Feel Is a Mood Bracelet That Wants to Make You Happier
Mood
rings and mood sensing apps have been around for quite a while, but
they’ve never really been anything more than unreliable gimmicky fads.
Now, there’s a new wearable from New York-based startup Sentio Solutions
that doesn’t change color, but wants to help you improve your mood by
describing your emotional state, thanks to its bio-signal-tracking
sensors.
The Feel Wristband
looks like a pretty ordinary, rounded bracelet, but there’s a lot going
on inside it. There are four sensors that track galvanic skin response,
blood volume pulse, and skin temperature. A proprietary algorithm
categorizes the signals into emotions. The data is transferred via
Bluetooth to the connected app, which then visually charts your emotions
throughout the day. What’s pretty neat is that it shows how your mood
is affected by factors, such as who you meet with, the environmental
conditions of where you are, and what you’re doing.
Will
a wristband actually be able to make you feel happier? Is this even
real or is it mumbo-jumbo? At this point, it’s hard to say whether the
Feel band can actually unravel your emotions with data from its sensors
and algorithm. We’ll have to wait and see until we can get a hands on
with one of these, which won’t be available until December, according to
Wareable. We’ve reached out to the company for more info.
The
company first announced the device late last year, but unveiled a
prototype at CES 2016 in Las Vegas. The Feel band will come in red,
turquoise, black, and white.
