If this works as advertised, it could finally deliver on the promise of personalized health and wellness that we've been hearing about for years. Instead of just seeing a spike in your heart rate, you could get a notification telling you that it's likely due to stress and that you should take a few deep breaths. That's a real, tangible benefit that could justify the cost and hassle of wearing one of these things 24/7.
Do we really need notifications to tell us that our heart is pounding harder?
I am seriously fed up with my phone bugging me to tell me what I already know because I sense it.
The better use for this technology is if we could get trends and correlations with other things they already collect. E.g. pick up a different commute because the usual one gives me too much stress due to traffic jams, and today I am already on the edge.
