Philips Electronics and ABN AMR have created a kind of bracelet that measures the level of emotion and stress that its user has at all times. It’s called EmoBracelet and, accompanied by a luminous container called EmoBowl , it alerts the owner of how much “tension” it accumulates using lights of different colors ranging from yellow to red , depending on whether the emotions are less or more intense. In this way, financial investors , the main recipients of the new gadget according to Philips, can be sure that they make their decisions with a cool head .
The device uses technology similar to lie detectors, measuring electrical signals from the skin to identify emotional state. If emotions escalate , both from excessive fear and disproportionate enthusiasm, the Emobowl turns red, telling the user to wait before acting. A good technological ally in times of crisis.
