Using some of these biosignals through Galvanic Skin Response sensor, Blood Volume Pulse and skin temperature the Feel Wristband can now passively track your mood! Mood tracking is an important parameter for life-loggers, since it correlates with other activities directly. Tracking emotions is just as important as tracking our fitness or so if not more. Mental health is generally ignored by people.
What is the Feel Wristband?
The Feel wristband by Sentio Solutions is a great revolution in mood tracking. This has Galvanic Skin Response sensors that detect an Electrodermal Response. It is quite a complex process that is dependent on movement, body temperature, blood volume pulse also. All this data is sent to your phone using bluetooth and displayed using the application. It works on the principle that emotion is mainly represented by biological reactions, psycho-physiological expressions, and mental states.
USES
– We can check for our autonomic nervous system activation by measuring changes in Electrodermal (i.e., sweat gland) and Cardiovascular (i.e., blood circulatory system) conditions. The changes are monitored with the help of electrical changes across the surface of the skin.
– The Electrodermal response is a very good indicator of emotional condition. This works on the changes in the skins electrical properties like electric impedance, etc.
– The cardiovascular changes in values indicate emotional state. The device uses the blood volume pressure sensor to measure the variability of heart rate.
– Skin temperature changes are another aspect in which can be used for data on emotional state. This is measured using the thermometer in the tracker
This device actually helps to not only track the user’s emotions but also to notify if one is in a bad emotional state. The application gives the user techniques like meditation, breathing exercising to help in the situation. This is very useful in handling emotional breakdowns.
