New wristband lets your boss know if you’re unhappy
At first glance the silicone wristband could be mistaken for one that tracks your heart rate when you are doing exercise.
However, the wearable technology, called a Moodbeam, isn’t here to monitor your physical health. Instead it 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.
Aimed at companies who wish to monitor the wellbeing of staff
‘Moodbeam’ is a Fitbit-style wristband that lets wearers log whether they’re happy or unhappy, and is designed to help employers monitor how their staff are coping with working from home. The wristbands, which are linked to a mobile app, have two buttons, with users pressing the yellow button if they’re happy, and the blue button if they’re unhappy.
