Wearables Track Mood and Emotional Stress

Wearable devices are now trying to track your mood and emotional stress, not just your steps or heart rate.

They do this by looking at things like your heart rate, skin temperature, and how you sleep.

For example, the Fitbit Sense 2 can tell when you're stressed and suggest breathing exercises.

The Apple Watch also helps by showing when you might be under strain.

Other devices, like the Oura Ring, give a 'readiness' score based on sleep and heart rate.

Some even use special headsets to monitor brain activity.

However, these devices can't directly measure things like stress hormones, and they might not always be accurate because emotions are complex.

Companies are working to improve these technologies, but for now, they're more about awareness than medical diagnosis.
