Q

Can Hands Off detect other body-focused repetitive behaviors (BFRBs)?

Yes, the same AI technology detects multiple BFRBs including nose picking, eyelash pulling, eyebrow hair pulling, and ear picking. You can customize which facial zones trigger interventions based on your specific BFRB patterns.

Q

How do I know if my nail biting or skin picking is a disorder that needs treatment?

Look for physical damage like infections, scarring, or bleeding. Check if you're hiding your hands or avoiding social situations. If you've tried to stop multiple times without success, or spend hours on the behavior, you need help. About 45% of people have multiple BFRBs, so watch for other behaviors too.

Q

Are BFRBs genetic or caused by stress and anxiety?

Both. If family members have similar habits, you're more likely to develop them. But stress usually triggers or worsens the behavior during exams, deadlines, or major life changes. You can't change genetics, but you can learn better stress management and catch yourself before the behavior starts.

Q

How effective is real-time AI detection compared to traditional methods?

Real-time intervention is significantly more effective than after-the-fact tracking. Unlike bitter polish or manual logging apps, Hands Off provides immediate intervention at the moment habits begin, achieving 70-90% reduction in episodes within the first week for most users.
