Each band contains a medical-grade sensor the startup developed called the life spectrum analyzer. Phyode says the components include instrumentation amplifiers, a filter chain, a precision analog-to-digital converter, a patent-pending dry conduction electrode, and a digital signal processor. This allows the device to capture and analyze electrical impulses from special cells in the right atrium, an indicator for your body’s autonomic nervous system.
Measurements are taking by touching and holding the wristband. Then the results are transmitted to an app on the user’s phone. Your mental state gets mapped out showing where you are on the passive, excitable, pessimistic and anxious spectrum. When things are really off, the app’s virtual coach, a “fitness” whale named Attu, guides you through breathing rhythms.

When you are in a bad mood, you don't need a smart ass phone telling you that you are in a bad mood. I suppose there would be some satisfaction in smashing the wristband and cell phone. Instant gratification like that can boost your mood a lot.
I find that stress can be relieved by deer hunting. When you see a buck you picture the face of everyone who pissed you off during the year on the deer as you shoot it. I usually shoot it about seven times....I feel great afterwards and I have lost the stress I carried around all year.
If you don't like killing animals, take it out on a plant. Get a baseball bat and attack a thistle or burdock bush. You can even hang a picture of the person on them. You need to beware though, They aren't defenseless plants, you may regret it later when your all itchy and scratching yourself. Burdock leaves can also cause hard breathing if crushed for some people

Being the non violent person I am.....I beat the crap out of my pillows. Keeps 'em fluffy.

The only way a pillow will relieve stress is if you are beating your hubby over the head with it. I wonder if you are allowed to whack the disruptive students with a pillow
