The wearable technology, silicon wristband, called a Moodbeam, allows your employer to track your emotional state. The gadget, which links to a mobile phone app and web interface, has two buttons, one yellow and one blue. The idea is that you press the yellow one if you are feeling happy and the blue one if you are sad.
The companies who wish to observe their employees’ mental and emotional state can ask their employees to wear this silicon wristband. Managers can then view an online dashboard to see how workers are feeling and coping.
Christina Colmer McHugh was inspired by her daughter when she saw her struggling at school and she wanted a way for her child to let her know how she was feeling. The wristband was launched commercially in 2016.
