Work is offering cash incentives to do healthy things and part of that includes wearing a fitness tracker. While looking into different fitness trackers I discovered a model that claims to monitor your stress levels via heart rate variation and give a vibration notification suggesting doing breathing exercises when your heart rate spikes in a way suggesting your really stressed. This sounded quite interesting because I have a history of being unable to tell when I'm getting stressed out or depressed until it gets acute and then I might have difficulty functioning well until I address the underlying causes. Kind of like driving a car with a broken gas gauge, never know when its going to go empty. So a biofeedback stress monitor sounds potentially valuable.
Has anyone else used such a device and have insight on how useful or not it is?
