You are stuck in traffic, you are late for work and now some idiot has just cut you up.
You are stressed.
Now imagine a tiny little alarm going off on your watch to tell you that.
At the risk of sounding like the bloke from Dragons Den, Russian Company Emvio are looking for $440,000 (Canadian) or £234,517 to bring their stress-busting watch to market.
More specifically, the watch aims to help wearers manage their stress levels.
There are no message notifications or apps, instead Emvio monitors variations in users’ heart rate and only bleeps once your stress levels start to rise.
Wearers’ daily data is fed to an app which can spot trends or individual triggers and help them manage their stress better in the future.
So you have identified your stress triggers and put strategies in place to deal with them.
What then?
Anthony Moskalenko from Emvio said the watch will, ‘help users to develop stress-control habits and cultivate more mindfulness, stressful events will never go away, though our ways of dealing with it will evolve.’
The watch is expected to cost $206 (CAD) or £110.
