Socks that detect stress

Just in case you are overworked at the office and can't tell that all those palpitations and sweaty palms are but the results of stress, here's a pair of socks from ETH Zurich’s Electronics Laboratory that will monitor your stress levels so that you can identify the tipping point to prevent burnout and depression more effectively. Since our body secretes more sweat when under stress, sensors have been included into normal socks so that it can get to work, knowing just how much stress you have accumulated by the week to supply you with a warning to slow down and take things easy.

Shirt that helps you identify stress

There’s no denying the importance of clothes in our daily lives, but would you want your shirt to be able to get more knowledge about you, specifically your stress levels? Well, that shirt has bio sensors that will be able to determine the level of your stress, after which signals will be sent to the corresponding LEDs connected to the shirt. The higher your stress levels are, the faster the LEDs will blink, and therapy will certainly be much easier since your partner knows where to stimulate based on the blinking LEDs.
