuals with conditions like ADHD and benefiting anyone seeking to enhance their focus. This collaboration comes as rates of attention-related concerns continue to rise across all age groups.
Using advanced algorithms, Revibe learns each user’s patterns – including attention span, fidgeting, and activity levels – and responds with vibrating alerts and on-screen prompts. A key feature is Samsung’s Freestanding Mode, allowing the Galaxy Watch7 to operate independently of a smartphone, a crucial benefit for use in school environments where phone access is often restricted. “With Revibe, Pearson empowers individuals who experience focus and attention barriers, along with their families and support networks, by helping them build the self-regulation skills they need for success,” said Rich Brancaccio, Senior Director, Pearson, and the Founder of Revibe. The solution also utilizes Samsung’s Knox mobile security platform for secure data collection.
The Revibe app provides a dashboard for users, families, educators, and clinicians to visualize progress. The initial rollout will focus on the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series, with plans to expand to additional Samsung devices, and will be available to clinical professionals, individual users, and care teams.

Officials stated the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to innovation and creating accessible solutions for individuals navigating focus and attention-related challenges, and they expect to continue expanding the capabilities of Revibe in the future.
Englewood Cliffs, N.J., – Oct. 29, 2025 – Children and adults face challenges with focus and attention. This not only makes learning difficult but can seriously impact a person’s ability to plan tasks, complete work and finish assignments. With children, the effects of limited focus can be particularly pronounced, inhibiting their educational, social and emotional development.
Samsung Electronics, a world leader in consumer electronics, and Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world’s lifelong learning company, are collaborating to help children and adults overcome these challenges.
Pearson recently introduced Revibe, an AI-enabled wearable solution delivered via the Samsung Galaxy Watch7, to help individuals build skills in focus, attention and self-regulation.
Revibe tracks on-task behavior, fidgeting, work completion and exercise while providing reminders to stay focused, remember tasks and complete work, which, as part of a healthy lifestyle, may help individuals living with conditions such as ADHD.
By leveraging AI to translate real-time behavioral data into actionable insights, Revibe equips professionals and individual users with data-informed pathways to improve focus in the classroom and beyond.
Combining Pearson’s proprietary, attention-enhancing software with the Galaxy Watch7, including Samsung’s Knox mobile security platform, Revibe is a discreet, real-time tool designed to help users improve concentration and develop stronger self-regulation skills throughout the day. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing innovation and creating inclusive, accessible solutions that empower individuals of all ages who are navigating focus and attention-related challenges.
Using AI and advanced algorithms to understand Galaxy Watch sensor data, Revibe learns each user’s behavior patterns, including attention span, fidgeting, steps, calories burned and more. Revibe’s software then addresses individuals with focus and attention challenges from multiple angles. Vibrating alerts bring the user back on task and bolster executive function, while on-screen “light bulb moments” provide guidance that won’t disturb others.
Leveraging Samsung’s Freestanding Mode on the Galaxy Watch, Revibe also eliminates smartphone distractions by enabling the Galaxy Watch to operate independently, without a smartphone, for a streamlined user experience. Freestanding Mode is especially important when Revibe is used by children, since most smartwatches are simply an extension of a smartphone, and many schools don’t allow children to carry phones.
The Revibe app offers users, families, educators, and clinicians a user-friendly dashboard that visualizes progress in near real time, which can lead to more customized support in the classroom and elsewhere to help individuals succeed.
“With Revibe, Pearson empowers individuals who experience focus and attention barriers, along with their families and support networks, by helping them build the self-regulation skills they need for success,” said Rich Brancaccio, Senior Director, Pearson, and the Founder of Revibe. “After evaluating multiple wearable solutions, we determined that the Samsung Galaxy Watch was the right device for Revibe, offering the ideal balance of a low-distraction interface, extended battery life1 and secure data collection capabilities to serve the needs of these individuals and help them reach their fullest potential.”
“Samsung Galaxy Watch perfectly fits Revibe’s needs thanks to capabilities such as Samsung’s Knox mobile security management platform, Freestanding Mode, and Kiosk Mode,” said Cherry Drulis, MBA, BSN, RN, Senior Director, Regulated Industry, Samsung. “With Knox Manage, after the pair & detach process in Freestanding Mode, Revibe can apply policies to the Galaxy Watch, including software updates to ensure continued compatibility, while Kiosk Mode keeps Galaxy Watch focused on Revibe’s application, ensuring individuals with focus and attention challenges enjoy easier access with fewer distractions.”
The Samsung and Revibe collaboration will begin with the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series and is expected to expand to additional Samsung devices. Revibe will offer the solution to clinical professionals across education and healthcare, as well as individual users, parents, and other care teams.
